On another note, it's almost September 1st, which means the stores will start putting out their Xmas stuff...let's get in the mood...courtesy of Marnie the Dog... Little bit more about her: At nearly 10 years old, Marnie was found by Animal Control, smelly and matted on the streets of Connecticut in August 2012. She went unclaimed and was moved to a shelter where they named her Stinky. After 4 months at the shelter she was adopted via a petfinder.com post.

As Marnie became more comfortable and confident in her new home, her personality began to shine through. When the bae started to take Marnie out to small parties and social situations, Marnie felt happier than ever. Less
