Dear pet people, please help us!

[Karen]

the person I was expecting to reply.. hehe.. is there a way that you can make a link button or something that we can add to our facebooks..I certainly have a few pet lover people there.. or just posting the link would do?

You can post the link, or can use the graphic at the top of the page
or use one of the daily pet icons to post on Facebook ....

Karen,

Do you have a Paypal acct?? I'll be able to send you something on the 3rd of Nov. Hope that's okay.

I don't know what I'd do without Pet Talk!!!! Being without PT and all the wonderful people on it is like being without AIR!!!!!

[Karen]

Yes, we do! On the donation page is our Paypal info. Thanks!

And thanks everyone, every bit helps.

Hmm, on the topic of links:
Karen, perhaps adding a AddThis button to the fundraiser page, or to PetOfTheDay itself, would help things?
http://addthis.com/

[Karen]

I think we will soon do a survey, and we will add coffee mugs to the list of things people might want to buy sometime in the future.

Thanks for the links, Reggie/Hellow. Thanks for your regular link on your blog post, too. Just so everyone else knows, even if no one clicks on any of your links to us, Google and Bing will find it, and it counts as a point in our favor. Direct links work best, as bit.ly links might not count, just FYI.

We had not heard of Addthis.com - thanks for that link. Maybe we will try it, or maybe we will make our own ""addthis"-like button.

I was thinking...at dinner I was talking to my husband about what the SPCA in Baltimore does every October, it's called Shop A Paw Looza, and it's a month long auction of donated items. Could something like that work? We could all pitch in new or handmade items, art, as well as possible gift cards to stores and bid on them for a certain amount of time giving all the proceeds to Pet Talk? Just a thought...

That's a very good idea, it's like our local PBS tv stations auction, but online. Paul fondly remembers getting the Sesame Street record from the auction several years in a row. Now there are kids who don't even know what a record is!

I like this idea. Maybe something on Ebay would work too?

I don't have the funds at the moment and I'm afraid I won't till Dec. most likely. But I will donate something then if that would be ok.

If you do start selling coffee mugs, please make them really big! So often they are too small for that first cup of the day. Big ones- sign me up for 4!

I try to catch the pets on your site every morning because no matter how tough a day it is or is going to be, all of those little sweethearts make me smile! Will post a link to Pet of the Day on my facebook page.

Thank you.

[Karen]

Thanks, everyone!

Have coffee, need mug! Karen, for donations via Paypal are you able to see who the sender is?

[Karen]

Yes, we are, and so I send thank you notes to everyone as we receive the donations.

Done

Sorry I only saw this TODAY - been CHAOS here at work ...

[Karen]

That's okay, there's no deadline! Thanks everyone, we do appreciate it, and it all helps!
