Sandy: 12/29 - Preparing you for the New Year!

Hi there, to help everyone get through the new year, I put together a Sandy calendar.  Now, Sandy is actually a Greyhound male model, did you know that?  Professionally, he goes by the name Derek ZooSander.  I asked him why he became a male Greyhound model and he said "Well I guess it all started the first time I learned about second breakfasts. I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating your cereal, and I remember thinking 'wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career.'"

Here he is, each month with one of his completely different, unique, signature looks:

January - Der Brindle

February - Hound Lights

March - Grey Skies

April - 50 Shades of Grey

May - Deer Chaser


June - Roo Paul
July - Mugatu

August - Matilda

September - Hansel
(He's so hot right now!)

October - Le Tigre

November -Blue Steel

December - Magnum



So, there you go, an entire year of Sandy.  He's pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking and he plans on finding out what that is.
I'll keep you all posted on his progress as he learns to turn left.  You can keep up with Sandy by eugoogle-izing "Sandy isn't an ambi-turner."  Coming soon, pics of his modeling tour in Malaysia, where he reunites with his buddy the Prime Minister!

You know, if you want to help Sandy find out there is more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking or you just want this handsome feller with all this depth and range, he IS looking for a home, not for just one measly year, but forever!  I'm sure he can help your home look good and do other stuff good, too!
