Christmas Thanks: Spirit of Giving | pounds per comments

Yep, I know, it’s Wednesday, not Thursday. I also know that tomorrow many of you will be busy doing much more important things (hopefully enjoying time with your family and friends) than reading the Lucky Mutt blog. So, before the holiday festivities begin, I wanted to make sure to thank everyone who commented on the blog during pounds per comments. There were twenty comments left, which means I will be donating twenty pounds of pet food to The Pet Project…but, here’s the thing…I want more.

So, for today only (December 23, 2009), I will donate two pounds of dog and/or cat food per comment left on the blog* (any post, and feel free to comment more than once) to The Pet Project, an organization dedicated to helping people keep their pets by providing pet food and basic supplies to those who are struggling. Please join me in helping these people and pets in need by leaving a comment!

To everyone who stops by over the next few days, happy holidays from our home to yours, and if you are in the midwest, we wish you safe travels through the upcoming snow storm!

*As previously stated, as much as my heart wishes I could donate endless amounts of food to these pets and people in need, my pocketbook requires a ceiling. This year the maximum amount of food I will be able to donate is 100 lbs. Thank you!

thursday thanks: holiday spirit | pounds per comments

I LOVE the holiday season – and with ten years of working in retail under my belt, that says a lot!! Every year I get swept up in the first snowfall, the twinkle lights on neighborhood homes, the plethora of must-watch Christmas movies, and the music. (Yep, I love me some Christmas tunes.) Call me crazy, but I even enjoy the satisfaction of finding a gift I know someone will love…and I love wrapping Christmas presents. Of course, I completely blame my parents (and grandparents) for this crazy-Christmas love, as the winter holidays of my childhood were always filled with a sense of magic.

Now, I’m not saying I’m immune to the holiday stresses, or that every year is filled with picture-perfect holiday memories, but I will say that I find it darn near impossible to be a Scrooge this time of year, and for that I am incredibly thankful.

Inspired by the fantastic Gina Zeidler (of Zeidler Photography), this year I hope to spread some extra holiday cheer by participating in an animal friendly version of Cans for Comments.

Here’s how it works…

  • Today through December 17th, I will donate one pound of dog or cat food for every comment left on this blog.*
  • Comments can be left on any post on the blog.
  • All food donations will go to The Pet Project, a Twin Cities organization dedicated to helping people keep their pets by providing pet food and basic supplies to those who are struggling.

Please help make a difference for those in need this holiday season by leaving lots of comments in the next week!
