This is truly an amazing day for Jeanne Armonk.  Jeannearmonk09 just reached 200 followers on her www. web page.  Just amazing!twitter.com/jeannearmonk09

I wish to thank again all of my followers for the follows.  I attempt to tweet and retweet items of interest regarding my work and the work of others.  Such work includes animal welfare, entertainment, entrepreneurship, films, food, hobbies, and music.

I know, that is quite a few categories.  However, with 365 days per year with many waking hours among them, I feel it is important to tweet highlights as I come across them.  For instance, Petfinder's huge effort to assist adoptable pets get adopted with this past Tuesday's, March 15th's Adopt An Internet Day.  Listed on my site here and on Petfinder.com are many blogs that supported the effort by pledging to tell people about adoptable pets found on the Internet, adding Petfinder Badges to their websites, and posting to their own blogs in support of adoptable pets.

I also put a photo of 3 adoptable dogs from our local Humane Society of Wilkes who are in foster care on my Facebook page.  This was in follow-up to instructions found on the Petfinder.com site as a means to make more people aware of potential pets waiting for adoption.  Many of these animals hoping to be adopted before their time runs out i.e. being housed in a kill shelter that has more animals than it can support. 

Again, I found two wonderful shepherds via the Petfinder site in 2001 and 2002.  Now, 8 or 9 years later, I hope that many thousands of animals were rescued and adopted into a loving home.  I am a firm believer in spay / neuter clinics and my current dog Red has been neutered since a puppy.  He had the potential to be very aggressive, a chow / rotti cross, however, I believe that neutering him young has lead him to be very friendly with people.  He is now 10 years old, and except for some arthritis, he has been very healthy through the past 10 years.

Red was a stray that I took into my heart and then into my home.  He knew both of my Petfinder.com pets.  In fact, he made a 2 hour ride with me to adopt one of them.  So, I encourage as many of you as can, to support Petfinder.com's efforts to put people in touch with adoptable pets.  It is a user friendly site where one's zip code can branch out from nearby to far away if you are looking for a certain pet to meet your criteria.  Whether young or old, cat or dog, or turtle, there are many animals waiting for you to discover them.

Many of my tweet's are in support of animal rescue efforts.  In addition, living here in North Carolina for a few years, I have found many area attractions about which to tweet , especially the upcoming Merlefest 2011 and the Historic North Wilkesboro Speedway races.

As with many things, timing is everything as I discovered today.  I have recently begun following Kevin Costner & Modern West on Twitter.com.  In fact, they followed jeannearmonk09 first.  Well, I found out when I signed on to my Twitter page today that I was about an hour too late for a special live broadcast at 1pm that Modern West held on the Internet due to having reached 2000 followers on their Twitter site, modernwest.  My hopes is that they will hold another one when they reach 3000 followers.

Again, thank you for all your follows.  I hope that my site will remain both informative and interesting.
