I didn’t get to write anything last week- Mom and Dad were busy  helping get ready for the poker run, and our bike blessing.

Ms Kimmie & Mr Chris, and Ms Leah & Mr Charlie and Jordan (my BFF),  and Ms Jamalyn & Mr Justin and Georgia and Wyatt, and Ms Angela and Ms Sherry  all got together with Dad and Mom and they put together a poker run to raise money for the foster pups and kittens.

And how cool is this? Ziggy and Sharon and John P brought a bunch of their friends down again, and some nice folks from Prattville came down, and of course riders from Crenshaw County came to help out. Dad said there were about 45 or 50 bikes in all- they rode all over the county and then came back for lunch… they had a good time! And then all these nice folks donated door prizes, so they gave them away. I don’t know what poker is, but it must be fun.

Besides all the bikers who came, lots of people around the county helped out- they had a whole wall full of names of people and businesses who helped. I couldn’t read them all.

You know, everybody isn’t as lucky as Scout and me – we have a nice big bed to sleep in, and Dad and Mom make sure we have plenty to eat, including my favorite- pizza ‘bones’…. we get to watch TV and go for rides, and play with the kittens when we want.

And I bet you didn’t know this- but all those cats and kittens outside? They aren’t even ours! I didn’t know that until Mom told me… I just thought she and Dad liked cats a lot. But they’re foster cats from the Animal Society. We just get to love them and take care of them until someone adopts them.  But Dad and Mom treat them like they’re ours. Dad makes sure they have some extra canned food every morning when he goes out to work.

So if you’re a lucky pup like Scout and me, why don’t you think about donating to the Crenshaw County Animal Society? The foster pups and cats there would be very grateful. And while you’re at it, say a prayer that they find their very own person to love.

Prov. 12:10  A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
