The Nerak Beads Charity is now the Peanut Pet Shelter & Kennel!!

Effective immediately, the charity being supported by the sale of the Nerak Beads will now be:


Andy and Jen are doing such GOOD WORK in Playa by saving, housing, nursing back to good health, and then re-homing to loving homes so many pooches in Playa, and they are so deserving and in desperate need of every dollar that can be sent their way. (Click on the link above to learn about the Shelter.)

So... going forward, for every Nerak Bead item sold, I will be donating $1.00 to this wonderful, loving cause. And each time I send a Pay Pal donation to the Shelter with those dollars, I'll also be sending a special kiss to doggie heaven to sweet l'il Peanut. I'm so glad I got to meet the little lovey!!

Hey, whatever you want, Amy, the monkeys will get it together for ya!!

I was thinking.... (which usually gets me into trouble since I'm just not USED to doing that... ) that maybe peeps who've e-adopted a pooch at the Peanut Shelter & Kennel might want a little "sumthin" to have at home with their pooch's name on it. Maybe a personalized necklace to hang off their rearview mirror or drape over the corner of their bedroom hutch.... that kind of thing. Or maybe something with their "in-house" pet's name on it. And there are lots of different bead colors available (there's a list of them in the "Classic" link in my signature), so creative peeps can feel free to "do their thaaaang"!! Put simply, Nerak Beads aren't just for Playa - you can create whatever you want for whoever or whatever you want.

If anyone has questions about ideas or pricing for custom work, just drop me a PM.

But no matter how small or large the item or the order, $1 per item will be donated to the Peanut Shelter.

Just PLEASE cut me a little slack over the next couple of weeks, okay?? I'm mooooooving next weekend, and I've gotta eventually pack up them thar Nerak Beads for their trip to the new house, as well as continue to pack up all the remaining stuff that hasn't been packed yet. (Gawwwd, I'm tired!)

No thanks needed, Andy (besides... it was the monkeys' idea).

I thank YOU and Jen for doing what you do each day: saving and loving and finding new homes for all those doggies lucky enough to find their way to your loving arms!!!

Thanks for vowing to stop beating up those kitties, Anna!! As for sweet Rosita being harrassed by the cats.... have you thought perhaps you should stop dabbing that "Aroma de Catnip" behind Rosita's ears every morning???

No, Anna!!! Cats LOVE catnip!! I figured you were dabbing some it behind Rosie's ears each day, and that's why the kitties were attracted to her!!
