LILY’S BASSET BUCKS IS OVER – READ BELOW!

IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!

Howllo Fellow Hound and math lovers: I am pulling my hair out trying to come up with the same figure twice on my Lily’s basset bucks total. I just counted it again and I came up with 918.00 vs my original 944.00. All of the bucks are in as of today! Here is the link. I will be forever grateful for a third party counter.

GRAND TOTAL FOR LILY BUCKS

Thank you!

More checks issued soon! Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Very close grand total for Lily’s Basset Bucks!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Lily’s Basset Bucks Lovers:

I was absolutely thrilled with the response for this fund raiser. I started this fund raiser with a Vlog and I am ending it with one. This Vlog is about 10 minutes long. Yawn! Even I got bored with me! hehehe

The great news is that we raised about 944.00 dollars. I am still waiting on one more donation and someone to double check my most excellent math skills. All of this should be complete this week and then I will write the checks or paypal the rescues that signed up. I will contact each one of them individually.

I loved this fund raiser because it was so simple. All the basset bucks can really add up as you can see!

Plus the added bonus of me Vlogging!

So, here it is folks!

More Later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. Remember it is about 10 minutes long and I tried to make it quick! Chaps and Emma do make an appearance! Slurp

Here are the basset hound rescues that signed up for Lily’s basset bucks!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Basset Rescue Lovers:

Below is the list of basset hound rescues who signed up for the Lily Basset Bucks Give Away!

I am very excited about the money we raised as a town to help these wonderful organizations. Without volunteers, like the people who run these shelters where would our needy, homeless hounds be?

This economy has hit people hard and we are hearing more and more about the family pet that is taking the hit. It is really sad.

“Moving” has always been among the top reasons owners list for turning in their pets to a shelter. But this crisis is affecting even those who’d never dreamed of giving up their pets. Owners forced to sell their homes don’t have many options. They may find themselves sharing scarce space with friends or family, or dealing with landlords who’d rather accept the tenant who doesn’t have a cat or dog. Suddenly, there’s no room in their life anymore for a pet.”

So, thank you to all basset hound rescues! I hope to help many more in the future!

Lily’s Basset Bucks – rough total

Cat — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:24:28 +0000

Howllo Fellow Hound and Basset Hound Rescue Lovers: I did a rough tally of Lily’s Basset Bucks and it looks like I have collected about 825.00 bucks.

I will do a re-count and ask some kind math lover to double check me. Marty Mays are you out there? Hehehehehe!

I hope to donate 100.00 to each of the 9 rescues that signed up. That is my goal.

I am going to the post office today to see if I have received any more bucks in honor of my upcoming birthday! ROFLOL!

My birthday is Sunday folks. It falls on Father’s day this year. I can think of no better gift for Dad than some Lily Bucks donated in Dad’s name. Don’t cha think so?

More begging for the bassets later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

Remember Lily’s Basset Bucks?

Howllo Fellow Hound and Lily’s Basset Bucks Lovers: Well, my year long fund-raiser in Lily’s name ends in 8 days, on June the 15th, 2008, my 51st birthday! Yes folks, I am going to be 51. There, I said it! LOL!

I would love for you to send me a card with a dollar in it! I would love for the Lily’s Basset Bucks fund-raiser to go out with a bang.
Send your dollar to:

Cat, the birthday girl, P.O. Box 347 – Ft. Thomas, KY 41075

I am going to be updating this topic all week with Lily’s totals and featuring the different rescues that signed up.

Here is the video I made almost a year ago about Lily’s Basset Bucks. I will be making another on my birthday to read the totals and wrap up Lily’s Basset Bucks. It was great fun! I hope to help many more hounds in the future.

More fund-raising later…Cat pictured 15 years ago with Lily (ATB):(
