My sister is organizing the family Christmas gift giving experience again this year. I’m not sure I understand all of the intricate complexities involved but it’s something about everyone indicating a $50 dollar gift that they want and then we draw a name out of a hat, and, you know… Anyway, I’ve come up with a gift, $50 donated to our local animal shelter in the name of Bus Driver Jim.
I spend a lot of time on the roads around here and I encounter a number of lost dogs. Usually they stand in the middle of the road and make eye contact with you. They’re not being dumb, they’re crying out for some human to stop and rescue them from the elements. I would love to throw open my door and let them climb on board, but I can’t obviously. I couldn’t take them home either because I have the queen of the house, cat.
Fortunately, the people around here are dog lovers and I see them pull over to rescue these animals all the time, and take them out to the animal shelter. So, because I can’t stop, and others do, the least I can do is support our shelter.
The gang would love the animal company. You could make it a contest with Karen to see who could pick up the most strays in a month and stray people don’t count…
…and then send them all down to you!
