A Place to Bark and Meow -- Animal Rescue Blog by Bernie Berlin

Friday, January 18, 2008

There are no words...

"Love is a force. It is a result; it is a cause. It is not a product; it produces.

It is a power, a power for good, but it is valueless unless it's released."

-Diane Morrissey

Sorry, for the disappearance..

The last few days have been non stop.

Question: Is it normal to eat Fritos and French Dip for breakfast and a Coke to wash it down:)

((giggles))

Yesterday we took in a bunch of pups.

Today I was up at the break of dawn, getting everyone taken care of and then off to a farm.

The sweet people I went to visit today, were sent my way via a friend.

They were chopping firewood and came across an old abandoned building.

Under it were 11 puppies:( Pics to come next week, forgot my camera.

I went over, wormed, vaccinated and Frontlined them.

Bless this family for they will foster them till I leave to transport on the 31st.

Then I was off to the pound. By the time we left there were only 2 remaining.

It still tore at me, that we had to leave them behind, but I am really at full capacity (again) can only take in what I can handle.

Will still try to make room for them or find a foster home.

We have over 50 dogs here right now... Eeek:(
Lots of pups, but still that is a ton of animals.

They will all go north on the 31st, but till then it will be a race against the clock, daily to care for them.

I've never been one to be at a loss for words, since I've always been the gabby type..

But truly there are no words, Thank You, just seems inadequate..

All I can say, is you are all Amazing and should give yourselves a pat on the back!!!

Good deeds, acts of kindness and love will always come back to you threefold.

Just to clarify a few questions that have been sent to me, via my website:

Q. Do you get to keep the donations after the contest ends?

A. Yes, all donations that you see on the badge are given to A Place To Bark in full.

No matter whether we win or lose, the "Zoline Foundation" will match all donations to 25k.

Q. Do you take in cats?

A. Yes, we do take in a limited amount of cats. Notice the "Meow" in the blog name:)

Last year we did about 60 cats.

It is harder for us to find homes, so we only take in small numbers.

Q. I live overseas and cannot use my charge card, it won't recognize my address.

A. Paypal has been working for many of my overseas friends.

Click the orange donate button and it will have a Paypal option.

If you don't have a PayPal account you will have to sign up for one.

I know it's a hassle, but every ten dollar donation gets us closer to winning.

Every donation helps us save another animal..

Q. Do you get paid a salary?

A. I am not paid, nor do I take money from my rescue.

I put much of my own personal money into it.

So many, many, many, of you have taken "America's Giving Challenge" to heart and posted it to your blogs and websites.

I would love to connect you with other artists of like mind, so if you have posted our badge, leave a comment and let us know your sites so that others can check out you blogs and you can be acknowledged as part of our circle of animal loving people!!!

We have come so far in such a short time that it is just a true miracle!!!

Now we can't slow down or stop thinking our spot is safe and secure.

I'm sure the last week of this contest, it will just go crazy.

So we have to keep spreading the word every day, for the next 14 days so we can get far enough ahead that it will be impossible to catch us:) I know we can do it!!!

The whole concept of six degrees is so true!!

Please bear with us for the next couple of weeks, I'm sure we'll get annoying, but this could be the most amazing thing, if we win and you will be able to watch it all unfold thru this blog:)

So many of my artist friends want to come out and paint it, to donate artwork to decorate it and we have had some offers of handmade beds, pillows and blankets.

A really nice article was published in our local paper about our rescue, will post it in a few days so you all can read.

Tomorrow I will be working with Claudine on a post, to "Thank" soooo many, for their generous donations to our drawing, so there will be more goodies!!!

We just want to make sure we don't leave anyone out.

I really wanted to try to make my "Thank You" a bit more personal, so I did a YouTube.

I get really nervous on camera and sound like a geek, but just know I did my best to say, I'm humbled by the outpouring of donors and am forever grateful!!!!

Will post again VERY soon!!!

Keep the excitement going!!!

COMMENTS:

I'm so excited for you, Bernie! I've been posting on my blog and sending emails to everyone I know and posting on various message boards I chat on. I know every single donation counts and I really, really hope you get the grant. I love that you and your artist friends are donating art. You all do some cool stuff! Thanks for everything YOU do and I'll keep plugging away! Love the video...and the pups! Is that the adorable Dugan being so curious about the puppies? Too cute!

Hi There Bernie,
I left a donation and stuck your badge on my blog. I'm Cheralyn from Australia. I recognized you as I have "Artist Trading Card Workshop" and LOVE it. I love my Gypsy Rose (my Boxer) so much and think the work you are doing is that of an angel. Good Luck from Down Under! xx

It's up on my site (http://threedogmom.typepad.com), and following your progress has been heartwarming! I had to put my beloved golden retriever, Logan, down this week, and have asked everyone who has known and loved Logan, and all of those who have expressed their heartfelt sympathy to me, to donate... oh I hope you win!

Great to see & hear you on your blog Bernie! All the dogs around you are so cute. If I did not live in a one room apartment, I would take them all! When the little white dog started barking, my Chihuahua Abigail came running in the room barking :) She says hello & keep up the great work. Hugs, Jessica

Thank you for doing work that so many of us wish we could do! I figure that the least I can do is to help support you in doing it, so I signed up to give monthly. Whenever I host a chunky book swap, we make a book for you and the animals. (I'll be sending three for the next auction and will take the photos for you!) When this contest came along, it was so easy to put it on my blog, send the link to my friends, and post about this to my groups. My friends Julee and Rita have done the same.

The world of mixed media art loves you. Tell us what you need, and if we can, we'll do it!

Hi Bernie-

Congratulations on all the donations!! I am so excited about the prospect of a new shelter. I have 2 questions
1) Somebody already asked this, but can I make donations in other people's names ( such as my kids, etc) using my pay pal account, and will that counts as unique donors?

2) who is the cute white dog with the curly tail in your video, and is he up for adoption?

Thanks--Clare
