We love it when we get to give Fuzzy hugs and Kitty Kisses to local deserving individuals and organizations! So it is with great Seattle pride that we are giving a great big kitty kiss and super huge fuzzy hug to CEO Dan Price of Gravity Payments http://gravitypayments.com
Mr. Price announced that his company will be raising workers annual wages to
$70,000.00 per year! You heard me right... acts like this give us hope that inevitably humanity will come to understand that Spock was right...the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...

We can only hope that other CEO's will follow suit.
And on the flip side...a big sticky paw to Bob Mercer the billionaire backer of Ted Cruz. Problem is he owes the IRS somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 billion dollars! Yep, billion with a B!
If you were asking; where have all our tax dollars gone? With millionaires and billionaires not paying their taxes or paying a teeny, tiny, itsy bitsy portion of said taxes my guess is they are going for fancy cars and houses and... http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/10/meet-ted-cruz-s-tax-dodging-sugar-daddy.html
Next a big hairball with a side of sticky paw to Tulsa, Oklahoma fake police guy, Robert Bates who shot and killed an unarmed man allegedly by mistakenly discharging his handgun instead of his tazer neither of which I can fathom why he was carrying... but and I quote; "it's the second worst thing that's ever happened to me", Gates said which he quickly changed to the worst thing a minute later ; http://www.aol.com/article/2015/04/17/oklahoma-volunteer-deputy-disputes-claim-he-lacked-training/21173471/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmaing11%7Cdl7%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D836061949
Look it's a shame that Mr. Bates has had to"go through such a shocking and tragic experience". I think it's a little indignant of him to think of himself as the victim here especially when he put himself into the situation in the first place...
Lots and lots of fuzzy hugs and kitty kisses to all of those affected by the Oklahoma City bombing 20 years ago; http://res.dallasnews.com/interactives/okc-anniversary/ our thoughts and prayers are with you always...
And finally a big fuzzy hug to bunny's...
we were at the pet store today and guess what? They had bunny's!
If you have ever wanted a bunny, check out their face book page or give them a call. There are bunny's just waiting for you to come and adopt them... https://www.facebook.com/pages/CritterQueen-Rabbit-Rescue/196155857136485
And last but not least...more bunny's!
Have a super Sunday!
