I haven't posted much in the past year but I really needed to share this.

OK so a couple of weekends ago we are watching Extream Home Make over and they were fixing the house of a little girl that has some blood disorder and does a lot of fund raising for cancer research. I guess she does pretty good with her venture and that is wonderful. So my daughter says to me I wish I could raise money like that but for the animals. So I say to her what do you think you could do? She says we could make dog cookies and sell them.

I think well that's a wonderful idea, not hard and there are plenty of people that would buy a dog cookie for their pet right? So I then ask her who would you donate your money to. She says the CT Humane Society and wanted to pick another place as well so she could help both places. Her other choice is Animal Friends of CT. Next Question to her is What is your goal, how much to you want to try to make? She being slightly ambitious says $500. OK so I now know we have alot of work on our hands.

I go to SAMS club and buy the thing we need to make Peanut butter dog cookies which she has named Puppy Love Cookies great name. We make the cookies set up a table in front of one of the local Grocery Stores here (with their permission) and she earns $134 by sitting there for a couple of hours. She is also going to be making more to put at a local kennel that said they would sell them for her and collect the money. (A friend of mine works there so I have no fear that they will rip her off).

Sorry it's long, I'm just so proud of her.

Thanks guys. And she is only 10. She was very cute and wrote an email to one of the local radio stations. He put her on his blog and told his listeners all about her project, she then brought him some of her Cookies. She thought that was pretty cool.

Thanks Guys! We changed groups to two groups that do not get corporate funding. Her money is going to Our Companion Domestic Animal Santuary and Protectors of Animals. She is up to almost $600 and has decided to go to $1000 so she can give each group $500. We've set up a Fan Page on Facebook if anyone wants to become her fan. It's Puppy Love Cookies. Let me tell you it's been alot of cookies so far but it's so worth it.

Tabby has reached her goal of $1000 and we have donated the money to both groups. Yesterday she was interviewed on a show called Better Connecticut. Here is a link to the interview if anyone would like to see it.

For information about the groups she gave the money to you can check out her fan page on face book. Puppy Love Cookies.

Just an update. My daughter has offically donated $1500. $1000 went to Protectors of Animals and $500 to Our Companions Animal Sanctuary. I can't stop gushing about how proud I am of her.
