Denver Dumb Friends League Annual Telethon

First of all, we would like to thank effuryone for all of the e-mail and snail mail Christmas/Holiday greetings! We really enjoyed and appreciate effuryone's thoughts and kindness. We also hope that effuryone has received their cards from us by now and hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! :)

Second, the 14th annual Denver Dumb Friends League Pledges for Pets Telethon will be airing this year on January 29 from noon to 5pm on Fox31 (in the Denver area). The telethon helps raise funds for Denver Dumb Friends League to help support homeless pets, reunite lost pets with their owners, investigate claims of animal cruelty, and create community pet education programs. The program will not only feature kittens, cats, puppies, dogs, and other small animals available for adoption, it will also include information about pet nutrition and give you a tour of the Quebec street shelter as well.

I don't know what the minimum monthly donation accepted will be this year. However, when I was watching the telethon a few years ago, the minimum monthly donation accepted was $5, so that nearly everyone who wished to donate, could. You can also make the donation in memory of a pet who has gone on to the Rainbow Bridge, which I feel is a really nice sentiment.

If you are interested in making a donation to the Dumb Friends League and will not be able to tune in to the telethon, you can also make a donation on-line here.

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Bracelet

Hello everyone!

I am feeling better, and I have some news.

I made a bright orange bracelet that is intended to raise awareness and help prevent cruelty to animals. You can purchase this bracelet for $3.50 (which includes the shipping charge) on my blog Bead Paradise at: www.beadparadise.blogspot.com. I will donate $1.00 of each bracelet purchase to the ASPCA.

Please hop over and take a look, and please tell all of your human and kitty friends about this bracelet! Thanks so much!

New items in Bead Paradise

Bead Paradise has been updated with a couple of new items.

As always, $1.00 of each sale will go to the ASPCA, an organization that aids homeless cats and dogs.

Beaded bracelets now help homeless cats!

I am starting a bead bracelet selling business, which may sound like nothing out-of-the-ordinary, except that $1.00 of every purchase will go directly to the ASPCA, an organization that helps homeless cats and dogs.

I'm very excited to be starting this business and to be donating to such a worthy cause!

I encourage you to check out my selling blog at: http://www.beadparadise.blogspot.com/ often as I will add new items regularly!

Please tell all of your cat-loving friends about Bead Paradise and the great cause it supports!

I will be adding a link to this blog in the "Sierra's other blogs" as well.
