We are having a lot of fun with our dog, Leaf's, race to the White House. Below is one of the many comments we've received about using humor as a comic relief from politics as usual. http://is.gd/3wKn

"I have decided Leaf has my vote. With his powerful history, he's a dog you can believe in. Yet while Leaf does have a remarkable story that could probably only happen in America, I have to confess I was on the fence. That is, until he introduced his running mate.

I am passionate about Cuddles Anderson's candidacy. It is long past time for a female in the White House.

Leaf and Cuddles have such moving stories. True American narratives, the likes of which the other campaigns can only dream. Now, that's the change we need. Leaf Anderson. Yes. He. Can. --Margo

Why do you think your pet would make a good President?

BIG FAVOR!!!
We are compiling letters and comments about Leaf for a writing project. Since we adopted Leaf from the animal shelter on October 7, 2006, we have consistently written about him in the Angel Animals Story of the Week and our blogs.

You have been part of his journey from the beginning. He entered as an abandoned, frightened dog attempting to live in a home with two cats, a bird, and two humans who grieved over the death of their beloved yellow Lab, Taylor, only months earlier. We'd love to hear from all of you who have followed Leaf through such things as dog park, doggie daycare, panic attacks, fear of strangers, animal communicators, learning to live with cats, running for President, and growing into trust and love.

We'd also appreciate hearing from those of you who are just now tuning in. If you want to catch up, you can go to www.angelanimals.net and click on archived newsletters.

What are your impressions of Leaf? What are your thoughts about him and his journey? Please send letters within the next two weeks, if possible to angelanimals@angelanimals.net.

We would greatly appreciate hearing from you in regard to Leaf and how he might have helped you remember your own journeys with animals.

UNIQUE HORSE RESCUE

Earlier this week we spoke with Cynthia Royal. She and her husband Tony Royal have appeared in horse shows and expos around the country. They demonstrate their intuitive ways of training horses for millions of people with the help of Blanco, the horse who played Shadowfax in the Lord of the Rings movie. www.IMAGINE-DiscoverTheMagic.com

Now Cynthia and Tony have rescued an historically significant herd of Polish Arabian horses whose ancestors were brought via a letter of intercession by President Ronald Reagan to the United States. The result has been that a herd of thirty white Polish Arabians fell into squalor and horrendous conditions.

Read about the Polish Arabian's journey and what Cynthia and Tony Royal are trying to do for them at www.pegasusrising.org. Consider making a tax-deductible donation for the horses' transport, veterinary care, and upkeep. They Royals' monthly cost for hay and feed alone is $4000!
