A Special Grant

GREAT news!!!!

My employer had a "Volunteer Week" back in April, where everyone in the company, who is an active volunteer, could write up a document to explain why they feel their organization would be eligible and worthy cause for a $500 grant.

So, since I feel that our Pet Save is a pretty darn awesome charity, I took some time and filled out the application and wrote up my document, and submitted it. I thought, heck, I may not get it, but why not try for it anyway.

Well! I bet you can guess what happened!

Yesterday I looked in my mailbox, and in there was a really nice letter from the company and a cheque drawn to Pet Save for $500!!!! Wooooooo!!!!! I was almost in tears jumping for joy! It made my day.

And! I got to tell Jill about it on the phone today. She was super happy too, of course :)

With that being said, I got more good news. I'm on my way to pick up the new crew right now. Should be home to make a post about it in a few hours or so (I'll probably just add on to this post). And Rosie is booked for her operation next Thursday ~ we'll be bringing her in Wednesday night!

Off I go. Back soon! :)
