BAKE SALE & RAFFLE BENEFIT FOR DOG, JACK

[lbaker]

My association has agreed to let a rep from the mid-Atlantic Cocker Spaniel Rescue hold this event in our bldg lobby Friday morning. Jack has a broken leg which never healed and was an abandoned dog because the owner said he limped and "would not play with her". The Rescue can have his leg amputated for $500 or repaired for $1000. Selling raffle tickets and baked good towards the repair. Is this a great idea or what Is this a great association I work for or what?

Laurie, Well, I guess that covers both ends of the spectrum. WHY, WHY, WHY EVER do these people bring animals into their lives!!!!! Is there any way I can buy a raffle ticket (or just make a donation) toward Jack's surgery??? I hope so badly that he can keep his leg. Yes, you work for a wonderful organization! Tell them many people they do not know, applaud their efforts! Sandra

I just went to the lobby to check how things were going...we are almost there and there is still almost an hour to go When I went first thing this a.m. for my slew of tickets (and some yummy goodies ) I asked about donations for Jack from people not in the area. I will post the web site after they finish up and find how how we did and yes, you can specify it's for Jack. They were very touched by the support my "friends" from all over have offered. Once again...you all come through. Hugs to you and I'll let you know soon.

Laurie - how wonderful - gosh it makes me feel good to know there are so many wonderful people out there. That's the only consolation we animal lovers can have, believing there are so many more wonderful people than those who are mean and cruel.
