We have had the honor of adopting 4 cats and 4 dogs. They have enriched our lives in ways I can't even begin to describe. We are thankful for all the joy, laughter, comfort, and solace they provide every single day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is winter here and aside from hibernating there isn't a whole lot of activity going on. So instead of being a lazy couch potato all the time I wanted motivation to get downstairs and use the wonderful elliptical machine we have. And the bike, and the stair master.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, for the winter season I will walk/climb/ride/elip my little heart out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all you have to do is donate to your local shelter or to the SPCA. Through the rest of this year they have a &lt;a href="https://secure2.convio.net/aspca/site/Donation2?df_id=5860&amp;amp;5860.donation=form1&amp;amp;s_src=donate&amp;amp;s_subsrc=banner&amp;amp;JServSessionIdr006=13bl3rcl13.app25b"&gt;challenge&lt;/a&gt; grant going on so anything you donate gets doubled. How cool is that?&lt;br /&gt;Because of the challenge grant I won't ask for people to donate through paypal as was done with the MS Society walk I did this summer. The button on the left with the kitty will take you directly to the ASPCA donation site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I know times are hard so if you can't donate financially check out the website of a local shelter. They could always use things like blankets, towels etc. Not to mention the dollar spot at target always seems to have dog/cat stuff. Buy a few balls, collars, leashes, whatever and bring that to your local shelter. Believe me, it is appreciated more than there are words for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comment if you donate anything.  I'll keep a list on the side bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5553094185412333006-673719942234654259?l=pawsofpromise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pawsofpromise.blogspot.com/feeds/673719942234654259/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pawsofpromise.blogspot.com/2008/12/paws-of-promise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5553094185412333006/posts/default/673719942234654259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5553094185412333006/posts/default/673719942234654259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pawsofpromise.blogspot.com/2008/12/paws-of-promise.html' title='Paws of Promise'/><author><name>Newt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03350406826173534161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/130/408845276_ed4dddd9a9_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
