Chucky and Coco hang out at the 2013 Oscars with the Adorable QuvenZhane Wallis - Best Actress Nominee




QuvenZhane Wallis Carried in her adorable priZed possession puppy handbag clutch on the red carpet Sunday at the 2013 Oscars where she was nominated for Best Actress!  And her studded puppy handbag looked just like our little Coco! ( And to think Coco thought it was a real puppy!)
QuvenZhane, best known for her role in "Beasts of the Southern Wild",  loved her "Loyal and True" tshirt where she signed her doggies names! And if it wasn't for her gorgeous Princess gown she would have worn it right there and then!  QuvenZhane was our pick for Best Actress, and a woof and a puppy smooch go out to her!

What a feeling to come home after a long day, and whats the first thing that happens as you walk through that door?? Your furry best friend jumps all over you covering you in kisses! They call it unconditional love, we call it happiness!  A dog can teach you so much, kindness, compassion, love, patience, and the list goes on and on.  When we bring home these rescue dogs from shelters, the first thing you see is their hesitation and many times their fear.  Giving us the power to make change in their lives.  Just a bowl of water, and some food and a hug, and he's your best friend forever.  Give the most difficult child a chance to love and teach a dog, and you will see transformation within the child. Give a depressed or angry adult the chance to work with a dog in need, and see the change within them.  Our dogs do rescue us, they dont know it and  we sometimes dont see it...however take a step back and see the difference they bring out in each of us.

Keaton Simons, a long time rescue dog supporter and an amaZing singer, stopped by our Oscar Lounge!  Sharing his insight as to how his rescue dog in fact rescued him!

"If not for Bentley, how would I feel I had a collaborator, even when I'm writing alone?
If not for Bentley, how would I have things to post on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter when I've said it all?
If not for Bentley, how would I have discovered that reading doesn't always involve words?
If not for Bentley, how would I get to remember our real power as humans, which is the power to help our animal friends?
Bentley is something to sing about." - Keaton Simons
