I thought this was a wonderul idea!!  But I think I might vary it just a
little!  Headed to Vegas this weekend and am hoping that I get to visit at
least one of the shelters out there!  I think right before I leave the
hotel-I will stick a ten in a dollar slot and give to the shelter whatever
falls out!  (Unless of course it hits the jackpot-*sly grin*)  Or maybe
I'll do the quarter slots?  How about roulette?  Any suggestions?  And what
if I lose, you ask?  We'll just have to see how my luck runs that day!!
I'll let ya know!

Had to put my two cents in here, too!  I think it's a terrible idea!
Take one in-educate the class-but as a classroom pet-I DON"T THINK SO!
(again-just my opinion!!)
 
And one more while I'm at it!  I think donating money/time/knowledge-or
whatever- is a completely and totally personal choice!  You just have to
do whatever you are comfortable with.  People give in different ways-if
you can't give money-give time, if you can't give time-share knowledge!
It's seems to me that's what this list is all about!
