Write a Post, Help a Dog

Write A Post, Help a Dog!

I saw this on Books and Things blog http://melissawatercolor.blogspot.com/  and just had to help out.  I have two beautiful Weimaraners and love them so much.  It always makes me so sad to see a homeless animal and I wish I could take them home.  Well at least this is one way we can help.

Deets:

Pedigree is resurrecting is insanely successful Write a Post, Help a Dog program. In 2010, 391 bloggers wrote about the program and with each post, Pedigree donated 20 pounds of its Healthy Longevity dog food to shelter animals. In all, 7,820 pounds of food was donated to two shelters renowned for their care of senior dogs: Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco and Castaway Critters in Harrisburg, Pa.
