Thats very good to know... thanks

tks for the effort you put in here I appreciate it!

Dear Ellen,
You make my day. You did so well on the QVC show today, you crack me up. You help me get through my days. I'm having a hard time right now with a car accident situation that I was hurt in and I suffer everyday. I have so many permanenant injuries because of it. But, to watch you dance makes me smile to watch you well, it's just like making me have something to be happy again for. I hope you get plenty of sells on your Halo. Thanks for making me laugh and giving me some helpful tips.
Love ya... Christy

Ellen,
enjoyed your show on QVC, i absolutely adore you.
Here's an idea though, make large size containers, i have 2 ST. Bernards, 1 dauschound & 8 stray cats (i rescued the cats).

Hi Ellen...Three of your MOST loyal fans, who have been trying to come to see you for years and years... and years...(We used to live in NYC and tried many times for those hard-to-get tickets...we missed you in Central Park w/JT, but after hours of waiting at the Time/Warner studio at Columbus Circle, we again, got turned away... for even the NYC/Riff-Raff Room... so, we did get very close...but still no Ellen!) We moved to California, two years ago, just to be closer to our good friend Ellen...(You really do seem like our good friend...it's just the way you make us feel...and you seem to do that, better than anyone else)...We even voted NO on CA/Prop 8...not just for you and Portia, but because it was the right thing to do... we really hope everyone re-thinks this issue... Marriage, and basic human rights should be available to everyone, equally...Anyway...back to my original "rant"...After, carefully, filling out the ticket request page on your website (for well over the 50th time) including the well designed "SPECIAL NEEDS" drop down box...where I clicked on the "VISUALLY IMPAIRED" bar, and finished the form...(there is no bar for "SERVICE DOG" but I presumed that a service dog would be covered by the "SPECIAL NEEDS" designation on your ticket request form). A few weeks later, we had an invitation, by phone, for one of your Vegas shows...riff-raff room "confirmed"... televised studio audience, standby. Justin/Jason/Josh (or one of those twenty-something "J" names) was very nice, and mentioned that he could arrange for confirmed tickets in LA, since he knew we'd be coming from San Diego to Vegas...and that it would be better for us, since we had the service dog. When our tickets arrived, the word "STDBY" was on the top of our letter, but we were not going to complain...we were happy, just to come see you...even in the riff-raff room. Last Monday (12JAN09),when I called to say that our two friends would not be coming, so as to allow for your staff to make the spots available to someone else, I reminded your staff that we would be coming with my wife's service dog. We were greeted by Courtney from your staff when we arrived. She knew who we were, right away, and seemed to be expecting us. We were very pleased until she said that we could not go show...not even the riff-raff room because we had not given two weeks notice for the dog. WE WERE SHOCKED!!! Not only had we given THE ELLEN SHOW two weeks notice, it was well over two months, since I had informed your show of our special needs in your online form! We had discussed the service dog with your staff regarding the Vegas show. I wish I could say that Courtney was sweet about it...but she wasn't...matter-of-fact and uncaring would accurately describe her behavior. Ellen, my wife, Betty, was so disappointed after we were not allowed in... she made your on air "cryathon" over your hairdresser's returned dog, look tame in comparison. By the way, while waiting for Ellen tickets to come through, your website offers tickets to Bonnie Hunt's Show (we do love her too!). Of course, we got those tickets, right away, and we've been to three of her shows in the last few months...While we've been to "0" Ellen shows, after trying for years...(And yes, it will take you years to read this blog...but tuff, you and your not-so-sweet, Courtney, deserve to have to read this long, tortuous, rant!!!). Bonnie and ALL of her staff could not have been more gracious...they all loved Lucy... and there was no mention of two week notice, ever...(Bonnie's show uses the same or similar online form for tickets). Ellen, you are the last person that I thought would ever turn away a dog (otherwise known as a little person in a furry suit AND your most loyal fan)...I must tell you that the Amercans with Disabilities Act, allows Lucy to go with my wife anywhere, even the Ellen show...the law allows it. So, we must conclude that you need the two weeks to make things extra special for us. Maybe you need that extra time to reconstruct the "Mom's Special Box Throne/Chair" (that your mom wouldn't sit in)...but was available for "special guests"...that would be nice... Really Ellen, this is more of a genltle reminder that we still love you, (but NOT that "Evil Courney")... and that we'll be there to FINALLY see you on February 9th with great expectations...and, hopefully, just a friendly "HELLO" from you...and who knows, maybe we'll bring our "other" good fiend (you know, other than you)...George (Clooney), when we come...XOXOX...Ric, Betty, and Lucy...your VERY loyal fans.

Please comment regarding Halo:
Commercial dog food contains dead pets, mostly euthanized cats and dogs!

The city of Los Angeles alone, sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats and dogs to a pet food plant every month.
As for what is listed as "lamb" or "chicken", the AAFCO allows the rendering plant to call whatever the dominant amount of animal is in that run. Say, for example, that 20% of a run consisted of lamb parts, 15% chicken parts, 15% beef parts, 15% cat and dog carcasses, 15% grocery store refuse, 10% roadkill and 10% waste kitchen grease, that run can be legitimately called "lamb".

... things like flea collars, metal tags, plastic bags, pesticide ear tags from cattle, and the Styrofoam and wrappings from bad grocery store meat all get thrown into the grinder. This is also not to mention the quantities of Sodium Phenobarbital in the bodies of euthanized animals.

The true horror is the drug used to kill these stray and abandoned animals, Sodium Pentobarbital, is not broken down by the manufacturing process and is still present in active form in your dog's food!!

And dog food companies don't stop with pets, your dog is also eating euthanized animals from zoos, animal control and putrid, decaying road kill.

Hey Ellen,
Just wanted to say you totally make my day! Thank you for being you and bringing so much happiness to the world:)

I saw you were going to be on QVC this week and although still psyched, I am sad that the taping is in California. I live pretty close to the studios in PA and was hoping it would be here with a chance to be in the audience. My daughter and I have wanted to go to see your show for the longest time but aren't able to go to California. Please come to PA soon:)
My mini doxies Slinky and Honey said they'll be watching you this weekend too and look forward to bugging me to buy Halo food
All the Best!
Julie

Ellen,
I love your show. You have helped me through some horrible times. I get so engrossed in your watching you that whatever pain I'm in it goes away until an ad comes on. You need to have a Ellen marathon.

I would love to meet you and all your pets.

Thank you so much for making us laugh and being a great animal advocate.
