Blog Posts Return!

Me (upper) and my little brother, Toby, trying to get some sleep. Of course, I was in the bed myself and he barged hiw way in..
Hey Gang,
Alas, after weeks of battling Blogger because our posts were disappearing after about one hour - we are back in business!
We'll lots happening around the kitchen.
We gave away over 3,000 pounds of food in the last two weeks or so - much of it to the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society. We are very proud of this, in particular, because they are doing such good work with their food bank program and need all the help they can get.
We also received a generous grant from The Ryan Newman Foundation - and for that we are both repairing the delivery truck and starting up the Pawtraits Project (I'll explain more about that in a future post).
We super-excited about this phase in our little organization. We're hoping it propels us forward and helps us to grow. As many of you know, getting donations (of both food and monetary donations) is a very tough task nowadays. Believe me, Daddy and I see this just about everyday. Times are very tough for so many wonderful folks.
We are putting out heads together and trying to come up with new, exciting and creative ways to raise more funds and turn our pet soup kitchen into the best, biggest and brightest in the entire land! That way, we can fill as many bellies and wag as many tails as possible.
Now that the blog/website is back in business - I'll be posting regularly - promise.
Love & Licks,
Gabe

Nearly 1 Ton...That's right...

Hey Gang,
I'm not trying to brag here or anything, but something is about to go down in our Pet Soup Kitchen that's got my tail waggin' - Big Time.
We are proudly about to donate nearly 2,000 pounds of dog and cat food to Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society for use in their shelter as well as help them with their own Pet Food Bank. We are so thrilled about this because we know this food is going to get gobbled up by kitties and pooches that really need it.
Also, We've got some big news coming around the end of next week! Can't say just what it is yet, but it's big and it's going to help wag lots of tails and fill lots of bellies...
Love & Licks,
Gabe & Daddy
