Trixie is Still Waiting for Her Turn To Be Loved

Trixie has been waiting four months in Texas for her turn to travel north, and she is still waiting. The 2-year-old, 22-pound dog was found as a stray, and her story carries the kind of heartbreak that Small Dog Rescue of New England says happens far too often. Trixie had a litter of puppies, but rescuers could not find them. Sometimes, the organization explains, people take the puppies to sell and then abandon the mother.

DIY Gingerbread Kits Help Families in Need

Even though they came from cookie-cutters, these gingerbread men and women are not all the same. This is the seventeenth year that the Ellie’s team has worked with the Miriam Hospital to produce the Warm-A-Heart Gingerbread-decorating kits to benefit families in need. Each $10 kit comes with a gingerbread man or woman baked that same day at Ellie’s, as well as individual packets of gum drops, red and green sprinkles, chocolate chips, mini-M&Ms, a tube of icing and more – all assembled in an adorable gift box with a gingerbread ribbon. They make a great gift that gives back, and it’s a fun activity for kids, friends and families to do together. In the end, each gingerbread man and woman will be unique, just like the people who decorate them, and just like the people they will be helping this holiday season.
