Pawsome charities, giving back

This photo is what I see EVERYDAY before Odin and I go for a walk. Princess Raven Roo must get a treat at the same time as Odin before we walk out the door. She then proceeds to sit in the window and watch for us to come back. As soon as she sees us, she runs to the door anxiously awaiting for it to open. After one more treat , she must smell Odin head to toe to find out exactly what he has been up to without her. He sits and allows the inspection, but twitches his feet and ears when she tickles them. We are all very fortunate to have each other and Odin and Raven are very thankful for the treats. They know that not everybody is as fortunate as they are. We want to give back when we can.

When my book, "Furry Philosophy and Memoirs Set in Stone" is sold privately by emailing cani7lupus@aol.com or calling 231-893-1227 and not through Amazon( as Amazon makes more money on my book than I do) I will donate $5 for every books sold the animal related charity that is featured at the time.You can read the first chapter of my book for free at: http://www.furryphilosophy.blogspot.com/2015/02/trying-my-hand-at-blogging.html
