The holidays are about giving, and my Santa went above and beyond the call of duty. My dogs are a big and furry part of my life and it breaks my heart that there are good dogs out there without homes, warm beds and nightly cuddles. I do as much as I can, but it never feels like enough. Santa sent a local animal charity $100 which will go SO far in helping the great people there save animals that would otherwise be homeless.

There are many of us who wish we could save them all. Thanks, Santa, for giving a few more animals a shot at their forever homes. Next time I'm there dropping off donations, I'll give one of the dogs a good belly scratch for you.
