'The sofas look better with dogs on them': A holiday in Puerto Rico inspired celebrity florist NIKKI TIBBLES to ... - Daily Mail

She kept trying to chew her stump, so she had to wear a protective collar for ages.’15 years ago, florist Nikki Tibbles went on a life-changing holiday to Puerto Rico. She met Neva Kaya, the founder of the charity Puerto Rico Dog Fund, and was inspired to helpWhat happens when Nikki takes them for a walk? ‘If I have two or three it’s easy, but not all six together as they become a proper pack. It can be difficult in Hyde Park. It’s easier when we take some to my house in West Sussex; they rotate.’ But they have no problem fitting on her bed. We troop up three flights of stairs, past paintings of – you guessed it – dogs and roses, to her gorgeous master bedroom. The dogs pile on, like a hirsute, mainly ginger jigsaw.But nothing else seems to fit. Nikki, who won’t reveal her age, shows off earlobes studded with jewels and a sweater with a dog embroidered on it. How does she marry her love of beautiful things with, let’s be honest, a motley crew of Muttleys? ‘My dogs are my home. I’m not precious. The sofas look better with dogs on them than they do without.’ (For the record, the house smells of Diptyque’s Baies and Wild at Heart’s Lait de Figue.)It’s clear that this dynamic, well-connected owner of fashionable florist Wild at Heart, who did the flowers for the weddings of Poppy Delevingne, Guy Ritchie (‘we grew all the flowers in his garden for that’), Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild – in fact, anyone posh you care to throw a tulip at – is an animal nut. Nikki may give the impression of floating through a charmed life – the silk pyjamas, the flower portraits (she supports two wonderful organisations: Intoart and KCAT in Kilkenny, Ireland; both work with people with learning disabilities) – but like her bouquets, there are woody stems beneath the surface. She grew up in Bristol. Her father was a carpenter who had been a prisoner of war in the Second World War, her mother a hairdresser. They both ‘worked hard to put me through a convent school until I was 18.Determined to stem the rising population of 600 million street dogs worldwide, Nikki co-launched the Wild at Heart Foundation (WAHF) in 2015‘So it was just me, really. And a houseful of animals. We had a boxer dog who had been given to my dad, which is why I love houndy types. At one point, we had five dogs at home. My parents would wake up to find me downstairs, sleeping in the dog beds. My dad was amazing: he would bring home a bird with a broken wing, rabbits, cats…’Nikki ... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-5285235/How-NIKKI-TIBBLES-launched-global-dog-rescue-charity.html

Roses & Raspberries: Flowers for those who help - Santa Maria Times

Hurricane Harvey. We saw it when Hurricane Irma raked across Florida, inflicting pain and suffering. We saw it again when Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico.People are at their best when facing the worst situations. Bravo, and roses to everyone.The Thomas fire also has stretched thin the ability of local charities to get clothes and food to families during the holiday season.So, roses to everyone who can contribute to the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, which is the central distributor to more than 300 charitable agencies countywide.Roses and a vigorous thumbs up to the Santa Maria Humane Society for thinking of their “guests” this holiday season.The Thomas fire has left many pets homeless, and a lot of them showed up at the Santa Maria Human Society facility, whose staff hopes to "clear the shelter" before Christmas by placing each of the shelter's cats and dogs into permanent homes.The shelter was full at mid-week, but you can become a dog or cat’s hero by visiting the shelter up until 3 p.m. Sunday, and take home a new friend without charge. The Humane Society has waived the usual adoption fees.What do you say to a trip to 1687 W. Stowell Road? Pick a pet — or two — and earn a roseAs a matter of fact, roses to every person who has helped make this very difficult holiday season on the Central Coast more enjoyable for folks affected by the Thomas fire, many of whom lost everything but their lives in the blaze. And a special bouquet to local organizations that have helped those helpers in their quest to improve the season for those who have suffered near-catastrophic losses.We are nearing the end of what has been a very trying year for so many Americans — and so many of our neighbors here on the Central Coast — but it is truly gratifying to know we always have each other’s backs. http://santamariatimes.com/opinion/editorial/roses-raspberries-flowers-for-those-who-help/article_de9169e3-6104-5f14-8588-28344d755843.html
