A Big Win and a Good Cause

February 7, 2010
I’m stopping back in this weekend because I just had to share about a great prize I won a couple weeks ago. Macy (my pug) and I won a giveaway on Elizabeth Anne Designs. I honestly have no idea how I get so lucky!
The prize was customized stationery from Lydia & Pugs! I started following the site when I first learned about it on Owned by Pugs, the best dog blog out there. Dawn does beautiful customized artwork of pets and I won the opportunity to have a customized design on note cards. Since Macy loves popcorn and the couch, we combined the two. I received the stationery this week. Just look at how cute it is!


I also wanted to take this weekend to tell you about the organization I’ve decided to support through my half marathon coming up the end of March. I love animals and I wanted to find an organization that helped both animals and people, preferably something more local.

I found what I was looking for with Pawsibilities Unleashed. This non-profit out of Frankfort, KY trains service and therapy dogs for people in need. I’m happy to be raising funds to help train and raise a service pup.

I’ve set up a fundraising page on Give Forward. If this is a cause that happens to be important to you as well I definitely appreciate any contribution. I’m 40% of the way to my goal!

    Macy is such a star and now she’s immortally rendered in art! Congratulations on winning such a fantastic prize and all the best for your cause – I understand that it’s so expensive to train just one dog and yet their service is priceless.
