Selfless Saturday- Grete Gives Back

I hate the flashy box. Ok, I'm afraid of it. Mom and dad have imagined all sorts of stories of why I hate it so much. Their favorite is that my former owner who relinquished me to the pound was arrested in a blaze of flashing police car lights and flashlights, followed by my trip to the police line up. So for me to volunteer to pose for a professional photographer to raise money for homeless dogs is a big deal. I did this last year too. I started out with my usual just arrested guilty look. Then I progressed to my full frontal mug shot.
Followed by the obligatory side view.
Then with the support of my friend and photographer Bob, I gave them what they wanted. The real me!
It's for a good cause after all! Bob took photos of woofies every 15 minutes all day long to raise funds for the Family Dogs New Life shelter. A ton of money was raised and I went home feeling good.

Thankful Thursday

Today Grete is giving thanks for all that she has. My Grete dog hates getting her picture taken more than just about anything. Point a camera at her and she runs. This past weekend Grete had an opportunity to help out other doggies that are still homeless and wanting to find their furrever families.

When Grete found out that there was a fund raiser for Family Dogs New Life she was all excited and wanted to know what she could do to help. Uh oh, turns out she had to pose for a picture. Mom's cycling buddy Bob, was taking pictures as a fund raiser for this nice shelter. Grete was unsure, but her generosity was greater than her fear, so she agreed.

Yes, she was a bit stressed, but Bob worked his magic to get a nice shot of Grete before she bolted! We promised her that we won't point the flashy box at her for awhile! She hopes to give back again when ever she can, because she knows that not all dogs have a place to call home.
