Oh What A Night!

My mom came home just raving about the Tails at Twilight Gala. Deborah (actually my grandmother but she prefers to be called Deborah) and my auntie came into town for the evening, and it was fun to have them visit. They all said everything was wonderful....the auction items were terrific, everyone was in a generous mood, and the evening was just a fantastic success. They are still tallying up the totals, and I will be sure to report back with the grand total of how much money was raised. In the meantime, a BIG and HEARTFELT thank you to everyone who attended and so generously opened their wallets as well as to those who donated items. Your support of the animals is amazing. My mom also said the APS was successful in raising over $15,000 for air conditioning in the back kennels. With summer coming, this is just a wonderful enhancement for the shelter...now the animals can rest in cool comfort instead of the hot summer air. Thank you, thank you!

I was sorry to miss the Gala, but I am really getting excited for the Walk. My mom says it is "go time" which means it is time to start the fundraising. The Walk is also critical for the APS to continue to serve the animals. Your dollars do make a difference, and I hope you are making plans to participate.

It is spring now which is so lovely. I spent a good part of the weekend outside playing with Callie and helping (or supervising, to be accurate) my mom clean up the yard. It is so nice to enjoy the spring air. We also watched a good bit of basketball as March Madness has griped my household. Ah, isn't this a splendid time of year?!

Well, gotta run...more to come soon!
