annanicole.jpgLeading the news today is the death of American trainwreck Anna Nicole Smith, aged 39. But while perhaps no one could be surprised by the hard-living former Playmate's sudden burn-out, what is surprising is the vast and immediate response across the internet. Anna Nicole Smith, your story was a trainwreck, but a trainwreck that ended too soon. And we want you to know that that means something to us, because we have very empty lives.

There's no good segué between the death of ANS and the the prevention of animal cruelty, so we'll just plow on. The Canadian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) has come under criticism lately for its handling of fundraising. Why? Because it only has two shelters, in Laval and Montreal. Nevertheless, fundraising fliers go out nationwide carrying the Canadian title, raising unreasonably large sums for a relatively small portion of Canada's anti-cruelty organizations.

Annnd so.... today's life lesson is: No matter what your two year old tells you, he can't handle his cocaine. A two year old was seized in the interior B.C. town of Quesnel yesterday, after being found suffering from cocaine intoxication. No one knows how or why this occurred, but one can only speculate that a little homage was underway. The trainwreck goes on.

I volunteer as a dogwalker for the CSPCA and even I thought that it was a nation-wide organisation! I won't stop volunteering because ultimately the animals would just suffer, but these questions should definitely be addressed...
