Fundraiser a success!

Crystal here.

Thanks to our friends at the Pretoria Pet Hospital (PPH), plus family members and coworkers who generously donated items for sale, our "booth" at last weekend's Glebe Garage Sale was a great success! We raised approximately $255.00 through sales and donations.

Also, our friends at Pet Plan Insurance contributed a doggie gift basket for a raffle (also hosted by PPH), which raised an additional $90.00, for a grand total of...

$345.00

All proceeds of the sale and raffle will go directly to the JAIDA Fund!

Our big ol' thanks to everyone who helped, donated, bought raffle tickets or items at our sale. Each and every contribution, no matter how small,
brings us closer to our goal of helping other disabled animals.

NEW: you can now donate to the JAIDA Fund via Pay Pal! Just click on the "donate now" button on the right side of this page. Thank you for your generosity!

Henry, the three-legged Angel

Jaida here.

I just got an email from my new paw-pal, Henry. Henry is rather like me, in that he is furry and oh-so-gorgeous. Oh, yes, and he only has three legs.

Henry is a very famous guy, a real celebrity. He has been on T.V. and in magazines and newspapers and he even has written BOOKS! I think I need to get moms to call his agent....

Anyways, fabulous Henry has decided that I, too, am fabulous (naturally) and is going to send me some of his books! My moms are very excited about this, because they tell me that other people are going to want these books, and these people will give them some of that paper stuff they need to take care of my boo-boo leg.

If Henry were here, I would be bouncing all over him and giving him all kinds of kisses for making my moms so happy! Thanks, Henry!

A word of thanks.

Crystal here. (Jaida's off busy being cute at this moment. Sorry.)

We just want thank the folks in our lives (real and virtual) who have taken the time to let us know we're doing an o.k. job with this little pup of ours. You all made a big difference, and your kind words came when they were needed most. So...thanks.

EXCUUUSE ME! Jaida here.

Boy, mom's been hogging this blog lately, huh. My crafty teeth and I will have to have a word with her ankles about this. Pardon me? Nothing.

I would like to tell you all that my ONE GOOD LEG is feeling considerably more like it's old self, and I am back to my usual hopping about, with much less bonking and more dangling of my boo-boo leg. I still am BALD on my ONE GOOD LEG, which is most unbecoming to a gal of my loveliness. Moms tell me that I should get used to the BALD-ness, and that I "haven't seen nothin' yet", and whisper about something called a SUR-GER-EE. I'm not entirely sure what they mean, but mom Crystal gave me a BATH last weekend, so maybe she's thinking about a new hairdo for lovely me? Personally, I don't think that BALD would be a very good look for a gal of my loveliness. My teeth and I will have to have another word with her about that too.....
