February is here. And we couldn't be happier. Unfortunately we didn't make our incentive trip but we were very close this time. And we are going to make it for sure next time!! I am confident of it that we will get there. Its just a matter of time. We are still happy even tho we didn't make the trip. Matt and I both worked very hard and feel a huge sense of accomplishment. Plus we grew our team and our team members continue to thrive and build their Scentsy business!
I got my new car and I simply cannot tell you how much I love it. I got the Kia Soul. Its one of the best valued vehicles on the market. Since I got my car I've been catching up on Scentsy deliveries. All my Scentsy delivers arrived just in time that my new car did. Whoohoo!!! Scentsy being delivered in style!
So things have been busy for us. Matt has been super busy with his Real Estate and working hard for his clients.
We also decided that we are keeping our little foster dude, and have renamed him (accordingly). Yep we now have a little Anakin Sidewalker. He is the cutest little man but he does have a little mischief in him. He arrived thru another rescue that got him from a back yard breeder. Anakin's mom and dad were brother and sister. This little man had several medical conditions since birth. He was from a litter of 8 puppies and all the puppies were sold to make money for the owners. I feel awful because I wonder how many of his sibblings also have the same issues. We ended up with Ani because nobody wanted to euthanize him nor did they want to pay the money to find out how to fix him. Basically the back yard breeders did not want to take responsibility for their actions. Rescue a Boxer stepped up and brought this boy into our care. We paid for his heart scans and medical workups. After appointments with specialists it was determined that this young pup has a grade 5 heart murmur and pulmonic stenosis. But the worst part of it is that he also has a severe case subaortic stenosis. Basically the wall of his heart is almost 5 times thicker than it should be. Blood doesn't travel thru his heart very well and the vets say that his life spam is bleak. He also has fissures in his anus and does not have control of his bum. Don't feel bad for him!! He is a REAL puppy and you wouldn't know that he is sick. He has the energy of a pup and more to spare! He is living a comfortable and healthy life thanks to Rescue A Boxer and the care that was provided by the vets and specialists.
Because of his heart issues he isn't a good candidate for adoption. Let's face it........this little guy wasn't going anywhere anyhow. He walked right into our house and captured our hearts. He is definitely part of the Star Wars pack.
I cannot stress the importance of rescuing a dog. There are so many homeless dogs that need and deserve a great home. It is estimated that 3 to 4 million dogs are euthanized in the US each year. That is a huge amount. A number that keeps me awake a night. If you feel that you must have a puppy please contact a reputable breeder. A reputable breeder breeds the dogs to better the health of the breed. They know what they are doing and aren't just playing God. They do health and temperment testings on their dogs. They aren't always breeding their dogs and aren't having litters after litters. The reputable breeder will show you where the mom lives and you will see how well the mom is taken care of. We hear of many sad stories and its heartbreaking. Recently I was told about how a backyard breeder bred his female and was selling the puppies on Craigslist. The mom normally lives outside except they allowed her inside just to birth her pups. Once the pups were birthed the mom was banished outside again. They only brought her inside to nurse the pups. All the puppies were sold without any health testing done on the mom or the dad or the puppies. They were sold before they were old enough to leave their mom. pups should stay with their mom till at least 8 weeks. These pups were sold at 5 weeks old. The owner is also selling the mom on Craigslist and is advertising her as a good breeding dog, that will provide the buyer with a good income of puppies. It breaks my heart that people are so cruel and so heartless. Please people rescue! Adopt a dog, there is one out there that needs you!
Next week I am going to Scentsy Spring Sprint with my team. I'm looking forward to it because a friend is coming along as well. She has been on the fence about joining Scentsy. I was on the fence before too (not for long mind you) but it wasn't long before I took the plunge. And I'm so glad that I did. I cannot tell you how much of a positive impact it has had on our lives. Scentsy has 3 brands. There is one there for everyone! I represent all 3 brands of Scentsy (Scentsy Fragrance; Velata and Grace Adele). Truth be told Scentsy Fragrance is still my favorite!
