Hell-o,
Dory, Arty, Bilbo and Jakey invited all to a bloghop for our furfriends in need
NO TRICKS JUST TREATS FOR SHELTERS
You can read all about that event here and there is still time to hop in…
My grampy still donates the tip he gets for being a tourguide to the local shelter. He started in 2005 as the beloved family dog Terry went to the Rainbow Bridge. After all the years, he became a fixture of this shelter somehow and as long as he can, he will donate his tip or food he bought for his tip, to help the pets in need.
I thought I will do something too and I started in 2014 to donate a part of my piggy bank every year to a special organization in France. It’s the Brigitte Bardot Fondation , FBB, who is there to help animals. We picked FBB after a blogger-friend, who sadly doesn’t blog anymore, landed in hot water. The plan of this blogger-friend was to live a peaceful & simple life in the rurals of normandy, with having animals and some ecological agriculture. In theory that’s possible, because politicians spent a lot of moneeh to create empurpled EC directives what’s pure music to our ears…. till we notice that this music has ginormous mistunes and that all the theory goes downhill in the field and mostly you go downhill with this theory. Therefore the lifeplan failed, the blogger-friend had to give her farm animals away, what were no cattle nor meat stock but pets. The only one who was there and supported her with picking up her animals was FBB and after she knew that they were in good hands, she could start to rearrange her life.
We sadly couldn’t help this friend, but we can help those who helped her. With a donation every year what makes it possible to help others…. and who knews who will be the next one who needs help…
HAVE A GOOD SATURDAY ALL
… oh and last butt not least…
Easy, you have a great grampy, peeps like him are very rare and special! Please, give him an extra dog kiss from us here in faraway Finland.
Kosmo and his mom.
That is a sweet idea for your grampy to donate his tip money. All shelters are so in need and so deserving for the difficult work they do.
Love and licks for all of you and grampy,
Cupcake
We totally agree. Your grandpa was a very special person. The shelters are always in need of EVERYTHING! Toys, food, treats, blankets, cleaning supplies…you name it! There are so many good dogs in the shelters that need good homes!
It sad that shelters are needed for unwanted animals. Even in our remote community, we have need for one. So, my boys put aside 20% of their newspaper earnings to donate at the end of the year and I match their contribution. People are often not aware about the other items needed like food, towels, old pet items (still in good condition leashes, collars, food dishes, litter trays, etc.). Hugs to your grandpa for setting a wonderful example to those who follow.
Such a wonderful gesture from your grampy. We adopt our cats from the shelter, even did that in Germany, and we also donate food and toys a few times a year.
Your Grampy rocks Easy, but you knew that already pal!
What wonderful ways to help anipals Easy!! How wonderful of you and your Grampy to help out our friends in need!!!
Thanks so much for hopping with us!!
Smileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
I love you for helping animals! 😚 I think every donation I make is to animals one way or another.
Easy your Grampy is the best! And you are a good pup!
what a good heart!
What a lovely idea to pass on to FBB to thank them for taking all those lovely sheep! That was a very sad story.
I sadly never heard from her… hope everything is ok… she was a good person and she never deserved such sad times :o(((
Do you do Facebook? Have had a few exchanges there and will pass on if you do. Very sad.
yo. I do …I will send you a request :O)
Easy
Terry was a most handsome WFT…your Grandpa is very nice to donate his tips in Terry’s memory and we 200% agree FBB is a wonderful organization and you and the staff are very generous to help them.
Logs of Hugs madi your bfff
I agree. Find and support good, responsible shelters and rescues and find your furry friends from these places. They’ll both love you forever for it.

That actress was an animal rights activist before it was a popular thing. Kudos to her for starting such a foundation and double kudos to your grampy giving his tips to the cause.
Thanks for being a friend

We are giving your GrandPa 8 paws up fur doing DOUBLE Good. AND we give YOU and your mom 8 fur all that SHE does too. BRAVO GOOD JOB.
It seems your Grampy passed on his good heart to his offspring. We are sad for your friends that their grand plan could not work out – it sounds like it was a wonderful one. We’re so glad someone was there to help them, and that you still support their helpers now.
Sometimes we can’t help people the way we want, but that doesn’t mean we don’t help.
Excellent donating Easy. That poor lady believing in the govt. and then it falling flat. I don’t know about the govt. at times. They are no real help to us ordinary folk.
I don’t know if we’re brave enough for a before and after picture.
Shoko and Kali
You and your Grampy are pawsome to help those furiends in need!
hugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Mabel
You’re a hero for helping and paying it forward. Bridget Bardot..hubba hubba! #starstruck
Sounds like a great organization. I’m sorry your friend had to go through that.
What a wonderful Grandpaw, Easy! I am sorry about your friend who lost her animals, but at least the FBB was able to help her.
What a wonderful grampy you have, Easy. He has a heart of gold.
You and your grandpa are both doing great things for rescues.
Millie & Walter
So sorry for your friend, but glad FBB was able to help her animal’s. Your Grandpaw is a wonderful person and I can see he has passed his wonderful ways on to his family. You’re the best, too!
Helping shelters is a needful thing. Many people go on hard times they need help. Wish your friend could have received help without losing her babies
thank you for what you do for the animals.
Way to go, Easy! It’s good to remember shelter pets. We love the Bridgitte Bardo Foundation and all it does for animals. We are helping a no-kill shelter in Denver for our part of this campaign.
Double Pawkisses for the Goodhearted ❤ ❤

That is a sad story. Stupid politicians.
