I have two favortie TV shows: Oprah and Ellen. When I am with my boyfriend and the sports channel is on, as if it is ever off!, I go to another room and watch MY shows. I find the shows educational at times, entertaining for sure, and far from mind-numbing as some of those sports channels tend to be.
Today, on Ellen, I learrned about a guy who discovered an island in Puerto Rico called Dead Dog Island. It is a place where the folks of the island put their unwanted, neglected, unloved pets, mostly dogs. This guy, after discovering the place, made a life changing decision to stop surfing and put his time and money into rehabilitating the dogs and then finding homes for them. Please go to the site and check it out.
Oprah always has something for me to learn. I especially enjoy her Dr. Oz segments -about men's health. I find the information eye opening, and I make my boyfriend leave his TV in order to watch. He is grateful for what he learns. So, if you have the time, watch the show.
Both shows have archives so if you miss a segment or you want to flip through the archive selections, you can.
Enjoy the journey!

Hi thanks for visiting my journal. I think you will really like being here and you meet such nice people. It takes a little time to get known. Just read other journals that you find, leave comments. You can find them at People Connection and then when you read others you can find them in their comments from others. you will be in the swing of things before you know it. I will mention you in my journal tonight. Paula
Glad you enjoyed the read but I can't take credit for the writing. My cousin emails me things of that sort all the time and I like to pass them on.
I like to watch Oprah but she just happens to be on when my granddaughter is here after school watching Nick 170. They both have good shows most of the time. I like sci fi, history, food & pbs. Catch you later........alice
I read about your journal in Paula's journal. Welcome to J-Land. I too am a Grandma and retired. I hope you will visit my journal as well. Have a great weekend. Joyce
Hi, Welcome to J-land. I came over from Paula's journal. I watched Ellen's show about those dogs. Made my heart ache for them and it was hard to keep from crying to see them. Bless that young man and his wife'e heart for taking on that project. Bless Ellen for giving what she did. That is so heartless for people to do amimals any such way. There is no food or fresh island on that island. Come by my journal anytime for a visit. Helen
I just found your journal thru blogplugs, & would like to welcome you. I've found much of this journaling community to be very supportive when I've needed it most, & I hope you have the same experience.
The man who dedicated himself to Dog Island? I admire him. So often we see things we feel are so wrong, but few make such changes in their own lives to try to right the wrong. I do at times, but I could do so more often. ~Mary
