The Final Plea


Let me introduce you to Annabelle and Lizzy. Annabelle is a rescue and as you can see has no problem begging for the cause. Because of the generous support of the donors who contribute to animal welfare she landed with me after a horrible experience with those of our species who are less evolved. Hers is a terrible story which I will not share with you now, but would be happy to share with you in person. Keep in mind the story has a very happy ending. Annabelle is with me and she graces me with her gratitude everyday by her joyous demeanor. Anyone who has had the opportunity to meet her cannot believe she is unaffected by her past.
Lizzy, on the other hand has led the life of privilege, as most Welsh Corgis do. They are the breed which has won the heart of the Royal Family. Lizzy ended up with me by way of my mother and father who are not in a position to have a pet. So, I have living under my roof the polar opposite of canine attitude. As you can see in the picture, Annabelle has stuck her face right in front of the camera with conviction. She is asking without shame to make a donation within your means to Dancing for the Dogs. You may access the website: www.dancingforthedogs.com (the explanation of this event is in the previous blog post) and click on my picture to donate. She thanks you and so do I! Lizzy, as you can see remains in the background, but completely supports the cause. She has never been close to experiencing what Annabelle has and never will. Her understanding can only reach so far. What she does understand is that as a result of our generosity she has a sister with whom she is able to run, jump and play everyday. Seeing them together brings a smile to my face and this union would not have been possible without the support of those of us who care.
Thank you to those of you who have already donated, thank you to those who plan to donate but have not yet and thank you to those of you who have provided a home to those dogs who so desperately needed your stewardship and attention.
