February is the Month of Love - Charity Event @oldfriendssds #seniordog #nonprofit #adoptdontshop

This past year, I've had to accept the fact that my dog is getting older. We look after my daughter's puppy while she's at work, which makes Zeus's age even more apparent. Though he loves his doggy friend, he struggles some days to keep up with the puppy's energy. *sigh* It seems like only yesterday he was the one tearing around the house like a mad thing. I remember we'd hike for miles, run 5K's together—Zeus would be happy to pace me whatever the plan was. But now, our walks are short (though no less enjoyed!), and running is out of the question. In spite of this, I can't imagine my life without my dog. 

I wanted to do something special to celebrate senior dogs. During the month of February, I will donate all royalties from the sale of my books to Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary. You can read about their non-profit organization HERE. If you're looking to adopt, please consider a senior dog—they have so much love to give and are usually the last to get adopted. They deserve better. Check out your local shelter or rescue organization. I guarantee you, there will be a senior dog waiting for a forever home. 

*If you're a cat person, I donate book royalty sales during July (my birthday month) to Safe Haven for Cats. They work very hard to find homes for homeless kitties.

Thank You, Readers! - July Royalties have Been Donated to @SafeHaven4Cats #shelter #cats #nonprofit

Thank you to all who bought my books during the month of July! 

I've donated 100% of my July royalties to SAFE Haven for Cats, a non-profit, no-kill cat shelter & spay/neuter clinic. I decided to sponsor a cat. 

It was hard to choose, but as soon as I saw Vancouver, I knew he was the one. I'm crossing my fingers he gets adopted soon.

If you want to throw some good out into the world, consider donating your time, pet supplies or a monetary gift to your local shelter. Every little bit helps.
