Feeding & Caring for Our Best Friends

@AdrielHampton of 'Adriel Nation/Wired to Share' invited his connections to participate in the "Write a Blog, Help a Dog" Campaign sponsored by Pedigree Foundation - a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. For every blog post that mentions them between now and this Saturday, September 3rd, Pedigree will donate 20 lbs. of dog food to an animal shelter.

What a fantastic way for an organization to:

1. GIVE!
2. Involve the community
3. Build brand awareness through PR

As a life long pet owner I can attest to the joy my canine buddies bring to my life. I am currently the proud mother of seven year old Geordie, a loving over-sized Yorkie, and his hefty younger brother Marco, a nine month old, sixty pound Shar Pei. Every day I experience the hilarity, sometimes aggravation ('leave it!' means take your huge slobbery mouth off of my arm!), and always love of sharing our home and lives with our pups. Wouldn't have it any other way!

But we all know that not every dog is so lucky. Neglect, abandonment and abuse are the sad lot of many animals - and they are lucky if they find their way to a shelter to receive care. Let's help support those shelters in one small way. All you have to do is write! And pass this along.

More details and all the rules can be found on Felissa's Two Little Cavaliers blog. Thanks Felissa for sharing!

To quote Adriel, "I hope you'll join me and write a post this weekend. The goal is 500 posts and 10,000 lbs. of food."

Here's to 5 tons of meals for mutts!
