Thank you to everyone - new and loyal repeat customers who placed bids and supported Paws, and to those that helped promote it by word of mouth, by email and on their websites - particularly -

Janet Crosby, one of the best people I have had the privilege of knowing, whose kindness and generosity knows no bounds;
Lori Flanders, a new glass artist for me, who enthusiastically plugged Paws on her website and generously offered more bones for every $5 that Bone Appetit sold (up to $50 - schweeet!);
and last but certainly not least,
Chessnoid, my bestest friend and #1 supporter for the last 20 years, who I’m very very fortunate to have in my life.

Your generosity and support means the world to me. With your help, we were able to raise awareness, raise a little money for two terrific non-profits, all the auction winners got some great deals, a few puppies n’ kitties will be enjoying new toys n’ treats, and all the pet-lovers can feel great wearing their bling, knowing that 100% of the money they paid for it is helping someone somewhere, and possibly saving lives.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you everyone.
