paws without pads - a success

the big day finally arrived. after hundreds of hours of work over several months, my friend charlotte's efforts were made real this past saturday. with the help of dozens of local businesses and volunteers, about 20 dogs were helped today.
a groomer, located downtown loaned both her shop and her services for the entire day and a business next door opened their doors as well to allow a staging area for the visitors to pick up a variety of items for their furry friends. every owner was given a large bag which they could fill up with a new collar, leash, food, treats, shampoo, flea treatment, and even toys. the animals left clean and their owners left with a smile on their face. the volunteers well, we left exhausted, but with the knowledge that we made a difference today. this was so gratifying.
our local channel 6 news came by and interviewed charlotte (she did amazing). take a few minutes to watch this newsclip and it will be sure to bring a smile to your face. i'm thankful for charlotte and for all her hard work and her vision. she turned her idea into a reality. she is an inspiration to us all. thank you charlotte on behalf of so many!! xo
