They walked - we watched...

Recently we put up a small display at the Niagara Falls Humane Society Walkathon. It was great! We managed to get two photos of the day and here they both are:

The weather held up for them (no rain) and they raised over 13K for the animals. Niagara Falls is an awesome humane society!! Marilyn did an outstanding job organizing this one and the only thing missing was food and beverages. Hopefully next year that will be added. They had everything else - raffles, a silent auction (yeah, I got what I wanted!) and vendors with all sorts of animal related information and items.

If you missed it this year, don't miss it next year. We'll be back there for sure. They have grounds there that are very suited for this type of event and it's relaxing.

We even came across an injured baby mouse in the parking lot and took him in for care, but alas, he didn't make it. We took Charlie the Crow with us and he was happy to say Hello - as long as he was under the table. Put him on the table and he had nothing to say. Typical crow. He's a riot though here at home. Practically runs the house by himself. Loves the dogs. (It's because they have food that he loves them.)

My sincere thanks to Nick, Joan and Dakoda for their help and to BJ for loaning us the tent. Without killing each other we managed to put the tent up. Lots of teeth being gritted but no murders. You guys and gals are all the best!!

We've been busier than bees in a sticky hive. We're up to our necks in baby wildlife and trying to fundraise at the same time. Admissions are at an all time high. Not an easy task.

This coming weekend (June 20, 21) we'll be at the Welland Rose Festival Family Day at the Welland Arena parking lot. We have a booth there for information and if you're in the area, drop by and say hello.
