A little Challenge

I just wanted to throw this out there. I don't even know if I am allowed to or not on this website so if I am not I hope Adina will forgive me.

Most of us on here are Hopeless Doodle Addicts, no matter what our number status is on here. I am almost totally confident that if I was to come to any of your homes, I would be able to find more toys then the average toy store has. (My house literally is overrun with toys) I bet I could find brushes and grooming supplies that have cost so much money that you could feed a shelter or rescue dog for a year with the money you spent on it. I am not saying you shouldn't. Lord, I am not kidding when I say I hide some of Jack's toys when people come over because it is down right embarrassing.

My health is horrible and I am only able to work one day a week, but somehow I always budget in for Jack.

I have started something that I really want to see take off. For Jack's second birthday which is a week from today, I am having a birthday party for him. In lieu of gifts I am accepting money and or food for the local shelter.

What I did not realize is that we right here, some very special doodles are in need. I have to be honest, I never in a million years could have imagined that a doodle would be in need, I mean they are the cutest, sweetest and most loving dogs in all the world right?? HA. who knew.

I have not been on here long so I was not fully aware of the DRC group on here. I just talked to Karen yesterday. I have donated some money to them already, I don't have much, but I spent what I would have spent on an average day taking Jack out to buy him more toys he does not need.

Would you join me in donating something to DRC? Just click on this link and you can see.

Did you know Adina's little Rosco came from there??? I will now be donating all of Jack's christmas, birthday, easter, and holiday present funds to this amazing organization.

Would you join me in wishing my baby a happy birthday by helping another dood in need? I promise Jack is having a huge party, with dog cake, ice cream and lots of fun. We need to make other dood's lives better.

So what do you say, so many of you said you wanted to come to Jack's birthday party. This is a way you can contribute. For each person that contributes because of this post. I will personally send you a little and I do mean little because that is all I can do, token to say thank you for helping other doods.

What do you say? Who is in?

Jennifer, this is a great idea. We donate to DRC each year and sometimes more when a particular doodle is in need like Midnight who needed new hips. Quincy and I actually have a doodle bank where we save our change and send it on when we reach a certain amount. I have been a little lax lately but I will put in some extra in the bank in honour of Jack's birthday so it will get there eventually.

THAT IS SO PRECIOUS!! I think we may end up making one of those as well, Every time I want to go buy Jack a toy I will contribute to that fund instead of another senseless toy!!! Good thing Jack can't read or he would be ticked!! LOL

Also another wonderful Doodle rescue in need is the original International Doodle Owners Group also known as Idog.biz! They have many educational resources available to doodle owners, host annual romps and have rescued so many doodles in need.
