Good morning, everyone,<\/p>\n

For those celebrating Happy Pride, we hope you have a wonderful safe weekend with lots of fun.<\/p>\n

I am slowly getting used to not having Layla by my side to celebrate as she always came to all the events with me, it is not easy, and I am shedding tears here and there, but I know she would want me to go out and enjoy myself. San Francisco is all colorful with the Rainbow Flags everywhere, people are already dressed up in rainbows plus so much more and the atmosphere is wonderful. We are putting it all aside and enjoying this weekend with so much happening.<\/p>\n

The Pink Triangle is up in its usual place, and for those that do not know, during the Holocaust the Gays had to wear a pink triangle to show they were gay and many were sent to the gas chambers so this triangle symbolizes the hatred and reminds us that WE MUST NOT FORGET, NEVER AGAIN.<\/p>\n

Last week I went to a Pride Party and cried as Layla was with me last year, I called her my mini dyke LOL, and today I am doing a double decker bus tour of the LGBT history of San Francisco which I am really excited to do. It is organized by the Perpetual Sisters of Indulgence which is an amazing non-profit organization that helps LGBT youth and others who are homeless get on their feet, which I think is fantastic. \u00a0They are all drag queens.<\/p>\n

I am taking a rest for the rest of the weekend, it is too much for an old lady like me LOL.<\/p>\n

With all the events going on we must not forget what is happening next week, as that is so important. The 4th<\/sup> of July is around the corner and that means the nightmare starts for our fur kids. The fireworks grrr. I hate them. Please make sure your fur kids are safe in the house, tags are up to date, microchip is up to date and most of all they are safe inside. Shelters unfortunately will be filling up with strays who have fled from fear and if your pet does not have the correct information on them, they will never be able to get home. I am listing below what I used to do with Layla plus the 4th<\/sup> of July hazards to keep them safe and healthy when you are celebrating.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please keep them safe<\/p><\/div>\n

Happy Pride to those that celebrate, and we are blessed we can celebrate in this country and are not persecuted like in some other countries PLUS have a happy safe 4th<\/sup> of July to all and enjoy your long weekend.<\/p>\n
