Hi Everyone! 

I have been working a pet trade show in Las Vegas the last few days, checking out all kinds of new stuff, and of course I came across the booth for several of The Pet Postcard Project's generous sponsors. This is a great video from Petz Off Blankets, so I thought I'd share it. 

I was going to stay out of town for a few more days because I have some more work in Denver, but I got several concerned phone calls from the nice lady who watches my dogs while I'm away from NYC. Apparently, Pepper can't walk and was screaming and crying. There's a bit of a language barrier, so I determined that his arthritis is probably acting up terribly and/or he may have re-injured his knee, which he tore 6 years ago. Yikes. I cried for a bit, but then realized that crying wasn't going to help the situation, so I made a flight to go back to NYC tomorrow. It probably doesn't help that Puppy Pearl is pestering him. Wish us all luck, please! 

Hugs and Woofs!

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear about Pepper. That's a horrible feeling when you're away from your babies then something happens to one of them. I hope everything is okay with that sweet boy. You and Pepper are in my prayers. Wishing you safe travels back home. Big hugs.

Poor Pepper :( Hope it isnt anything serious and will keep all 3 of you in my prayers. Let us know what is up once you know an are able to settle down for a bit. I am sure it doesnt help to have your younger sis bug you when you are not at the top of your game. Lots of good thoughts and prayers headed your way ((hugs))

That video clip was great. Not only does it work on the sofa - if you don't want your 120 lb. dog sleeping on the bed with you, place it across the bottom of your bed!

Pepper and Pearl were probably partying to hard with you away. At his age, it's easy to have aches and pains. Let us know how he's doing. Belly rubs to both the furkids from me!

What is the Pet Postcard Project?

  • The Pet Postcard Project is a grassroots arts-and-crafts project aimed at raising food for shelter pets and awareness about the plight of homeless animals. "Pet Postcards" for this project are homemade and handmade postcards featuring your own pets that you make and then snail mail into The Pet Postcard Project. Each card you send earns food for shelter dogs and cats. So far, this project has received many thousands of funny, weird, sad, cute, and profound cards, all filled with love for a beloved pet.

    Please include a PHOTO of the animal on each card, or else we won't know who's "talking!" The words are not just captions, they are creative confessions, wishes, advice, excuses, and "you know you love your dog/cat when" ideas. Here's how to turn postcards into pet food for shelter animals!

    This site does NOT make money on this project. It's all to raise food and awareness for shelter animals.

    ADDRESS:

    The Pet Postcard Project, 676A Ninth Ave., #321, New York, NY 10036

    Pet food (and other stuff) raised for shelter animals though The Pet Postcard Project since February 14th, 2007 (approx):

    • Pounds: 342,845
    • Meals: 834,000
    • Kibbles: 283,180,000
    • Toys and Merch: $13,500
    • Monetary Donations: $19,200
    • Card Count: 36,000+

    Feeding homeless pets, one postcard at a time! All we are is one girl, one laptop, 2 dogs, great food/stuff sponsors, and a few invaluable "postcard posting" volunteers. The Pet Postcard Project started with nothing but a desire to help homeless animals, and YOUR postcards have made that happen.

    To count toward any campaign, the words on the cards shouldn't be just captions - they are ADVICE, CONFESSIONS, OR WISHES from or to the pet.

    PLEASE MAIL MULTIPLE CARDS IN AN ENVELOPE OR BOX TO SAVE PAPER AND STAMPS.
