Wags and Walks


A local based animal rescue run by fellow Jen’s list member & mom of 2 little girls has been awarded a donation of $10,000 from DogTime Media in a nationally based contest. This exciting event will take place on November 16th, Tuesday at 2pm at Baldwin Park Shelter. “Saving one dog at a time won’t change the world, but it will change the world for that one dog” That’s Wags and Walks favorite quote & they never lose sight of it. Wags and Walks mission is to shed light on the harsh reality that amazing, well behaved, beautiful “pets” are dumped at shelters daily & most are put to sleep due to lack of funding & space. To be a part of their celebration and join the mission to save lives, join them at www.facebook.com/wagsandwalks & www.wagsandwalks.org.

“If you’re looking for a great family photographer for your holiday photos, I’d like to recommend Sergio Estrada to you. He took a number of business pix for me in San Jose this summer and I liked him so much we’re flying him to LA to take my family pix. I offered to share his info as a favor to him and other moms – nothing is in it for me! He’ll be here on Dec 3rd and is charging $250 for an hour shoot. You get all the pix on a CD.
