Our own little girl Poppy has put on her best "Please, Please, Please!" face for this post. She was playing with some scraps of paper the other day and Ed laughed about how easily she was entertained, "Life is a toy!" he said. He is right. <\/p>\n
Happy, healthy dogs and cats do think that life is a toy and they have great fun playing with their people and other creatures. So, Duchess Poppy is asking that you take some of the money you would spend on dog toys as holiday gifts and give a little to the people who help animals less fortunate than she happens to be. <\/p>\n
\n That's Toto the Tornado Kitten<\/a> under the Christmas tree. He's made a career of fundraising for the Animal Rescue League of Boston. They saved his life and found a perfect home for him. We wrote about Toto last summer.<\/a><\/p>\n \n We met Toby at an MSPCA event this year.<\/a> Now tell me, can you resist those eyes and his request that you support his favorite animal welfare cause?<\/p>\n You may have your own favorite animal charity. Perhaps it's the rescue group or shelter that brought a wonderful companion into your life. We have a lot of friends who support Greyhound rescue groups. Over the years, we've been helped by a great non-profit called WestieMed when we've had rescued Westies in our care. We think of them when we have occasions to give a donation. <\/p>\n Here are the direct links to the donations pages of three options.<\/p>\n WestieMed<\/a><\/p>\n The MSPCA<\/a><\/p>\n ARLBoston<\/a><\/p>\n We will be giving in the names of our three girls \u2013 two gone but not forgotten, Sassy and Maggie Mae \u2013 and our dear, little puppy Poppy!<\/p>\n Do you have an Amazon Gift Certificate to use?
