Before we left the shelter, we stopped by the Friends of the Shelter store in the lobby and bought a toy for Teddy's birthday (of course), and a "Shop for a Cause" pass for Macy's. If you are local (Columbus) and you need/want to shop at Macy's on Aug. 23rd (that's this Saturday), you should stop by the shelter and pick up one of these passes. For a $5 donation, all of which goes to Friends of the Shelter, you get a pass that gives you 25% off all regular, sale and clearance priced items (except electrics, watches, furniture, mattresses, and rugs--those are 10% off) all day, and it even includes designer brands that are not usually included in Macy's coupons. Whether you use the shopping pass or not, you're still giving $5 to Friends of the Shelter. I'm not sure whether I'll use the pass or not, but it's almost fall, and I do start thinking about boots this time of year...
So, I hope you had a nice birthday, Teddy! I can't believe my Little Yellow Puppy, who grew into my Big Yellow Dog, is now 10 years old! Love you love you love you!
