I am going to match it so now we have 1 kennel and I sure hope we get more!! I will be matching all the owners donations, up to a certain limit of course.
I really hope we end up having many more. Keep ya posted. I just love Andy & Jen and what they are doing and I wish I could spend more time fundraising but that work thing gets in the way this is why I solicited at work

Good for you!!!! Dotcha just hate it when the work thing gets in the way???

As many of you might know from our posts over the years, we’re cat people. Have been for many years. We’re owned by a pair of cats who have been very good about letting us feed them, and allowing us to live in their house. Here’s a picture of “The Boys.” Rocky is the Maine Coon, and Baylee is the short hair.

Yep, they’re our “family.”

But who doesn’t like dogs? Certainly not us. Dogs are great. They just don’t fit with what was, and still is, our lifestyle. So, we’d like to help out.

Most of you will know, to your eternal regret, that my greatest vice and compulsion is collecting Hard Rock Café pins. Because of this hobby, I’m always trading and buying and selling junk jewelry from Hard Rock Cafes all over the world. Consequently, I always have spares in my “pinventory.”

So, about a week ago, I decided I’d pull some of the traders out of my bags, and list them for sale on E-bay, with the idea that the proceeds would go towards a kennel at the Peanut Pet Shelter. I didn’t mention the plan at the time because I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, and egg on my face is not my favourite look, unless I’ve just finished breakfast at La Cuevo del Chango.

Anyway, the auctions all ended this morning. Assuming all the winning bidders pay up as they’ve contracted to, the revenue from the sales will be $447. I’ll take the other $53 out of my pocket, and once the smoke clears and the dust settles, in a week or so, we’ll be sending the $500 to the shelter’s Paypal account. We hope that helps.

I’m guessing we should be able to get something like this on the plaque?

Handsome devil, isn’t he?

By the way, next time we’re in Playa, we’ll be sure to show up for wash day. I’ll climb into the tub and get a good scrub down, if that’s okay with you.

Way to go, Bumpers!!! Excellent...maybe you should request pics of the cats on the kennel, too. I'm sure the dogs would LOVE that!

Bumper That is incredible!!!!! How very generous of you to do this!! I say you deserve a scrub down and a massage!

[ANDY&JEN]

I can honestly say that since Jen and i started taking in strays , which evolved into the pet shelter we have met some truly wonderful and generous people, thank you all so very much for everything you have done for us
Claudette and Dave , its a pleasure to call you friends.

Bumper we actually have a large kitty kennel that is being built where i would be honoured to hang a giant "bumper pin" in gratitude of your amazing gift.
Muchos gracias .

Looks like the new shelter will be great! I'm so happy for you Andy & Jen that you will get your home back. You sure do a wonderful thing. I can't wait to see it in November. I'm trying to give a donation, but paypal is down right now, don't worry, I'll check back later.

I get to bump this back up to the top I am pleased to report that I have received more donations from the owners here at the Royal Palms condos this week. I have received another $150 in donations so I will match that and now we are up to $800 Way to go Royal Palms owners. Thank you all!! I am crossing my fingers that we will make enough for 2 kennels.

I hope the permit for the kennels doesn't hold things up for too long I hope to come by and see you soon Andy & Jen.

nope........ but hopefully it draws some interest from the old school Playa lovers ...... and dog lovers of course

[ANDY&JEN]

Just to keep you all in the loop... still awaiting the "permiso" to continue working, i was actually thinkink last night that maybe i was wrong and should have paid the "gratuity" to the two guys that appeared at the door last week , but then i thought nope i aint lining some guy,s pocket with other people,s money , once you start doing that they will be back every week for something else....i am sure with the help of the wonderful Claudia we will be back on track early in the week
