We have been busy this morning making dog quilts to donate to our local SPCA. Our local shelter is the only non-kill shelter in the county, and the only one that takes cats. It is very very cold here right now, and it is just too much for me to bear to think of these poor animals having no warm bed to lay on. So...thanks to my pal Gaylen, for posting a challenge to all her doggy friends to make beds for the dogs in dire need. I bought this fleece a bit ago, with intentions of making new blankies for my own dogs, but really...my dogs need another blanket like i need another hole in my head. They are more than happy to donate to other dogs though! The SPCA website stated that they are in constant need of laundry detergent, and dryer sheets/fabric softener, and luckily I had just bought a bottle of detergent that has not been opened yet, and i have an almost full bottle of fabric softener that i just do not use.
Everyone seems to be feeling the pinch this time of year, and THIS year in particular. Now is that time for all of us to dig a little deeper, and give just a little more. My local Urban Mission is at a critical low right now with their food pantry, as more and more families are unable to feed themselves. This is just unacceptable in our land of PLENTY, with our shamefully overfed citizens! Give up a meal, give up some fleece and laundry detergent, and GIVE!!! It'll make you feel better!!

Yes Jess! I love that Henry is making sure the beds are big enough and will work.
I hear ya about our dogs having enough. You've seen the number of beds in this house.
I would have never thought about laundry supplies. g
We are upping our donation to Food Bank of NC this year. Less people are giving and more people are in need. We are very blessed to have more than enough.
