Welcome to this weeks episode of Down The Rabbit Hole! Can you believe it is Saturday and September all ready! I am thrilled that you are joining us today. You never know where each link will lead you and where you will go next Down The Rabbit Hole is also a place to give back…for every comment you make a dollar is donated to the Charity of the Week and then we top it all with a little Giveaway that also benefits Animal Rescues : ) So it is a win win win!!! So leave those comments especially TODAY because we are donating $5 a comment to the Houston SPCA on top of our own personal contribution…so leave those comments. Our friends in Texas need our help and I know that we have tons of Animal Lovers here so this is where we have focused our help! You can also donate on your own and the link is below by our feature. Anything you can donate would help them… from $1 and beyond. On the rescue front…many rescues from all of the country are stepping up to help Houston! I applaud every one of them. A big thank you to the Red Cross for being there for everyone. Let’s hope and pray that all settles soon so all of these people can get back to rebuilding their lives. My heart is with every pet that has been misplaced…my wish for them is to get that chance on a second life. Let’s help them out ok. Love to you all and thank you for being who you are.

September 4, 2017 at 7:13 amHi there sweet Laurel…how are you. I know what you mean…I have spent so much time in tears in this passed week…any helping hand is a good thing! They need so much and people seem to be rallying to the call. One of our Shelters have gone down to pick-up a bunch of furry friends and we are getting a collection of items to get to them too. Sure hope things in your world are good! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful day!

Hugs and wishes for a wonderful day.

September 2, 2017 at 1:49 pmWe had some minor damage from Hurricane Matthew, but I can’t even begin to imagine the scale of Houston’s devastation. I hope that everyone will make donations to the Red Cross. It’s so great to see that you’re helping!
Andrea says
September 4, 2017 at 6:57 amHi Beverly! How are you. Always great to see you. I know…we went through Hurricane Sandy and there are still places down the shore that have not finished rebuilding. It’s a real horror and my heart bleeds for all the people and animals! We are going to continue to do whatever we can to help. If everyone does a little something…it will help so much. Thank you for being you! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful day.

September 4, 2017 at 6:53 amYou are very welcome Lynda. My heart bleeds for everyone…but you know that our soft spot is animals and they need SOOOOOOO much. A Shelter near me here in Jersey has taken a large group of doggies and we are collecting for them too (St. Hubert’s Rescue). I hope and pray that they can get well and find fabulous forever homes. Sending Hugs and Love to you and wishes for a wonderful day!
Linda Weeks says
September 4, 2017 at 10:00 amMuch gratitude for all of your efforts with animal welfare..! I appreciate it, and a lot of folks are glad that their animals may be saved after all this hurricane excitement. I can’t imagine how anyone could manage in such circumstances… keep up the good work!
Andrea says
September 5, 2017 at 5:27 amLinda…my heart bleeds for these animals and of course the people. I can’t imagine!!! We had a taste of it during Sandy…but fortunately we only had a tree go through the house and our yard was a disaster…power out for 2 weeks…but we were all safe and NO FLOODS in our area…we are in North Jersey near NYC and we are high up..but I saw what went on down the shore and we even had a friend that lost their home. These national disasters are horrific and I just wish I could make them all go away…no one deserves to go through this. My thoughts and prayers are with them all and we are going to try to help wherever and however we can! Sending you tons of hugs and love!!! Wishes for a wonderful day!
Debra says
September 4, 2017 at 11:50 amGreat line-up! Did you know Jonny Justice was not only the 2014 ASPCA Dog of the Year, but he also won Gund’s Top Dog Photo contest. You can buy a stuffed of him; I know it’s on Amazon.
Andrea says
September 5, 2017 at 5:22 amOMG!!!!!! You will never believe this Debra…but I have him right here in my hands now!!! I just bought it for a friend of ours baby to be…they have an adopted Pit Bull named Angel and I thought it was a perfect gift!!! I LOVE IT!!!! Yes..it is on Amazon…that is where I got it!!! Sending you tons of hugs and wishes for a picture perfect day!
Robin S says
September 4, 2017 at 5:22 pmThank you for reminding us all about how fortunate we are to have our family (including our pets, of course) and homes intact. As I become older, I realize how many blessings I have that I’ve taken for granted most of my life.
I hope you and your family are doing well; I think you all are amazing!
Blessings,
Robin
Andrea says
September 5, 2017 at 5:16 amHi there Robin…how are you. Sometimes we do take things for granted…we always think that everything will be there tomorrow…but times like these show us that we have to appreciate and treasure the moment…it is so important. I won’t leave the house without telling everyone I love them and that includes BIG HUGS for the pups…I give them so many hugs they are like…oh Mommy…enough lol!!! We all have some burdens but the blessings out weigh them. I wish you and your family all that is good in the world : ) Sending Hugs and Love your way and hope you have a wonderful day!
