New Tradition for Xmas

[nudemetalz]

Well Mrs Nudie and I decided to make ourselves a tradition for this Christmas and future christmases by donating to a good charitable trust - namely the SPCA.

So we bought some cat food and dog food and trundled down to the SPCA this morning. Mrs Nudie even made a card for the cats and dogs too.
They were so grateful and we felt ever so good.

People often forget about the poor animals that get neglected or dumped over the hoilday period, so by giving something back filled us with warm satisfaction.

Fantastic gesture mate. I'm a real softy for animals. Good on you for helping out. Its always been one of my favourite organisations for support. My cat thinks so too, he's walking over the keyboard right now......

[nudemetalz]

It's hard to visit places like that, you see so many animals and you just want to take them all home !!

[Biff]

I was in China this time last year and ate dog around christmas time. Does that count as charity?

Seriously - I do a similar thing as you, but for humans. Not knocking what you do though. Goodonya.

Scuse me - I'm just bored and being a smart arse.

I hate cats though. Selfish mfkers. And what is it with single blokes who own cats. Gahahay? Not knocking gahays - each to their own. I ride a Honda, so I can't really talk. Live and let live. Apart from ghay cats - they should be put down. And ginga ghay cats. Not that I'm a biggot, coz I hate all cats.

Bored, bored, bored.

Sorry for waffling and hijacking your thread.

Do the right thing guys n girls - make a small donation to those less fortunate than yourselves this crimbo. :yes:

Fookin fantastic idea mate...

We have a kitty kat we rescued a few months back from them, was in a right state bless her....

Now in the process of trying to rescue a donkey from them aswell.....

You gotta love animals, but you can't eat all of them though, some are for loving.....but not that "special" loving you hear about :shutup:

That's a great idea, Mrs K.

Good on you guys, but I went one step further! I made and iced Christmas cakes and a Christmas pudding and collected all dog and cat themed items (crackers, toys, photo frames, photo albums, etc) and fudge, Christmas serviettes and tea towels, etc and auctioned them off on Trade Me for the Horowhenua Animal Rescue Shelter. Got $60 for the dog one and $86 for the cat one (but the woman rounded it up to $100), plus I received donations of about $70, then TM refunded my fees so I added $20 and gave them a donation of $250. I also 'bought' two kittens off them for a further $150 so I totally applaud what you have done because so many people forget the animals at Christmas (and I don't mean the drunken relatives!).

I was so pleased with the response from people bidding and also from Cindy at the shelter that I plan to make it an annual thing, although I will probably only run one auction, but put cat and dog things in it next year.

I also regularly buy a few cans of cat food and drop them in the donation bin at the supermarket.

At the last school I was teaching at the SPCA came in and talked to the kids. She told us how thousands of animals go into the SPCA (just in Auckland) and how most of them don't survive because of the horrible neglect and abuse they receive from arsehole owners

Good on you!!

Hi,

Come support me as I participate in funrazor in an effort to raise funds for Child Cancer Foundation.


Spread the word so that the Child Cancer Foundation really benefits from my efforts.

Thank you,

in March last year i read about a dog in the SPCA in Wairarapa and we had just moved into our house the day before and i told my partner i was going to LOOK at a dog and he said to wait 3 months before getting one and i said......*yeah yeah* however, i went up there and the dog they wanted me to get insisted on humping my leg and it was kinda offputting HAHA BUT there were about 8 dogs all playing around and there was this little skinny whippet/lab and something else cross that was under the trailer shaking and she came around and licked my hand and then went scooting back under the trailer and i knew she was the one for me. I told them there and then i wanted her and they said she had suffered terrible neglect and had been beaten badly and would need a tonne of love and attention.......needless to say i had my heart set on her and 3 days later i went in to get her. she had just been speyed and was quiet and scared and they said she was a quiet and shy dog anyhow........we had her on 10 days appro AND when the little blighter felt better by the 9th day she decided to dig a huge hole outside and many more and bite the windowsill and rip apart a couch........on the 10th day we went into the SPCA, paid for her and have adored her little personality ever since!

Seeing her now and what she was when we got her its amazing. She isnt completely confident around men especially as that was who had beaten her but she is so much better than she was. She is an absolute delight!

Anyhow, because i knew i couldnt give my time to the SPCA i donate as much as i can and i am in a position as a teacher to be able to send chn to work there on Wed, Thurs and Fri mornings.....they love it and leave school at 8am to be there to clean and pamper the animals there. It's a great community service for them and they do it for the sheer love of it. It has certainly taught them compassion for which i am grateful.

It's an awesome thing to be able to give time, money or whatever you can to the SPCA. They do a wonderful job
