This Dog Was Tied Up In The Woods, But There Was Something Even More Heartbreaking

Many hunters in Greece consider their hunting dogs to be more like tools of their trade and not living, breathing creatures.

Unfortunately, this often results in their abuse and neglect. One night, animal rescuer Valia Orfanidou received a call about an abandoned dog in the mountains. She drove through the dark forest to find him, and made a sad discovery when she finally did. Tied to a tree and left to starve was a nine-year-old hunting dog with a minor limp.

Orfanidou freed the abandoned animal and guided him back to her car, hoping to give him a second chance at life.

She transported the dog, who she later named Tool, to a local shelter.

The next morning, Tool was confused and lethargic. He wandered the shelter like a ghost and avoided contact with staff and other animals.

She Took A Piece Of Fabric And Made It Into A Pillow Cover Without Sewing

Oftentimes, redecorating comes at a ridiculous cost. Wallpaper, paint, new furniture…the list goes on. But when it comes to giving a couch a whole new look, you can stop at just one item: fabric you probably already have lying around.

Without even sewing or cutting her swatch of cloth, this woman gives a throw pillow a makeover in just two minutes!

I can’t believe how easy that was! If you have a plain-looking couch, you can do so much to spice it up with fun fabrics like this one. What a fast, adorable way to makeover a piece of furniture you use every day.

Breitbart Awards announced; partisan shill Joan Walsh and friends still bitter about Andrew Breitbart’s successes

http://twitter.com/#!/joanwalsh/status/204346853838430208

Nominations are now open for the Breitbart Awards, a joint effort by the Heritage Foundation and the Franklin Center to recognize individuals who “advance the spirit of Andrew Breitbart’s work.”

Breitbart Awards Honor Andrew's Legacy In Journalism, Blogging & Citizen Activism http://t.co/sKXHkqMf

Naturally, so-called journalists like Joan Walsh tried ever so pathetically to ridicule Breitbart and the awards honoring his legacy. We’d expect nothing else. Walsh is clearly still smarting from having to admit—with certitude—that Breitbart made her “look kind of stupid” for defending Anthony Weiner.

Actually, Walsh is probably still licking her Rathergate wounds along with the other media lapdogs in the kennel. When Dan Rather was forced into early retirement by bloggers doing the mainstream media’s job, she wrote:

[B]loggers today only play journalists on the web, without the commitment to fairness and accuracy that still distinguishes the best of the MSM.

Guess you can’t teach an old lapdog new tricks.

Other liberal water carriers also tried to ridicule the Breitbart Awards.

and then they lie about it? RT @joanwalsh No, winners receive awards wearing a pimp costume! @EricBoehlert @BigJournalism

— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) May 20, 2012

Aw man, wish we had the time to catalog every lie told by Soros monkey Eric Boehlert. But why bother? Just check his Twitter feed on any day ending in a “y.”

@EricBoehlert @joanwalsh @BigJournalism And then claim there were no awards, it was invented by the evil liberal media

— Robert Silverman (@BobSaietta) May 20, 2012

@EricBoehlert @joanwalsh And then write about how Obama said he was born at the @BigJournalism awards in '91. But it's NOT birtherism

#Breitbart "awards" for journalism? As the kids say: LMFAO. http://t.co/ALwohbN8 #rage #sherrod #crackpots #teabaggers

Well if that isn’t the crackpot calling the kettle black. Clearly the kettle is so squeaky clean the crackpot can see its own reflection.

These tweets read like an index of people who will never have journalism awards named after them—well, unless someone launches a journalism Razzies.

@BigJournalism Is there an @ericboehlert award for partisan hackery? @NolteNC @danaloesch

— Mike Flynn (@Flynn1776) May 20, 2012

On Saturday, Breitbart News editor John Nolte vented on Twitter about the glaring differences between “real journalist” Andrew Breitbart and the hacks and shills that populate the lapdog media:
