~ small inspiration ~
I was up early this morning, sipping coffee and going through my Twitter feed, when I found a link that made me sit up and take action.
Angie and I have written about our love of animals, specifically our dogs, several times on this site (see examples here, here, and here). It always amazes me how special the bond can be between humans and animals. It makes life so much more beautiful. I cannot imagine life without dogs. I completely adore my Bud and Beth and was beyond thrilled when Angie brought home little Daisy.
I especially have a soft spot for my little Beth (top left), whom we affectionately refer to as our Pound Puppy. She's so sweet and sensitive and perfect for our family. Best of all, we saved her when no one else wanted her. It breaks my heart to think of how many dogs are waiting for love right now.
This morning when I read that Pedigree is donating food to dog shelters JUST FOR WRITING A BLOG POST, there was no doubt in my mind what today's Small Inspiration would be (read more information here on ILoveRescueAnimals.org). It's so simple and wonderful: For every blog post that mentions the company's adoption drive by Sunday, September 19, Pedigree will donate a 20 pound bag of Healthy Longevity Food to a shelter. Sign us up!
Even if you don't have a blog, you can help. Log on to Facebook and become a fan of Pedigree. For every fan they receive, Pedigree will donate a bowl of dog food to a local shelter (their goal is 4 million bowls, one for every dog that will end up in a shelter this year). Over 1.1 million bowls have been donated. Can I just say how inspirational that is? Beautiful!
