Internet Hoax:Golden Retriever Puppies
The last few weeks GRREAT has been inundated with e-mails from members and others forwarding a message about Golden Retriever puppies about to be euthanized if someone doesn't help them. There is no indication of the date the original note was sent or where these puppies are located. It just includes the name "Mrs. Gaëlle Wenger" and a hotmail address. Unfortunately, this e-mail--and others like it--has been making the rounds for years. I did a search on the Internet and found references to the same exact e-mail as early as 2003. So if someone sends you this e-mail, please, don't forward it to anyone and pass this information back to the person who sent it to you. An article describing a number of hoaxes involving puppies about to be put down can be found at the Urban Legends Reference Pages.

Ryan...(bro)... I know that I am your favorite, but you are forgetting about me. You have everyone's blog link posted, but mine. I know that mine isn't very interesting, but I do put pictures of your favorite nephew ever on there. Plus, if I am your favorite, mine should be up there. And now I notice that you have Conner's blog link up. How do I rate? :)
