Third Annual Pawcurious Blogathon
Twenty-Four Hour Long Fundraiser for Animals in Need
2:00 pm Saturday, November 12 – 1:00 pm Sunday, November 13 Central Time
on Many Fine Blogs Near You
Elizabeth from Nebraska Humane Society: “What should our goal be for Blogathon 2011?”
me: “Five million dollars and every pet in the world, present and future, in a loving home forever.”
Debbie of Fearful Dogs: “You need to start dreaming bigger.”
And so it begins. Mind you these goals were set today. Dr. V of Pawcurious is the mastermind behind Blogathon and works long and hard behind the scenes every year to make this a success. At least, I assume she does more prep work than I do. Even so, today we were working on a Zombie Giraffe that we both just assumed would fit into Blogathon somewhere…
And, see? It does! If you ask Dr. V or me to draw you ANYTHING, we will, for a donation to any participating Blogathon cause. Oh, who am I kidding? Dr. V said “zombie giraffe” and the next minute I was at the art store shopping for drawing paper and grey Sharpies. I will draw you anything you want just for fun. What would you like??
Dr. V is blogging to raise money for a great San Diego wildlife sanctuary, Lions, Tigers and Bears. Also, apparently in San Diego this weekend, there might be zombies. I am blogging with a WONDERFUL group to raise money for Nebraska Humane Society. More info to follow! Every hour for twenty-four hours starting tomorrow at 2:00 pm in fact.

Hi Shawn!
I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to participate. in Blogathon this year but a friend asked me to care for her animals while she is out of town and I don’t have a laptop so don’t have access to a computer while I’m at her place. Thus, no hourly posts! I do think Blogathon is a wonderful idea and look forward to participating in the future.
That being said: Where are YOUR hourly posts???
;-)
Hi Dr. Kay! That is ok! My hourly posts will be here at Riley and James! So when you do have a computer, come say hi! :D
