To be fair, one is only a foster dog...except we love her so much that we're adopting her!  Top: Bernadette's fearful "Before" photo, taken at the shelter Bottom: Bernadette's cheerful "After" photo, taken the day we brought her home Bernadette, originally named Tulip, had arrived at the shelter as a stray.

Beware of (CUTE) Identity Theft this Easter

If you're looking for the cutest Easter craft ever , try these Peeps nests . And if my evil laugh really spoke to you, check out my delirious  murdered Peeps . So Eastery! Okay, on to the cute identity theft: Happy Easter!
