smiling happy faces!
I spent a good part of today working on this video for Bernie at A Place to Bark. Look at all these smiling, happy faces!



There are ONLY 3.5 MORE DAYS LEFT to help A Place to Bark win the $50,000 grant!!

This is a cause that is so close to my heart, thank you for bearing with me while I make this last push for Bernie and the animals she rescues. Bernie and I have been close friends for 5 years and during that time I have learned so much about the horrors and sadness that can happen to these wonderful little creatures. I have spent days in sadness after hearing what she has gone through and the needless killing of these innocent animals. I can not do what Bernie does. I do not have the emotional strength. I can't even hear most of her stories because it sends me into fits of crying. She is strong and she is brave -- she fights for the animals who can not fight for themselves. I want to help her because she does what I only wish I could do.

Please keep spreading the word, just $10 ten dollars can make a world of difference in the lives of these animals! To succeed at the Challenge, the objective is to get as many people as we can to donate to our cause. Duplicate donations from the same individual will only be counted once. So tell everyone you know and get them to donate!! The heat is on and we need to keep those $10 donations coming in! I asked my massage therapist! And my neighbors! And all the people who I buy Girl Scout cookies from too!

If you think about it, what does ten dollars days buy now-a-days?? Not very much..
BUT your $10 can help A Place to Bark win this grant which will give Bernie the opportunity to build a shelter and save hundreds more animals from needless death!!

We only have until Thursday @ 3pm EST!! Let's DO THIS!!!

Also don't forget we have many donation gifts available to a few lucky donors, click here for the full list!

I just watched this 5 times! It is so awesome! I'm sure Bernie loves it! I also put it on my blog. Hopefully, I can help drum up a few more donations.

Claudine,
I check the badge ranking every day and I donated also and placed the badge on my blog. I know that there are alot of artists out there that have added the badge to their blogs too! It's great to see everyone pull together for a great cause.
 
I just love all those happy "smiling" faces. I also could not do what she does -- I am even crying at your HAPPY u-tube, so I thank you for spreading awareness and giving all of us the opportunity to help!!
