I know it's better than nothing but can't believe only £34 was raised from the Pets at Home 'stall' - I know it's the credit crunch and everything but if the majority of people had just given 50p or a £1 then a decent amount could have been raised. Must be so disheartening for the Paws Inn helpers who gave up their time to do it
Aw, thanks for your kind words Tiggy's Mum - I guess it could have been more but personally speaking I didn't find it too disheartening - at least there was plenty of time for me, Claire and Debbie to have a good natter
Although we were collecting money in a bucket I think the store preferred us to try and get food (as it's more money through the tills) so we weren't rattling the tin at evey possible moment which prehaps we should. Also, a lot of people there were buying large sacks of dry food which obvioulsy would be impractical for them to split. Some people who'd adopted Paws babies in the past came up to us for a chat and were telling us how their charges were getting on which was lovely and made it all seem worth it
Also with regard to the donations, remember it was Comic Relief on Friday and there's also been a lot of appeals on the TV for help with the Japanese disaster so I guess a lot of people are spent up at the mo charity wise.
What fantastic pics you've got there T! Lark's five are ludicrously cute and should be on the front of a box of chocolates lol. Lilly and her three - WOW
you know full well my love for the blackies. So glad that she's feeling brighter today and she looks to be a fantastic mum cat. Hope to meet her soon
