A Surprise!

While I was at preschool this morning, mama got a wonderful surprise at our homeschool co-op. One of the moms said that her (very young) daughters wanted to give her something before she left. Mama was pretty puzzled...

So, at the end of co-op, they handed mama a little wooden treasure box. The little girls had decorated it so beautifully! The treasure chest was full of money these little girls had collected over the past few months just for my dog. They did lots of chores, and as one of them said, "We worked SO hard!" She was so cute! What a blessing this is for me, as all the donations have been. And what a wonderful witness these little girls are, demonstrating that one is never to young to make a huge difference in someone's life! Thank you, dear friends!

Drum Roll, Please...

And the grand total for my fundraiser is...$1,331.05. Mom's giggling at the $.05...every penny counts! Mom's sending out specific thank you notes to those of whom she's been made aware. If you didn't send in a check, we don't know who you are, but are extremely thankful for all of your donations. At this point, $1,655.13 has been raised for my dog. That means only $344.87 to go...that's NOT much at all!!!!!

One More Week

One more week for the fundraiser at Aunt Shelly's work. Aunt Shelly called today and said that $813.00 has been collected this far, and that does NOT include the $500.00 that will be matched! So, as of right now, the fundraiser total is $1313.00. With the money that has already been collected...we are only a few hundred away from finishing! Yahoo!

Fundraiser Update

Aunt Shelly just called and gave me an update on the fundraiser they are doing at her work. So, far, almost $400.00 has been collected. That means, almost $800., because her work is matching up to $500.00. That really puts me a lot closer to finishing my fundraising. Thanks to all who have donated.

A Step Closer

Another funds update from 4Paws (see the ticker below). Thank you to everyone who has donated. Mama will thank you each when she gets home. Every penny counts for my dog. When Mama and Daddy get home, they will have to start the video of me, my house and my family so 4Paws will know just the right dog for me. We're all hoping for a goldendoodle, but we'll just have to wait and see. I'm very excited for September 1st when the fundraiser through Aunt Shelly's work will cease...I'll be even closer to meeting the fundraising goal!

Fundraiser Opportunity!

Mommy just got a call from Aunt Shelly and her workplace is going to do a fundraiser for me! Here it is...donations will be sent to her workplace and they will match up to $500.00! And, this group is also a non-profit organization, so all donations are still tax deductible. They will collect money until September 1st. Then they will send one big check to 4Paws. So, if you are interested in donating, please make your check out to Women's Life Club 611 and be sure to put Laura Miller Fundraiser on the check. Mail your check to:

On our way...

I received my first donation update today from 4Paws and I have almost $80.00 so far. A good start, but I still have quite a bit more to raise, so if you're interested, please donate so my puppy can start training.
