And the winners are ...

Hi, everyone ... MP here!  And the results of Finn's Comment-A-Thon random drawing are in.  Our thanks to everyone who commented ... though we didn't reach our goal, we actually got a lot closer than we thought we would.

So here's the deal.  As most of you know, we (er Finn) were pledging a dollar a comment up to $100, to be donated to a shelter or rescue group of the random winner's choice (all those who commented were entered one time for each comment they made).  Since we didn't get to the one hundred comments (in fact, we got only a little more than halfway there), what we decided to do was randomly draw two winners.  Each of them will have a donation made in their name (or the name of a special dog, cat, or person of their choosing) to the rescue group or shelter of their choice in the amount of $55 (which is the total number of comments received).  

And those winners are:  

love and a six-foot leash

AND 

In Black & White

If you are one of the winners, please email me at tuckertellsall@gmail.com and give me the name and contact information for the rescue you would like your donation to go to.  I will then contact them to see what the best and easiest way is for them to receive their donation.

Watch-Cat Wednesday

Hi, everyone ... it's me, Tanner!  (Yes, two days in a row!)

And just in case anyone doubts my Watch Cat abilities ... let it be known that I am watching over Mom even when she's at work.  See?

Think someone needs to clean off her desktop?

And here's another reminder ... we have ten days remaining and 66 comments to go!  So leave your comment HERE with the name of a shelter or rescue group you would donate to if you are the winner of our random drawing.  This is a chance to present the shelter or rescue group of your choice with a donation of up to $100 which we're doing in conjunction with the Back in Black Adoption Event. 

Tanner-ific Tuesday

Hi, everyone ... it's me, Tanner!   And on this rainy Tuesday, I am keeping watch at my window for ... well ... I'm not really sure.  But whatever happens, I'll be ready.  Because I am a watch cat ... and I NEVER go off duty!

P.S.  Oh, yeah ... Finn wanted me to remind you that we are 68 comments from our goal and we only have ten days left!  So leave us a comment HERE with your name, how to get in touch with you, and the rescue group or shelter you would like to donate to, and if you win the random drawing, you'll get to give up to $100 to that rescue or shelter!  Finn is doing this in conjunction with the Back in Black Adoption Event

and he really wants to give away some of his toy money to help other kitties, and dogs, in need.  Help him reach his goal, please.  (He's kind of a crybaby when he doesn't get his way.)

Working Dog Wednesday

Hi, everyone ... it's Tucker & Phoebe. We're working hard today ... but frankly, we're not sure why Mom always seems so stressed out.  Working is really not that bad.  See?

Hard at work.  

Anyway - we're pretty busy right now, so we'll sign off.  But don't forget to leave your comment HERE to enter Finn's drawing ... you can win up to a  $100 donation in your name to the shelter or rescue group of your choice!  Finn is doing this in conjunction with the Back in Black Adoption Event:

Back in Black Adoption Event PLUS How You Can Earn Money for YOUR shelter or rescue group!

Hi, everyone ... it's me, Finn!  Mom and I were talking last night, (as we like to do ... ), and she happened to mention that she had heard of this great event sponsored by Best Friends that promotes the adoption of black cats (and dogs).  From now (actually the event started on August 15th, but Mom, as usual, is a few steps behind the times) through September 17th, if you adopt a black dog or cat at one of the list of participating shelters you can find here, you will save 50% off the usual adoption fee.  Mom personally feels that it's almost blasphemous to put a price tag on a living being, but she also thinks it's a great idea to promote more awareness about how much harder it is for black dogs (and especially black cats) to get adopted compared to cats and dogs of other colors.  I agree.  So today's post will be devoted to this event, and also from now until the 17th, we'll be spotlighting one black dog and one black cat each day along with whatever else we post about.  

Now ... what if you want to help not just black cats and dogs, but any cats and dogs in your local shelter or rescue group who so desperately need it, BUT ... you can't adopt one right now?  This is a situation that a lot of animal lovers find themselves in, because the truth is, the plight of homeless animals is bigger than any one person ... and as much as people like my mom might want to ... you can't take them all in.  So here's what we're going to do.  Now through September 17th, tell your friends  (in the Blogosphere and IRL) to stop by and leave us a comment with their name and the name of the shelter or rescue group they most wish they could help ... and on the 18th, we'll enter all the names into one of those Randomizer thingies, and then we'll donate a dollar a comment (up to max of $100) to the winner's shelter or rescue group of choice in the winner's name.  So spread the word ... and don't forget to leave YOUR comment!

Now, take a look at these Black Beauties Mom and I found at Petfinder.com!
