Ruth - Hi Alice

The slide show is awesome……….. thank you guys so much……… you are terrific!!! We appreciate all you did. Plus if you would like to post, as we did on our facebook…… we raised over $9,000.00 for the rescue groups, (each group received a check for $316.00, over 24 animals were adopted, 7 new foster homes were obtained. And all the groups said that it was a great event, and they can not wait to come back next year!! We are so pleased to and can not wait to do it again!! It was well worth the lost sleep, and folks like you guys made it all possible…………. so again from the bottom of my PAW THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!
