Carolyn Braden's Humphrey GoKart: What a Busy Holiday Season

Going to the North Pole, fashion parties, sing-arounds and more....Humphrey was a busy monster!

Carolyn Braden's Eskie: He Loves to Model

Here's my amazingly talented and smart American Eskimo, Vegas. He was on a Hallmark card a couple of years ago and hasn't stopped modeling for my camera since. He actually gets excited to work with me. I love my Hipstamatic app. Here's some pics from our recent photo shoot.

Carolyn Braden: Love this quote!

Carolyn Braden's Monica the Maine Coon

She once was a tiny kitten that we knew would soon grow.
We loved her and raised her but little did we know.....
She'd be a giant!

As a female main coon, she could grow until she's five years old. She's a beauty. She was born into Congo Coons and we knew she was to be our baby at one week old.
She's our beauty queen! I've been loving her morning ball games.....she brings me her raffia ball at 6:00 am during the week. She's my fun wake up call. Very smart!

Say a Little Prayer

Dear God,

I pray to keep my grandfather healthy. I'm sad for the family and need you to keep grandmother remaining strong no matter what. 

Amen. 

Seize The Deal or Seize Your Money and Run?

I will never buy anything from Seize The Deal again and I encourage others to do the same. In a recent purchase of 4 Christmas gifts, my recipients mysteriously were unable to use their gifts. As it turns out, unknowingly to me prior to purchase, Seize The Deal hired Digital Doorstep to deliver the gifts. DD just went bankrupt. When you call DD, their phone is disconnected. When you talk to Seize The Deal, they say to call DD because it's their fault. Even their CEO will not speak up. No where on ANY paperwork does it say Seize The Deal would be hiring another company to deliver the goods, therefore Seize The Deal should refund the money. But, even after talking to them non-stop, they will not take responsibility. It is STD's (oh wow.... not a good abbreviation!) problem and they are to refund the money of the 6000+ people who purchased this gift and then they are the ones that are supposed to sue Seize The Deal. Our bank is going to help us out and I am contacting the Better Business Bureau and as many news stations as possible to spread the word of this horrible company. They need to ask themselves what I ask my students. "What is the right thing to do?" If I don't get anywhere with my ideas soon, I am contacting my "higher-ups" to take the steps necessary to get my money back because this is wrong. Never have I had a problem with a company not taking ownership of a serious wrong doing. It's really really really really crappy of STD.
