Hello Photoforum Members,
When I held the recent books for pets' toys auction
I'd promised I would put up a web site showing the fruits of your
generosity. I've tried - believe me. (As soon as I remove the
sledgehammer from the my monitor, I may try again.) I haven't been
successful at building that site.
Please know that everyone at the animal sanctuary
was very pleased and grateful for your generosity. I collected over
$200.00 (actually $400.00 - explanation below).
Among the purchases were big, carpeted
scratching posts for each of the cat's rooms (5 rooms in total, housing
about 200 cats in total) and these quickly became favorites of the
cats.
Each dog got his or her own chew treat and
toy. They also got several "community toys" (things to fetch and
chase)they have to share.
I went to Wal Mart and asked if they would match my
donations if I purchased all the animal toys at their store and they agreed to
do this. With the $200.00 they contributed we were able to buy some
grooming items and some new, warm and cuddly bedding for the
animals.
I wish I were bright enough to post a site of the
photographs of all the grins, giggles, meows and barking upon the delivery
of the toys, but for now you'll have to take my word for it.
Thank you all, from all the warm and fuzzy hearts
at CARE.
Marilyn
