This weekend we had our annual garage sale for Paws Pet Rescue (http://www.pawsrescuepets.org/). Some of Vicksburg’s finest gave some great donations, and the sale was an overall success. Of course, I am reminded that I’m just not a grage sale person. Getting up early, hunting through junk, and haggling are not my deal. In particular, folks who haggle over $0.50 when the money is going to charity really annoy me. We had some folks come through the night before and try to buy off all of our good stuff before we even finished organizing for Saturday morning. It is hard to feel considerate for people who tell you how much work they do for animal rescue and how you should be donating money when they act the way these folks did. Grrr. However, the garage sale was a success, and that is all that is important! Plus, where else can you find a real Prada wallet for $0.25?
While at the garage sale we got to play with one of Paws' current foster dogs, Owen. Owen is absolutely a hoot, and the sweetest dog ever. He is a black lab, and approximately 11 months old. A kind man found him when he wwas about 3 months old, and Owen was in severe pain. His eye had been damaged by a barbed wire. Owen was a bit of a crazy dog. Unfortunately he lost the battle with his eye recently. Since then he has healed and become a crazy fun dog. His entire body shakes when he whacks his tail around, and he only stops wagging to sleep! He will make a great pet for some lucky family.
