Mardi Paws deserves our gratitude for making the Happy Barksgiving celebration a resounding success this afternoon, bringing joy to our animal friends.

We were privileged to lend a helping hand to some humans. The delightful meal served at the event included rotisserie chicken, yams, and green beans, topped with their kibble.

The animals' euphoria was a sight to behold, and we apologize for the less-than-ideal photographs, which were compromised by the presence of stray cats seeking to join the festivities.2 dogs ate not pictured.

We look forward to serving them again on Friday. It was a heartening sight to see each animal relish every last morsel of their meal.

As we come together with our family, friends, and colleagues to celebrate, let us also spare a thought for the animals currently residing in shelters, who harbor the same desire to become beloved members of a family.
Blessed paws, grateful heart, Mardi blessed. Mardi Paws

She like Dutton and millions of shelter pets, spend their days waiting on their forever family..
I often wonder what they are thinking... wondering where are their people.... Why they didnt come for me...When can I go run till I cant run anymore and play. Sleep in a soft bed.
Darla has an amazing hew family to make great new memories with. How amazing is that. Thank you LaDonna Hawthorne for making ALL of this possible from sharing her post, picked up and made a special delivery and to the Lavespere family...thank you for giving Darla a wonderful new life.
