Our 200th Post!! Dedicated to Virgin Airlines!

Wow! Needless to say I should have reached this milestone a few months ago but I will still give my self a paw on the back for doing 200 meaningful, hard hitting posts worthy of a Pulitzer Prize.

For my 200th post I am going to post an amazing story about how Virgin Airlines (we love Virgin Airlines!!) is helping San Francisco animal shelters deliver a group of Chihuahuas in "Operation Chihuahua" to animal shelters in NYC who have a demand for Chihuahuas on the East Coast. Apparently there are too many Chihuahuas on the West Coast (thank you Paris Hilton and a large Chicano population) so instead of putting them to sleep someone came up with the brilliant idea of transporting them to NYC.

Here is an excerpt from Virgin's press release:

"Virgin America is assisting the City of San Francisco Animal Care and Control by flying Chihuahua pups from San Francisco to New York so they can be adopted into loving homes to ring in the New Year. The massive overpopulation of Chihuahuas in California is forcing animal shelters on the West Coast to look to shelters on the East Coast for help – where there is demand for the dogs. The San Francisco Animal Care & Control asked Virgin America to spare a seat during the busy holiday travel season to help fly these needy pups. Several Virgin America teammates have volunteered to escort the pups on the flights to the East Coast – and will track their journey with real-time updates via the airline’s fleetwide WiFi service.

Virgin America will be sending the dogs off in high-style, with a red carpet send-off at the gate, complete with doggie treats and plenty of toys to play with until departure. The Chihuahuas will be received at JFK by the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) – who will place the little dogs in loving adoptive homes."

There has been many fund raisers on the West Coast lately to raise money to send the surplus of 10,000 Chihuahuas to other parts of the nation for adoption. So if you know if anyone who is interested in adopting a Chihuahua just have them contact the ASCPA in Los Angeles or San Francisco. I had a Chihuahua once and he was so cute. His name was Snoopy (yes, very original) and he was a great pet (until the day I walked into my room and caught him humping my stuff animals which I had to immediately discard of). That's why it's important to do the "snip, snip".

Well I love that Virgin Airlines is such an out of the box airline. My mommy always loves taking Virgin so now she will make an extra special effort to use Virgin in the future.

Well, Chow for now!
