The generosity of others

WOW. I cant' say I'm surprised, but touched down deep in my soul, yes, that I am.


I've been making phone calls to spread the word about the adoption day event we are hosting for the Edison Animal Shelter. The generosity of our community has warmed my heart for sure.

I'm a big believer of saying thank you, not just in passing, but really meaning it. Taking the time to show your gratitude is important. These are times we should all be grateful for what we have no matter what. There's something comforting about helping a worthy cause. Although we may not be able to help everyone, but knowing we're doing our best is what counts; from where I come from at least. The support of local businesses to spread the word about this event really means alot to us.

We reached out to the township to get this event some exposure. Not for K9Confections, or Harrington Limousine Service, but to do what we can to keep our promise to the dogs and cats at the Animal Shelter.

Before I get too deep, I have to thank my husband Jonathan for his generosity for letting me do my small part to help the animals, without him none of this could happen.

So, Mike D'Amato & Joe Vierno from Edison's Channel 15 interviewed Jonathan and I. Boy was I nervous...(Joe's great at preparing you for the camera by the way). Neither of us are accustomed to seeing ourselves on TV. Maybe I can get a stand-in next time! We were happy to have this beautiful dog "Daisy" to hang out with us while on film, I really hope she gets adopted, she's super sweet!

So here's my HUGE thank you to Mike & Joe for their time.... they're the 1st step in making a difference for the animals.

Then I remembered another dog lover who's a local realtor I met a few years ago, and gave him a call. Not only did he agree to post the event flyer in his office, but he promised to get the fliers distributed locally incorporating his "team" of co-workers. Thanks Rich!

In fairness to everyone who's helped or promised to do so, here's your spotlight:
Rich Tuma from Keller Williams of Metuchen, Steve Kaiser from On The Loose TV, Barkingham Palace of Metuchen, Annies Pet Grooming of Edison, Amboy Animal Hospital of Metuchen, Groomingdales Pet Spa of Colonia, Metuchen Veterninary Hospital.

If you are in the area June 28 please stop by. If your not in NJ, please show your love for the dogs and cats in an Animal Shelter in your community, and adopt one if you can.
