Our virtual 5K is finished and it was a huge success! A big thanks to Chelle for all her wonderful work! Our friends and family... and even complete strangers, managed to raise $2,100! I'm in awe of the grand total! With this latest boost we've surpassed the halfway mark of our fundraising goal! Wheeeeee! In a little over a year (we launched our website on November 18, 2012) we've managed to raise $5,152 of the 10,000 we are hoping to reach. I'll be honest, when we created the fundraising section of our website, I never thought we would even come close to our goal. The fundraising page was plopped in the website in the hopes of getting a few donations and to track our Etsy sales. It's incredible what you can accomplish when you have such supportive friends and family.
A lot of people have been asking if we have any news on a new match but not much has changed. We are patiently (or often impatiently) waiting to get the infamous call. It's been four months since our failed adoption and we haven't stopped thinking about getting the next call since. I'm hoping the upcoming holidays will help keep us busy so we can get a little reprieve from the constant hoping. Actually, I've been thinking lately that a call right now wouldn't be to our advantage since the Holidays make travelling more expensive. I keep trying to convince myself I DON'T want a call until the New Year, but we all know we would jump no matter when the call comes in. :-)
In the meantime, please consider a Christmas gift from our Etsy Shop. We've got pet ID tags, belt buckles, key chains and jewellery. You can check out our entire collection here. I'm also available for photo shoots. Unfortunately, I don't have any weekend spots left for before Christmas. However, if you have a flexible schedule (like a nurse :-)) I might be able to squeeze you in during a weekday.
