Abe Lincoln – Our Most Beloved President

In his July 27, 1848 speech to the U.S. House of Representatives, Abraham Lincoln stated: “You violated the primary, the cardinal, the one great living principle of all Democratic representative government—the principle, that the representative is bound to carry out the known will of his constituents .” I read this quote to our commissioners but President Lincoln’s patriotic words had no effect on the majority of our commissioners. Abraham Lincoln also showed compassion for animals.

For those of us who are Christians: Proverbs Chapter 31, Verse 8 reads: “Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.” This means speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Another one of my favorites is “Every creature of God is good.” Matthew 5:7 says “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”

Personal Touch Pet Grooming – 3980 Ann Arbor Road, Jackson, MI, 49202, 764-5105.
I was very nervous about taking one of our dogs to a groomer for her first time—her coat had changed texture and gotten matted in some areas and I couldn’t get the tangles out. She is a “special needs” dog with health issues including severe allergies and seizures and lots of stress can bring on seizures even though she is on medication. Wendy did a wonderful job of talking gently to her throughout the visit as I waited in the waiting area! Not only did our dog not seizure, she came out looking like Miss America!! Personal Touch is just up the street from the Michigan Avenue Meijers—Michigan Avenue becomes Ann Arbor Road. She is usually closed on Wednesdays—call for an appointment!!
