That's what I was wondering, too. I know NOTHING about running a website, hosting cost, bandwidth, etc. So, is it somehow cheaper if more people go to the website? Or is it just that you hope with more people coming to visit, more might donate?

I'm just curious, I'll send a donation either way.

The more people that visit the better, as the ads gets more views, etc., which helps. And the more people that visit, the more that might nominate their pet, and the more smiles we can give them every day.

Thanks everyone who is donating! I do send individual notes as well, but wanted to send a public thanks!

Sorry I'm just seeing this, Karen. I'll get a check in the mail as soon as I can. I'll also try to pass the good word about the site to my friends.

Let's keep this site going!!!!

Thanks to whomever sent the money order donation! There was no identifying name, just a cryptic return address, so thank you!

Hi, Karen - I'm putting a check in the mail to you as a memorial for Phred, my brother. After following the site since his death, I can see why it was such an important community for him to be a part of. Thank you to all who contributed to helping him during the past years of his life - he did find a mission and a "cause" that had great meaning and importance for him. You all were very special to him and, for that, I am truly thankful. I hope my small contribution can help the community keep going!!!

Yours, Mom1 (aka Nancy)

Nancy,
What a lovely thing to do.
Phred was such a fantastic influence, I only wish I had met him in person, and not just online.

Take care
Michelle from Australia

Nancy what a beautiful thing to do

Karen, how is the fund raiser doing?

**Karen** · 02-17-2011, 10:19 PM

Thanks, everyone. More than 60 people have donated, including some very generous donations, all of which, big and small, were much appreciated. We also love receiving the little notes and cards from people who visit dog, cat or petoftheday.com every day, as well as Pet Talk members we know well, and people who just say "thanks for the website," without specifying. All the support means a lot to Paul and I, as do all of you.

Hugs to everyone!

Karen
