Paws on Parade

ARF had a fund-raising dog walk on Sunday which I participated in. I raised $350 (donated by friends and family) to give to ARF and in exchange I got a goody bag with t-shirt, disposable camera, lots of dog treats, a collapsible water bowl, light-up keychain shaped like a dog bone, a pedometer....and so many other things! It was awesome getting swag for philanthrophy. Obviously, also, it was awesome raising money for kitties and puppies and walking around an outdoor mall with my brother, his girlfriend, and their baby.

Some of the kittens being saved by the donations I raised:

gambling like a two penny whore

big b lumberyard on the corner of contra costa and the trifecta of taco bell, wendy's, and the fish store is turning into a casino!

what the fuck, pacheco? how the fuck do you have casinos in the middle of the suburbs? especially how will you support two ON THE SAME BLOCK? is the historic landmark one moving to this new location? it's been there since 1854. why is my childhood relocating?

thank you for your time taken on my rant.
