Last month, I wrote a little poem entitled “The Hope of a Shelter Kitty” for one of Mama Kat’s Writing Workshops. If you missed it, and you’d like to read it, click here.
I pledged to donate $1 per comment left on that post by my readers. The recipient of my donation was the humane society where we had recently adopted our kitty, Sundae.
That post resulted in 28 comments, but I wrote a check for $35 to the society, which is the fee to adopt a pet.
This week I received a thank-you letter from the humane society, letting me know that my our donation paid for one of Sundae’s former shelter-mates, a kitty named Ida, to recently be adopted to a wonderful home.
So Ida, Sundae, and I say “meow, meow, thank you”.
I was toying with the idea of making another pledge to benefit our local animal shelter. (Sundae was adopted from one about an hour away.) My readership has increased in the past few weeks, so if I were, perhaps offering to pledge $1 for each comment to today’s post, I could be in serious trouble. Couldn’t I? Couldn’t I? So it probably wouldn’t be in my best interest to make that offer.
But it WOULD be in the best interest of the animal shelter.
Sundae says: “Meow?” (please).
Can YOU refuse that face?
