Doing Our Part

Remember when I had a little broken dog who needed really expensive surgery and everyone came together and raised $5,000 so her spine could maybe-be-fixed-kinda-fingers-crossed? Hard to believe that was only 3 weeks ago.  Remember last week, when a hurricane named Sandy made a pit stop on the east coast and tossed around some cars/trees/boats/houses into other cars/trees/boats/houses?  Well, Roo and I sat down and had a little chat.  Since she is doing so much better (Walking! Falling a lot, but walking!!!!), she figured a portion of the money people raised for her, should really go to help some of the other dogs (and their people) affected by the hurricane.

We know that there isn't one perfect site to throw money at, so we are doing a variety of charities:

NYC Food Bank

Bidawee Animal Shelter

Amazon Hurricane Registry

We have also brought down bags of food, batteries etc to: The Drink.  They have organized some pretty great sandwich and supply distribution to parts of NYC in dire need, as well as being an easy place to drop off donations.

Ok, now back to our little helper!

She is getting stronger everyday and LOVES playing with her toys. Hardwood floors and stairs are still the enemy, but she has broken every stuffed neck in the place.

And after a long day of snapping spines (nope, that's not lost on me), she is out like a light.
