October is Coming!!!

For those of you who don't know it already... there's less than 3 weeks left until OCTOBER!!! Woohoo! For me, October is the true beginning of Fall. A time where boots, sweaters, and chowder are regular daily occurrences. And that is AWESOME!

Luna's First Fall

But what is also awesome about October is... Walk N Wag! Yes that's right, I'm using this blog post to try to squeeze that cow's utter and see if any milk drops into my bucket of charity fundraising. 

I know it probably sounds desperate, and that I'm trying way way WAY too hard, but please, just join my team! I understand times are difficult and you really can't donate a penny, but you can still JOIN the team for FREE. What does this do? This makes you able to raise money yourself! 

Now you can send your link out to family and friends (probably those who like animals) and ask them to donate. They can donate in YOUR name towards our team! So even if you can't donate your own money, maybe you can fundraise, and have the money donated in your name, and your effort.

So this time I'm not asking you to donate (though you can if you'd like), I'm just asking you to take 5 min out of your day to JOIN my team (for free) and send out a mass email to family and friends to donate to the Humane Society.

It truly is a good cause. 

P.S. I know there's about 6 people who read my posts...So I am expecting to get 6 new team mates out of this...No pressure, I'm watching you...

Walk 'n Wag: Human Society

I'm taking a chance! After my last new experience, I wasn't really up for trying new things with Luna. I don't want to have to tell people to control their dog, and I really don't like having to leave early after paying a full day of parking. But I have decided to take a chance! To get out there again! (Wow, I sound like a hermit). 

I have stumbled upon "Wag 'n Walk" that the Humane Society of Silicon Valley puts on. It is a 5K run/walk with activities for dogs (and people) to enjoy afterwards. It looks super fun! People dress up along with their dogs, and it's all for a good cause! Why wouldn't I want to do this? (Oh, maybe because there might be another ignorant dog owner there). But you know what? I'm not going into hiding because people can't control their dogs. I was in the right, and she was in the wrong. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, feel free to read the post that I'm referring to here.

I've already acknowledged that I'm a crazy dog lady, and this event is practically SCREAMING my and Luna's name! So I have signed up and created a team. If you would like to donate or join my team, click here.

I am excited for this event and its great cause. I always tell Drew that one day, we will buy a house with a HUGE backyard (acres and acres) with a barn. And we will adopt and foster all the animals that our house and land can fit! I know I can't save them all, but I can at least dream, right? And I can definitely help by volunteering and donating and more!

Now! Time to think of a great costume for the 2 of us :) Any ideas?
