Let’s remember the critters this Christmas.

Curse those Sarah McLachlan videos and the ASPCA ones too, right? I’m just sitting there watching TV, eating chips and then I’m sobbing. Last Christmas my daughter wished to save all of the animals due to a commercial; see above photo.

I donated.

I also posted the picture to Facebook and guilted my friends into donating as well. I think a few friends and family helped to make Weez’s, that’s her nickname, wish come true.

Given that it’s Christmas time again, here are some “Hope for Paws” videos to bring us to tears, and remind us all that the critters need our help.

They can’t help themselves.

This one about did me in…

Every year, a few times a year, my daughter and I collect food and used blankets for the local Humane Society. It’s something we can all do in our areas. 

Consider the critters this year.
