A Friend Needs Your Help: My friend Darcy is coming to the end of a stint doing some basic live-in training of a Paws with a Cause dog -- namely Helix, a daffy but loveable black lab. Helix will be moving on to the next phase of training, so as a going away present we need to have Helix named as Pet of the Month at Petendipty.com.

So here's what you do. Click this link. Select Helix (down at the very bottom of the photos). And click submit.

You must do this. If you don't, Helix will be sad. And being responsible for a black lab crying is about a low as you can go in this world. Do it.
