316 mill. How would you spend it?

[Corinna]

You guys are great!! Randi where did you find that cat shelter it's fabulous!!!! Our purries would LOVE that playhouse.

[Aspen and Misty]

I would go and visit the Monks who own the german shepards and who are well known for training dogs and I would live there with them and get help from them for Chewy. I would make a no-kill shelter and then an extremly large pitt bull rescue. I would also buy all the books on training dogs and behaviors in dogs and study up on that and then become a Behaviorist and help dogs like Chewy.

Corinne, the shelter is situated north of Copenhagen, about 2 hours drive I think. Unfortunately, Fister hasn't been there while we've been on vacation, because we don't have a car.

Here's a link with more pics - if you click on any text with the word "Billede" you'll see more pics.

Thanks for the link Randi That is just an awsome place.Is it a shelter or boarding place.I have seen one not nearly as nice in Washington state. It is a boarding kennel, dogs are in an other side of the property. Gal does dogs horses and cats. on 50 acres it's agreat place.

I think I would:
- have my current house fixed like new,
- get a new truck,
- maybe get an RV,
- pay-off the lease on my fiancee's car,
- donate money to local shelters and vets,
- donate money to my favorite race track (Talladega Gran Prix, in Alabama)
- sponsor the motorcycle roadracing group that I am a member, or the race school I took, or both
- donate money to schools I attended,
- have some places named after my parents and grandparents

Those aren't really in any order, just when they came to mind.

I would go back to school, send Dan back to college and pay for my siblings college and Dylans college tuition....and my future childrens tuition as well.

I would buy Dylan a library! Filled with the best childrens books ever written!

I would start my HUGE exotic animal and wildlife rehab that I have always wanted. Have a small one now, but I want a HUGE one, with about 7,000 acres of land! I would have the best exhibits and enclosures and breed endangered species.

I would find Lucy a mate. He is an endangered California Desert Tortoise, and I would breed to make sure they are always here on this earth. I would get my CITES permit to breed moutain lion and Servals, as well as fishers and the endangered black footed ferret.

I would build my own house, on MY land, where the santuary would be, and build my family a house next door. I would also have another house for friends to stay in while they are visiting.
I would move my dad in with me so he could move out of his crappy trailor that's the size of our bedroom! I would pay for all his medication and neccesary surgeries.

I would round up homeless and feral animals and have them all altered/vaccinated and find them loving, forever homes!

I of course would build my veterinary and mobile veterinary clinic as well, so I can search the streets of Los Angeles, and treat all the throw a way animals there.

I would buy a skunk, again. This time I would buy a chocolate or platinum one. All my pets would have everything they need, as well as their own rooms! My rattery would be stupendous, with each rat having 600 square feet each! They would have all the yogurt drops they could ask for, as well as the best vet care and everything!

I would take Mytic to have his belly button hernia fixed. Not that it's a problem, but maybe he would feel more comfortable with it fixed.

I would get my license, learn how to drive and buy a new car. A mobile home so I can travel the world. I would mostly spend it on my pets though, and family. That's more fun!

Man, now that I think of it....I would be quite busy indeed, but busy and happy. No more bills etc!

Oh yes and I would stick about 5 million in the bank so I can gain tons of interest!

[luckies4me]

Oh yes and one more thing I have always wanted to do. There was one more thing but I forgot what it was.......

I would want to build a homeless shelter, for people who have pets. When I was young I used to help the homeless, and I remember this lady , her name was Cookie. She used to be a model and was very pretty. Then someone hit her and she ended up in a wheel chair and on the streets, with her son and their dog. We took them shopping and bought them all new clothes and took them to a nice restraunt to eat, got them new shoes and sanitary supplies. We bought them a hotel for a whole week.

When they went up to the hotel the were crying to bad because they had to leave their dog outside. No hotel would let the dog in. It was so sad, because that dog was the only company they had, he was their family. I was only nine at the time, but I will always remember that day, when they had to leave their poor homeless pooch outside, just so they could have one week of shelter and a nice warm shower.

[Cincy'sMom]

My dream is to build a doggie mall/rescue...it would be a "strip mall" with all pet supply stores, bakeries, vets, groomers, boarding etc. The back would be a acres and acres of Dog Park w/ a lake. There would also be a dog rescue.

Great ideas and wishes ; WOW !!

BUT , I have to agree with something Randi said : I would give anything for a perfect health !!

[luckies4me]

Me tooo!!!!

[Kfamr]

right now, i'd hire someone to kill me.

[Desert Arabian]

If I were old enough to win it in the first place, and if I recovered from my heartattack...I think I'd buy a nice little house on a huge chunk of land and rescue abused horses (maybe dogs too). Of course, I'd have to get me a lot of yellow Labs too. I would open up my fancy dog boarding kennel, which I have always dreamed about, and donate some of the money to the ASPCA and local humane societies.

[NoahsMommy]

I have so often said that if I ever won/earned/inherited a ton of money, I would hurry and finish school (yay! FULL TIME!!! ) and then spend my time doing something that I wanted to do. Working with children, getting laws passed for their welfare, work towards sterilization for woman who give birth to "crack babies", spend time in animal rescue, really making a difference. I know 316 million wouldn't pay for all of that, but it would allow me to spend the time I wanted on this stuff.

God willing, I can do this without 316 million, but that sure would help!!!

Are you OK? Those are some really serious statements you are making. What's wrong? Do you need someone to chat with???

Oh no, don't do that or even think about it. What is wrong? I know people can feel depressed and I have been there myself but I wouldn't never think about death. WHy would you want to throw away life and miss all it has to offer?

If you need someone to talk to, I am here. Just ask and I am sure people here would love to help. We would sincerely miss you if you were gone. And how would your poor pup feel?
