Pet Pins opened their "doors" just a few days ago, but already momentum seems to be building. Pins are being sold, there is now a facebook page to keep the world up to date, they have e-mail petpins@gmail.com, a paypal account for receiving $, and publicity has begun. The crew is getting along pretty well with only a few road bumps. They tested the door to door market in our neighborhood with great results. They had their first media request for a news interview, and there is now a public relations person who has offered to help.
It is somewhat problematic to let little kids run with a project like this. We are trying to keep them off the e-mail until it is previewed, and although they can reach the facebook page with permission, neither of us is good just letting the kids have free access to facebook. Jilly complained today that they are, "doing the work without any technology." Tough noogies kid, safe is better.
They visited an adoption event today and gave their card and donation to another rescue group. Angels on Wheels Animal Rescue. This group pulls animals from high kill shelters and other tough situations and fosters them in private care until they are ready to be adopted. All of them enjoyed that very much because they were hands on with the animals. It is exciting to spend time with the kids when they are excited and engaged in something outside themselves. I could not be more proud of their dedication!
