Christmas and the Little Ones

It is time to get serious about your shopping if you haven't already.  Remember your pets and your outside visitors when you shop. 

Keep in mind the outside birds are looking for some much needed nutrition at this time of the year.  Once you begin your feeding regiment, don't quit!  They will come to depend on you as a ready source of food. Rendering the fat from your untrimmed beef roasts will make a great treat for them.  If that is too much trouble, buy the suet cakes from the store.  These tasty treats are for everyday, but your gift can be bought in bulk to have on hand for the winter.

If you live near some wooded area, remember to feed the deer.  This is a hard time of the year for them. The difficulty of finding food often results in the death of many animals.

Your indoor companions would love to have a special new toy (read the label for safety tips and point of origin) to occupy them when the snow is falling.  Spending time with your cat, who otherwise will sleep through the winter, is healthy for him and great for you...it lifts your spirits when you are bonding with your pet.

This is a hurried time of the year; however remembering to pamper the animals in your life is a gift to them that is priceless. Shop, pamper your loved ones inside and out, and have a blessed season!

Do It Every Day for the Animals

A few years ago I was introduced to www.theanimalrescuesite.com . With an increase appreciation for the purpose of this site, I have found myself boasting about it on Facebook and Tweeting as often as possible.  This organization is part of the Greater Good Network and besides "clicking" to give food (free for you to do) there are heartwarming stories about rescued animals. 

When I need a birthday gift for someone, I watch the sales for the online store and shop for a very unique gift.  Each item purchased feeds a shelter animal with a certain number of bowls.  What a great way to be part of a greater good.

The items available for sale are quality items and free shipping is often offered.  When shipping is not free, it is a mere $4.95 for the entire order.

Dealing with customer service is awesome.  No other customer service outranks the congeniality of The Animal Rescue site. 

You will also be given a chance to vote for a shelter in your area which, if they win enough votes, will be given a nice sum of money to help with the shelter's needs. 

I know you have a love of animals or you wouldn't be reading this blog.  Go ahead..support www.theanimalrescuesite.com and feel the satisfaction of helping our little rescued friends.animal rescue
P.S.  Sylvester was rescued.  He was a stray that I had fixed and Dogwood Animal Shelter in Osage Beach, Missouri did the surgery and gave him his first shots.  I am allergic to him (and a bunch of other stuff); however the allergy shots do the trick.  He is my little boy!
