2011 all about Shelters

Yesterday we were all shocked with disturbing news about the slaughter of 100's of Whistler sled dogs.  http://www.vancouversun.com/news/sled+dogs+slaughtered+Whistler+when+tourism+slumped+Report/4196610/story.html
It is a sad reality, but acts of animal cruelty happen around us all the time.  I believe that we were the ones to domesticate these animals for our own use or pleasure and therefore we owe it these animals to take care of them.  Sadly these animals don't have a voice.  We have to be their voice.

In January I decided to donate $100 from every sale in 2011 to the Shelter Foundation http://www.royallepage.ca/en/community/shelter-foundation/index.aspx
I have decided 2011 is going to be all about SHELTERS for me.  Shelters for people in need and Shelters for animals in need too.  So....along with the $100 a sale going to the Womens Shelter I will also donate $100 per sale to our local S.P.C.A through the Paws for a Cause campaign.  

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day...If its sunny and the groundhog sees his shadow it means winter stays around another 6 weeks.  If its cloudy apparently it means spring will come sooner.  The forecast for tomorrow shows cloudy with sunny periods.  I am sure hoping its cloudy tomorrow.
