| Gidget, one of the dogs currently available at the Seattle Animal Shelter |
Well, today, I saw them and was feeling particularly appreciative. They donate their time and their energy to make sure that these dogs get some extra love and exercise. I wanted to tell them "thank you". I wanted them to know that they are appreciated for all that they do. I wanted to give back.
I don't have the time or a regular schedule to volunteer jogging with the dogs, but I do have a skill that I would be happy to donate. My baking! I decided to make sugar cookies that I could bring to the shelter and give to the volunteers. So tonight, I put my mixer and my oven to work and made these cookies, and tomorrow I will write a thank you note and deliver them to the shelter.
Awww...that was so very nice of you to do that. :)
ReplyDeleteAs the volunteer lead for the Get Fit with Fido program for the Seattle Animal Shelter, I just want to thank you for your wonderful note and cookies! The shelter staff and all of us on the Fido team were incredibly touched by this gesture. We've been running the dogs 3x a week for about a decade now and get to see first hand how many wonderful dogs find themselves orphaned for no fault of their own. And we are thrilled when we show up to run and find that one of our "favorite" is no longer there - because it was adopted out to a forever home!
ReplyDeleteThank you again for your thoughtful gesture!
Awww...you just warmed my heart...and made me hungry for cookies! I know the volunteers are going to feel extra grateful and enjoy your delicious cookies. Thanks for the inspiration -- I am ready to pass it on :)
