Blu's Story
Growing up, as an uneducated child would be, I always wanted the typical fluffy, cutesy, tiny puppy that girls think are oh-so- adorable. Before learning of the truth of puppy pills & pet stores, my mother was quick to allow me to have one. All of the dogs we purchased from these places over the years had an abundance of health issues, social problems, and there was never the infamous bond between owner and dog. My family always loved the dog we got, just never in the essence of true dog friendship.
After 7-8 years of having one of these pet store puppies, we finally laid our fluffy friend to rest (also known as Buddy). It was truly heartbreaking. It was time to take a break from having pets. We hadn't had much luck in choosing the right one for our family. Years went by, things changed, houses changed, I grew into an adult, but my desire to have a pet just kept growing stronger and stronger.
I researched pets from large breeds to small trying to find that one "perfect" dog for me. Living an apartment can hold a lot of restrictions so I was becoming discouraged in my efforts. One day, I saw a picture on Facebook (of all places) shared by the local Human Society of this ONE puppy, curled up, adorable as could be. My heart sank, I left a comment on the picture asking what breed mix and any information.
The normal work day went on and I couldn't stop thinking about this ONE picture. The foster parent of this puppy 'poked' me on Facebook to let me know she had responded (which somehow I didn't say)...and Oh, am I SO glad she did. I messaged her back and forth.
That very night, she brought over two puppies, Cody & Calvin. My mother adored Calvin but Cody was the one in the picture. I was IN LOVE but did not want to make an irrational decision. The following day was adoption day at the local PetSmart. We were so worried I may lose him if I didn't get there in time. My mother went before me and before I knew it, he was OURS!
He is 64 pounds of crazy. He was absolutely not the 'perfect' dog I was looking for but he is absolutely PERFECT for me. I made a promise to him that no matter what, I would never give up on him. He ended up saving me. Blu is his name now.

7:15 am

7:16 am
washington and hollywood, and it's affectionately known as nerd prom. you can always count on the president to take shots at everyone from the press to his political friends and foes. this year, for his eighth and final year, he showed no mercy. >> you all look great. the end of the republic has never looked better.

7:34 am
divided up perhaps equally amongst the heirs. who are the heirs? we have a sister. we have five half siblings. we may have a grand niece. if there is a grand niece who is then the granddaughter meaning from a brother who's deceased which get to be way too far away, she gets to step up in equal shares. >> and there are children coming out saying that they are -- that they are prince's children. >> well, i bet that we are going to hear from people who will say that they are in fact the love child of prince. now, if you are the love child of prince and you could prove it up -- which probably means dna, that you can show you really are flesh of his flesh, as they say, the winner takes it all. the child gets everything, and the other sibling, half siblings, are wiped out. >> how much money are we talking about? it seems that that is always
7:35 am
changing even after his death. it seems to be growing. >> that's one of the reasons you have an administrator and ultimately have an executor. the job of the administrator or executor is to gather all of the assets which are thought to be $300 million to $500 million, and than administrate them. what does that mean? you've got a vault that they drilled into. you've got catalogs. you have recordings. you have copyright. you have royalties. so what this estate is ultimately worth is going to take years to determine. >> he said he saved his best stuff for later. but he had such a sense of business, it seems. >> yes, he did. >> it seem -- he was advised by people smart about the law. how could he not have a will? >> it is shocking to everyone. there may still be a will. may show up somewhere, as we know in michael jackson's case it showed up later. >> people close to him say that if he had wanted a will, he would have had a will. to charlie's point, it still is
7:36 am
baffling to many people. >> many people do not like to face the fact that they are mortal. and there are lots of people who avoid making a will for whatever their outlook is, that says that they should live forever. not a good move. >> thank you. >> there are going to be beneficiaries, the irs and the lawyers, as a result of this. >> unfortunately that is always so if you do not put it in writing. >> always good to have you here. thank you very much. president obama isn't the only member of the first family thinking about life after the white house. malia obama will attend harvard university. the announcement comes after months of speculation. jan crawford is at the white house with how malia will be following a tradition while setting her own pace. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. so, i don't think it's a huge surprise that malia's going to be going to the same college that her parents attended. it is a little surprising that she's taking a year off first. she won't be starting right away in the fall. now, everyone's wondering how is she going to spend it.
7:37 am
malia obama has spent nearly half her life as first daughter. now she's preparing for a new role, college freshman. before heading to harvard, the obamas' oldest daughter will wait and take a gap year. >> it gives her space between being malia obama the first daughter and malia obama the former first daughter. >> reporter: "washington post" columnist helena andrews-dyer says a year off will also give the 17-year-old an academic break. >> sidwell friends, the school that malia and sasha attend in washington, it's a tough school. a lot of kids are taking gap years just to sort of dial it back. >> reporter: when malia attends harvard in the fall of 2017, she'll be the 23rd presidential child to study at the prestigious university. included are john quincy adams, franklin roosevelt jr., and caroline kennedy. president bush's twin daughters were already in college when he took was. jenna at the university of texas at austin, and barbara at yale.

