Saving the world! One Dog at a Time

Passion. It's a word my friend Monica uses when she talks about her kids. I admire that. She has fewer kids.... But to the point she makes a good statement. She would like her kids to be passionate about something. Not the best, not the most elite, not the favorite, just passionate.

Passion means you care about that thing all the time. Not just when you are winning, not just when it is fun, but on a level that makes you WANT to devote your time to the cause. Ava happens to be the 9 year old daughter of the friend I mentioned above. She is passionate about animals. Namely: rescue animals. She reads books about puppies, she volunteers to walk dogs, she does camp at the humane society. She does not have to be the best at this, just has to care a whole lot. Because Ava is a really close friend of my daughter, Ella, she is now drawn into the cause. Passionate people do that. They make other people care. These two little girls, with some help from a few fair weather siblings, want to do something that will make a differnce in the lives of animals.
Here is where you come in. Over the next few weeks I will be posting on the status of their new business venture. They are using their own money to buy supplies to make pins for their cause. Remember the old friendship pins? These are similar, but color coded. I hope to have sample photos up soon. They will be selling their pins to donate funds to the humane society. Ava has special furry friends there that she wants desparately to see adopted. Our goal is to start with a kick-off pin sale day where the girls both sell locally, and online. After that pins will be available ongoing, and open to special orders. These are not kids wanting to make a buck, they are donating every dollar of profit to improve the lives of rescue animals. Stay tuned for your chance to help them.
