Still sending thoughts and prayers to the people down in Texas and other states who are dealing with the storm. I heard on the news this morning that you can send a text with a special code to the Red Cross of Chicagoland to make a $10 donation. I've never done that before and I don't know exactly how it works. The reporter said they were also accepting donations by mail and on line.

I did get an e-mail from a friend who works with a local shelter. They are getting ready to accept animals from another shelter who is getting ready to accept animals from Texas. So the local shelter is looking for donations of food, cat litter, blankets, carriers, plus foster homes and adopters.
