I know for a fact that at least one of my readers has sent money to John to help with his dog, Kane's surgery.  Thank you!  Between those who have contributed to my Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure (I still have about a grand to go, and I need to raise it by Aug 20th, so if you have been waiting to contribute, now's the time.), and those who donated to Kane, I am really pleased with our community.

Those of you who wanted to donate to Kane's surgery and haven't yet, there is a new development:

Kane's cause has come to the attention of a Doberman-specific charity group, and they have set up a tax-deductible fund.

Here is the announcement at John's blog.

If you want to donate and haven't, you can donate here, and it will now be tax deducible.

If you can't donate, then you can still click on that link and get a look at Kane's smiling face.

No one can give money to every cause every time...so don't feel bad if you can't.  Those of you who are keeping afloat, and taking care of your families, and keeping to a tight budget so you can take care of you and yours...that's noble as hell.  Keep up the good fight.

I don't put these things up here so that people will feel bad if they don't contribute, but instead so that people will have the opportunity.
