♥Dog and ower donate one million dollars to shelters♥ Would you?

Think about it. Think about it long and hard. All of us love our dogs and several of us have rescue dogs. Quite a few of us spend time as a shelter volunteer. BUT, how many of us would donate one million dollars to dogs and cats?

Honestly, I know if I won I'd keep some for myself and my children. Yes, I would donate some and most likely to benefit animals, but not the whole sum. Yes, the woman is a doctor and, yes, she has a lovely home; however, I don't know many wealthy people who would donate their entire winnings.

♥I am Holly♥ said...: What a story! I would love to give away a million dollars to help all animals! To be honest though, if I was ever lucky enough to win any money, I'd probably keep some for myself and my animals and donate alot of it but not all of it. If I was rich, I would give all of it!!; November 27, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Deborah said...: She was very nice to do that, more than nice. Extraordinary!
If I had a lot of money and didn't need it, I would give it up. I'm sure I would. All the money in the world doesn't buy happiness but it can give some good help to a worthy cause!; November 27, 2009 at 11:24 PM
River said...: My mom loves this story but for her, she'd use it to build an incredible home for old beagles rather than giving it away. Okay, she says she would give some away. At least I know I'll have a home when I'm old. Yay!

love & wags,

♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥ said...: We heard about Dr. Papides and his win and subsequent donation of his prize - just absolutely amazing and inspiring. He and his family are truly a rare find in today's world - kudos to them for their spectacular generosity. What goes around comes around - they will be rewarded greatly for their kindness.

A MUST read for everyone

Friendship isn't about who you have known the longest, but about who came and never left your side~unknown

Dominique Annabelle

The last words of a very intelligent dog

Before I go, I just want to remind all you pups and kitties to always have plenty of love for your humans even if they might be grumpy. Sometimes they get caught up in all sorts of things and take us for granted. That doesn't mean they don't love and need us. Also you humans, remember why you have us around. If you are feeling stressed out, pet us. It's been proven to lower your blood pressure. Also keep lots of treats handy. And for everyone, enjoy life. Always take time for walks, frisbee and CAR RIDES.

And one last thing for you humans. If you are considering adding another dog to your home, think about giving one of older dogs a chance. We don't chew up your shoes, pee inside (well, not unless we really can't help it) or need lots of training. Plus you will have a very loyal friend for the rest of our lives. ~Domi, the therapy dog, 1996-2009

Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table." - Matt 15:27

I have a firm belief that each and every dog has been placed on earth as a gift from Heaven. Sadly, not all dogs have the opportunity to be as treasured as they deserve. The breadth of what dogs can do, and have done, for mankind is astounding - breathtaking. We owe them great debt and we owe God our resounding - THANK YOU! M.Sullivan

The House Dog's Grave by Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) I've changed my ways a little; I cannot now Run with you in the evenings along the shore, Except in a kind of dream; and you, If you dream a moment, You see me there. So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door Where I used to scratch to go out or in, And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor The marks of my drinking-pan. I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do On the warm stone, Nor at the foot of your bed; no, All the nights through I lie alone. But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet Outside your window where firelight so often plays, And where you sit to read‚ And I fear often grieving for me‚ Every night your lamplight lies on my place. You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard To think of you ever dying. A little dog would get tired, living so long. I hope that when you are lying Under the ground like me your lives will appear As good and joyful as mine. No, dears, that's too much hope: You are not so well cared for as I have been. And never have known the passionate undivided Fidelities that I knew. Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided... But to me you were true. You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend. I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures To the end and far past the end. If this is my end, I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.
