Quiz time, Fatties ~
What do I love almost as much as I love dogs? COUPONS of course! (Anyone who knows me is rolling their eyes right now). I love coupons. I love them so much, I dedicate a large amount of my Sunday afternoons scouring the paper looking for deals.
So here's what I did, I created a coupon for all of my Fat Louie items on my Etsy account. For a limited time, use the promo code FATLOUIE and receive free shipping on your Fat Louie Fund item.
Thanks again for supporting the cause. One life saved, many lives enriched.

New Items!
Fatties ~
I'm learning that knitting is an art form. A three dimensional art form. You can knit anything. Literally ANYTHING. Stand still long enough, I might just knit you!

Hello hello hello!
Thanks to all the Fatties out there (you know who you are) that have given me some very constructive tips on how to better improve my MellyJoCo appearance both on etsy.com and blogger.com. I REALLY appreciate it!
Thanks also to www.ehow.com for giving me some good tips on how to shoot my items in a better light (ha! See what I did there?). Hopefully my view-ability has improved at least a little.
It's a work in progress... aren't we all?
Visit my etsy page to see what else I've done!

Featured Pet
Barnaby!!!
| Breed: | Terrier | Secondary Breed: | Miniature Schnauzer |
| Gender: | Male | Age: | Senior |
| Size: | (Unknown) | Altered: | Yes |
| Date Received: | 01/27/2012 | Record No.: | 12096 |
How cute it this fella?! What a doll. Schnauzers are known for their longevity and senior animals are just as wonderful as the yummiest, fuzziest of puppies. Visit the Ingham County Animal Control website for more information.
Barnaby was found in Lansing wearing a red plaid coat and dragging a red leash. Not sure what happened to his owner. He is an older dog that would probably do best in a quiet home. He did not appreciate a puppy batting at him, which is totally understandable! When introduced to a cat he was more interested in the cat's food than the cat. He likes to be near people and would make a great companion! Color Code - Green

A Shelter is Chosen!
Hey Fatties~
"Fatties" is my term of endearment for Fat Louie Fund followers. I'm sorry if you find it insulting but Louie never complained about being called fat so neither can you (wink).
I have selected a shelter to receive my donations via the Fat Louie Fund!
The Ingham County Animal Control consists of sixteen staff members tasked to enforce state and county animal laws and to help and protect both animals and its citizens. Each deputy is sworn in by the Ingham County Sheriff to enforce the laws pertaining to animals in the State of Michigan and the Ingham County Animal Control Ordinance. Officers are assigned to one of three different shifts. Animal control officers in Ingham County will respond to an average of 8000 citizen complaints in over 500 square miles of the county. Officers investigate animal welfare complaints, vicious dog calls, bite reports and they patrol over 500 square miles of the county for complaints of dogs at-large; reports of dangerous or vicious dogs and enforcement of the dog licensing law. During shelter hours officers respond to emergency calls for injured animals needing medical attention and investigate animal cruelty complaints. Officers also serve as educators in the community on topics of responsible pet ownership through various department programs promoting humane and responsible care of domestic animals.
Visit the Ingham Country Animal Control & Shelter to view its current residence in need of homes or to donate directly!

Fat Louie Fund is born!
The Fat Louie Fund is a tribute to my best friend, Luigi “Louie” Harris.
Louie, the quintessential pound puppy, was rescued in 2001. At the time he was thought to be approximately 1-2 years old and a Jack Russell/Mystery mix (which I now believe to be Welsh Corgi). He was discovered dumpster diving by the local dog catcher and brought to the shelter.
Amongst the barking brigade of black lab mixes, pit bulls and German shepherds sat a white, medium sized, peculiar and angelic looking pup with eyes that would make anyone’s heart melt, quietly waiting to be noticed. When our eyes met his tail immediately started wagging. When the door opened out bounded the oddest creature I had ever seen. With the head of a JRT stuck on a long body with stubby little legs, he reminded me of a centaur; Two creatures Krazy Glued together to make one. I was intrigued. When he trotted over, sat on my foot and stared up at me, I was sold. From that day forward we were inseparable.
After 10 years of perfect health, Louie was diagnosed with Lymphosarcoma. On January 2, 2012 it was decided to let Louie pass with dignity and be spared of his pain and suffering. He was an exceptional dog, a wonderful companion and first-rate psychotherapist. I miss him every moment of every day and cannot wait to be reunited with him. Until then, I have made it my mission to spread Louie’s story in hopes of helping others like him out there who have so much to offer to anyone with a heart and an open mind.
Sometimes when we rescue animals, they end up rescuing us.
Because of Louie, I am inspired to help animal rescue whenever possible. Therefore, 50% of all animal accessory proceeds from my Etsy shop will go to an animal shelter in the Mid-Michigan area. For more information on the featured shelter and it’s furry residents please visit often.