7:39 am
family. i think it's great that she's taking a year off. when we went to school -- >> went right from high school to college. >> no discussion. >> i think it's great. whether it's for service or a learning experience, do something between high school -- >> historic. i think to be around your parents while they have their final months in office. >> i do, too. congratulations. >> yes. jan, thank you. wild animals discover freedom for the first time after years of abuse. ahead, the grueling and unprecedented effort to reunite the lions in africa after circus raids an ocean away. if you're heading out the door, you can watch us live through the cbs all-access app on your digital device. we know you don't want to miss the first interview with kenneth bay. an american who spent two years in a north korean labor camp. he said it made him better for it. we'll be right back. ahh? yeah, ahh? ahh? ahh? you probably say it a million times a day. ahh? ahh? ahh. but at cigna,

8:07 am
republicans. >> reporter: sure. i think the white house probably has a different grade on the level of extremism in politics now in the trump era than it did looking at john boehner as speaker of the house. that they might accept him as a more acceptable republican, feeling he was a capitalist faction. maybe they don't think that anymore. and john boehner who still wants to be in the mix, who wouldn't want to be in the mix? it came together. was light. it had great tempo, and it was funny. >> to president the president is to follow a big-deal act in terms of someone who knows how to deliver with the timing. how did larry wilmore do? >> reporter: i talked to him about that before the bid. he said every comedian is nervous going up after the president. he said i was at this dinner a year ago. i was sizing up the room. sizing up the moment. he said to me, before he went up, i'm just going to pretend i'm killing it with every single joke and bury on through, which is exactly what he did. >> i'm not sure it played in the

the auto industry is joining the sharing economy. last month, bmw group launched a car-sharing program in seattle with plans to expand to three more u.s. cities this year. general motors and daimler are also experimenting with their own versions. these moves are creating new questions for the industry and drivers. editor-in-chief of "road show" is the auto site of our partners at cnet. good morning. >> good morning. how does this work? >> the basic idea is you need a car for a couple of hours. you take out your smartphone, load up the app. it tells you where the cars are. the phone unalthough locks the car -- unilocks the car for you. and when you're done, you park it, and you're good to go. >> like bicycles. >> but four wheel. bmw will allow many owners in these cities to add their cars to the program. say you're going away for the weekend or know that you're working between 9:00 and 5:00, you can check your car into the service and let others borrow and make a lid money. >> how much does this cost? >> we're looking at about 50

Inspiration |14.08.19
We – like every creative with an internet connection I'm sure – have been greedily following along with the Three Birds Renovations 'House 10' reveals at Karibou HQ, devouring every morsel this dream team has delivered with great anticipation. Instead of tending to my actual to-do list over the weekend, I found myself reading the Peppa Hart 'day in the life' entry over on the Three Birds blog (please tell me I'm not the only one that's a hopeless stickybeak when it comes to a good behind the scenes!).
I'm always intrigued to learn how others manage the work/life/family hustle, and I must admit Sophie's musings about FOMO completely resonated with me as someone who is completely blessed to be able to work from home with a small family. I'd love to hear how other small biz families juggle all their loves, but alas our little old blog doesn't have comment capabilities at the moment (refer to to-do list comment from first paragraph!) – perhaps we could run a Questions session over on Insta Stories and you guys can share all your hustle tips!
But for now, we're going to roll with all the inspiration 'House 10' has us feeling, and share with you guys our fave artwork picks for creating your own 'Mediterranean Farmhouse' vibe.
The undeniable Greek Island vibe of our dreamy Cyclades Collection made it an obvious first stop for us. It checks all the boxes – the minimalist, sun-kissed whites of the rendered facades and relaxed rounded lines of the architectural details that pop against the clear blue skies. These artworks just ooze effortless resort-vibes, don't you think?
View the entire Cyclades Collection here.
2. Kasbah Collection
Our stately Kasbah Collection is Mediterranean, with a decidedly Moroccan focus. You may already be familiar with these artworks if you followed our cameo on Season 12 of Selling Houses Australia, as Shaynna opted to include some of this range for the beautiful Normanhurst facelift.
We've captured all of the magnificence of the bustling Marrakesh Medina – the vibrant and intricately patterned facades set against the dramatic architectural arches, and channelled all of this energy and opulence into a slightly softer, more subdued collection that's perfectly suited to a more relaxed style setting – a la your very own 'Mediterranean Farmhouse'.
View the whole Kasbah Collection here.
3. Bella Vista Collection
And last but certainly not least, ladies and gents – we nominate the Bella Vista Collection! Just get a look at them, sitting there all smug with their casual-cool-Euro-beach-basking-getaway-vibes! If the Bella Vista artworks were a person, we'd be following them on Insta to get our daily fix of #wanderlust, wondering to ourselves how can one person reach such obnoxious extraordinary heights of 'cool'.
And there you have it folks, our top three picks if you – like us, have definitely decided you need a little bit more Mediterranean in your life (and by that, we mean more than just obscene amounts of Feta). Of course we couldn't sign off this post without saying thanks to the brilliant Three Birds x Peppa Hart minds for dreaming up an entirely new sub-set of style for us to swoon over! We'll leave you with this 'Mediterranean Farmhouse' inspired Mood Board straight from our dreams, starring our sunny Cyclades artworks – see what we mean about effortless resort vibes? Pure perfection!
