Happy Tails Furever!

As you may or may not know, I'm moving out of the St. Petersburg area and, unfortunately, will no longer be volunteering at Pet Pal Animal Shelter.  But no worries, Happy Tails isn't going anywhere!  I'll still be keeping in touch with Pet Pal and writing blogs about all the happenings there as well as many other topics about pet adoption, responsible pet parenting, important pet awareness events, and of course fun facts about our favorite furry friends! 

 

For today's blog, I want to give a huge shout out and congratulations to Gracie Grieshop and all the staff and volunteers who have been working sooooo very hard for sooooo many months on Pet Pal's annual Puppy Love benefit.  Since I'm in the middle of moving, I was unable to attend the event this year, but it seems to get bigger and better every year and I'm sure 2016 was no exception.  I'm truly amazed at just how much planning and preparation is involved with a fund raiser of this size and, despite all the craziness they go through, Gracie and her team always manage to pull it all together and make it a terrific success.  You guys totally rock!  Keep up the awesome work! 

 

Anyway, I hope this year's 14th annual Puppy Love turns out to be everything Pet Pal needs it to be and much, much more.  I also hope everyone had a really great time and is now getting some much needed rest before looking ahead to next year's event.  Speaking of next year, here's my challenge to you for Puppy Love 2017.  Let's make a goal of raising enough money to move Pet Pal into a bigger facility so they can save more animals!  OK, so maybe that's a little out of reach but it doesn't hurt to dream, right? 

 

Stay tuned for lots more Happy Tails, including my long-awaited search for my own rescue dog!  Yes, once we get ALL the renovations done on our house in NC and settle in there, I can FINALLY have a dog!  We're also planning to have a few goats, maybe some chickens, and who knows what else.  One thing is for sure though, there will be plenty of happy tails to come!    .    

 

Happy tails to you until we meet again!
