I am also sending a large box of beds, sweaters, toys etc, to the Laurens Zoo Special Interest Donations (the organizaton that is taking care of chopstix) so if anyone has any extra items they would like to include just let me know. They said they could always use just about anything. If you would rather just send it directly to them I think their address is posted on the first chopstix petfinder post.

You're AWESOME !! What a great thing to do !

I just weeded out my girls things and mailed it to friends ...or I would add to your donations...I wonder what kinds of toys they take - do you know ? I have a few new toys stashed for gifts - but have lots of gently used toys

Im sure they would take anything that you would give to your own dog. I asked them if they ever needed non essential items like clothes and they said they get dog's with skin dieseases and other problems like that and they could really use clothes to stay warm which I really didnt even think of. So I think anything is really appreciated. Plus They can always send the items home with the dogs once they are adopted.

Thank you !! I think I have some things that Tessa my cocker doesn't wear anymore....& we for sure have toys. Most of the girls things I didn't already give away were gifts from YT members last Christmas ...and I just cant part with them - but I MAY have a few little Petsmart shirts (new) ....I found one in my car the other day

and some blankets and stuff - thanks for the idea Shana - and what you're doing is wonderful girl. Very thoughtful !!!

luvmybabies · 09-13-2006, 09:47 AM

Thank you so much for sending me the e-mail this morning re: this precious baby, Chopstix. I donated $25.00 and sent it to EVERY person in my address book.

peanut · 09-13-2006, 10:37 AM

Awwwwwwwwwww What a sweet thing to do !! I got chills reading what you just said - thank you so much. big hugs to you !!! and I bet they'd take a donation with 2 names so yours will be there ...that's so thoughtful ~!

Thanks so much

red98vett · 09-13-2006, 10:50 AM

OMG - so everyone knows what a big heart Peanut has - she just made a REALLY nice donation to Chopstix. I STILL have chills and am sending you a BIG HUG ! Didya feel it ???

I just want to say that I LOVE MEETING people like you even if it is the Internet. That was just an awesome thing to do.

Thank you so much and it's going to be thanks to people like you that this baby gets all the medical attention she deserves.

peanut · 09-13-2006, 11:00 AM

I just think if you have extra you should share....& God knows that poor baby needs it... and what better way to also say thanks for everything you do for me & everyone else on YT....Yorkie Talk wouldn't be the same without you and you are always willing to help anyone & you always post to everyone's threads and that really means alot V....From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!!!!

and other YT's think about this, if you are going to buy your babies a harness vest, you can go to Tinkerbell's and buy the paws for society one for 15 and right now Shana is donating it all(15) for Chopstix and get a harness vest too..You are helping out a baby in need and are also buying your baby a new vest....

mojolove05 · 09-13-2006, 12:00 PM

I know it isn't much but I donated the $0.74 that has been sitting in my account for months now. Hope it will help a lil'.

peanut · 09-13-2006, 12:03 PM

Thats great....every little bit helps....just think if every YT did the same how much money they would have to help.....Your awesome.....

sassypup · 09-13-2006, 12:24 PM

I donated! I figure even if it's a small donation, it will count towards something for that poor baby!

Wow, that is just so awesome. Since you were going the EXTRA mile and doing this, I thought that I would give a little extra info and post the link to the Lauren's Zoo homepage.

http://www.petfinder.org/shelters/AL173.html

And low and behold, look what she has posted:

"Our Featured Pet...
"Chopstix", the one and only, has recieved SO much acclaim! check her out on stumpshop.com and tinkerbellscloset.com. It seems that everyone loves her as much as we do. She has alot of surgury and therepy to "look forward" to, so check in and look for her updates."

YEEEEEAH, YT!!!!!!!! I want to personally thank each of you, even though I am not personally connected, and previously knew nothing about this shelter. It sounds like they are doing a great work:

"Lauren's Zoo is an all species/breed caregiver to local homeless pets that are in need. We have a wonderful success rate with special needs animals (deaf, blind, amputee, etc). In the last 10 years, We have placed hundreds of animals all over the southeast; Our mission in life is to love, care, and PLACE animals who haven't been given a chance."

In closing, did I mention: YORKIE TALK RULES?!?!?!?!

Shanatink · 09-13-2006, 01:27 PM
