Linda's gym did a pet food drive for the local animal shelter this week. Today was the day that they gathered it all up and donated it. We had about 36 cans of cat food left over from when Chip was alive. Linda was so glad to be able to donate it to some needy kitties. Some people bought toys and treats All pets sometime need a cookie or Woobie, right? Overall, more than 300 pounds of food was collected, and that is not including the cans, treats, beds or toys.
There is a pet store right near the gym. Linda had to run in between classes this morning to get Chim a new collar (which needs to be returned :( since it's too big.) She also picked up a bag of dry food for us. The girl at the register said "Wow, I can't believe how much food we are selling today!" Linda told her about the food drive. While she was at the front desk at the gym after all her classes were done, a person who was not even a member bought in a big bag of kibble. Yay! for feeding hungry animals.
