I coulda done that extra mile, for an extra bark or an extra smile

I'm thinking I might do Blogathon this year, since [livejournal.com profile] wirenth brought it to my attention.

If I do, I'll be supporting the Dogs Trust:

animal rescue button


what do you lot think? who'd sponsor me?

if I had more cash, I would. but right now's a bad time. I just spent a boatload of money on something I really needed to buy, and we're basically broke now. :[
I took a look at the Dogs Trust website and I shouldn't have. I'm in tears because I want ALL THE DOGS that are on there, and I'm also sooooo sad to see that so many of them need homes. not that I wasn't aware of it before, but you know. bah.

Cheer up. They're no-kill - the dogs still need homes but at least they're not about to be gassed because you can't take 'em home.

That's where Spike came from, that's why I'm picking them - that, and they're just very good.

whew then. I didn't think they were going to get hurt, anyway, but still, it's too bad there aren't more people who are willing to give GOOD homes to those lovelies.

If only more landlords would allow pets, I bet most of the rescue dogs and cats would have homes. I think all landlords who don't allow pets should be forced to spend a week in the local animal control shelter where they do have to kill animals if they don't get adopted soon enough in the euthanasia room.

um - no idea... I'm a bit crap at that sort of thing...

I'll look into sponsoring you...

Just don't expect me to stay up all night with you. :p

If you can, great, if not, thanks for looking into it :)

I'd sponsor you, assuming it could be done without too much effort, because I'm lazy.

Also, I just attempted to remember -- was it you that created a new journal for your pets? I know that someone did other than [livejournal.com profile] cottonmanifesto, and I thought 'You know, I should add that journal' as I was scrolling through just back from vacation, and I didn't immediately and now I forgot. Because I suck. :)

Yup - [livejournal.com profile] monochrome_mob. I haven't updated it the last few days, though, because I'm lazier...

[identity profile] danasaur.livejournal.com 2006-06-29 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooo...neat. I should add them :)

[identity profile] scifi451.livejournal.com 2006-06-29 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I will sponsor you on one condition: that we get at least a new photo set of Squish and Spike.. since I enjoy them so much.

You know I'm always spamming my LJ with my puppies :-D

those are the most recent :)

I'll sponsor you if, you know, I start getting a reasonable ammount of luck and money sometime really soon.

hey, it could be possible :D

Most of the reason I'm doing it is because I can't afford to sponsor anyone else doing it, so I'm perfectly happy for people not to. Just be around LJ on the day and help keep me awake with comments, OK?

[identity profile] danasaur.livejournal.com 2006-06-29 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Will do!
It would be cool to try to convince the rest of Smilocide to sponsor me and try to do it as well...it sounds horribly tedious and annoying!

I suspect it's going to involve a lot of very silly hallucinatey posts before we're done!

I have ADHD like something fierce (like, really. I am currently boycotting my medication because it makes my life more interesting.) so I can only imagine what would become of my mind.

I can't say I actually have it but I have tendencies that way... this is going to be fun!

[identity profile] ghost07.livejournal.com 2006-06-29 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no money, so I'm no good as a sponsor...but, if I see the word Bloathon (since I've no idea what day it will be), is it ok if I try to help keep you awake, too?

Maybe I can help that way...:D

[identity profile] ghost07.livejournal.com 2006-06-29 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
that should be bloGathon...not Bloat hon :rolleyes: my fingers aren't working properly tonight...sorry :D

July 29th. Yes, that'd be great!

[identity profile] omahastar.livejournal.com 2006-06-30 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I think I may do this too ... Care to keep me company too, Ghosty? :) I'm sure between Liz, you, and me, at least someone can last the whole 24 hours. :D



LBD - Thanks so much for the heads up on this. I had completely forgotten about it, and now I have some time to come up with things to keep me awake. :)

I daresay the piggy bank can take a few more fractures.
