I am just floored at what you have sent on behalf of my local Pet Rescue. I strongly suspect they have never experienced this much generosity. I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought a padded envelope or two might show up with a few rawhide bones and a few catnip mice but I have gotten boxes of wonderful things and I am sure they will be overjoyed when they get them Christmas Eve. I still have a few weeks to gather more stuff and since they have such a hard time getting anything they will be as floored as I am at your generosity. I am thinking I may have a truckload once I add some big bags of food.
I have an idea and maybe one of you may have more insight. I thought I could go to carpet places and see if they have carpet samples with the bound edges. They usually throw them out. I thought they might be good for pens since it has been colder out and many of the floors are cold concrete. Does that sound like something they could wash? I don't want to call the rescue because I want it to be a big surprise for them. My hope is to pull up with a truckload of stuff and take some pressure off a few of the people that spend so much of their own time and money on this project.
Any other ideas are totally welcome. You all know as much as I do about this.
I want to give a special shout out to snoringKatZ, Cranky Pants, and Robbbiedobbbie who have made me cry repeatedly with their generous gifts. These are those random acts of kindness we all hear so much about. They have eached raised the bar for me. They have made the possibilities seem endless for me. One small act at a time and before we know it we have conquered another thing that makes a huge difference for humanity.
God bless the beasts and the children. To me there is no difference with the exception that the kids stand a far better chance of at least getting fed everyday. I thank you all for your kindness. Christmas has come early in Nashville.
