You Know You Want to Click...(Please Vote for Pumkin!)

Hi everyone,

Some of you may remember my foster girl, Pumkin entered my life. She was found as a scared, neglected girl tied to a tire in Louisiana. A rescue I foster for flew her up here and and I was fortunate enough to foster her. In addition to an array of other health problem, she tested positive for heartworm, but we thought it was mild. However, further tested indicated that she was too far gone and the worms had actually travelled to many of her organs. In addition, a pin in her leg (which we can only assume was intended to fix a leg that had been broken in the past) was protruding and actually poking her. While this problem could have been fixed by surgery, she was not strong enough to undergo the anesthetic and we all felt it was inhumane to make her suffer any longer. Consequently, she was sent to the Bridge where she can run and play in perfect health on June 17th, 2006.

Even though Pumkin didn't make it, the cost to ship her up here and all of her tests were very expensive. In an attempt to try to raise some funds for the rescue who gave her the chance to experience love, I entered my three pups (Mocha, Panna, and Cannelle) in a Patriotic Pets Photo Contest (the grand prize is $500). However, they're losing miserably which is why I need YOU (think Uncle Sam...it is a Patriotic Photo contest after all) to PLEASE take a minute to vote and send this to your friends and family. I would be eternally grateful to you. They ask you for your e-mail to verify the vote, however nobody else I know who has voted has received any junk mail at all so don't worry.

The picture's here and it's the first picture in the forth row (Mocha, Panna, and Cannelle). Voting ends in just under two weeks on Thursday, July 27th.

If you could please, please do this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks SO much!

P.S. You can vote more than once with different e-mails, if you feel so inclined... :p

Thank you! Just to clarify though, I didn't pay for Pumkin's bills and shipping costs myself. The rescue covered everything, I was just her foster home. I just wanted to raise some money for them to help cover the costs and that means that ultimately, they'll be able to save more dogs.

Mocha, Panna, and Cannelle would just like to say...
