He's starting to slim up now, and he's looking healthier and more preportioned.andalenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-2436868164531007392012-12-08T19:27:30.927-07:002012-12-08T19:27:30.927-07:00Thanks so much for this giveaway!

This year, I donated 5 or 6 new fleece blankets and one clean, but used. I also gave about $150 dollars in supplies using my Staples Rewards. I would donate time, but I'd want to take all the animals home with me and I already have 3 cats (2 from that shelter).Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747079254596095418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-9857616683750537472012-12-06T09:57:27.151-07:002012-12-06T09:57:27.151-07:00I still support the dogs they train to help blind ...I still support the dogs they train to help blind people here in Holland. You can adopt a puppy each year, and get monthly updates on how he/she is doing in puppyschool, until they are ready to go to their new owner. The small fee you pay each month, help with the costs of training and supplies and everything.I really don't know how people can do that, have a puppy for one year, and than give it up to go to real dog training for the next year. I would never give him back! So adoption from afar works for me. (And my allergies).<br />And I've bought some (secondhand) zebrafinches, whom I love very much, but drive my boyfriend insane with their chatter.
