Weimaraner Wednesday

I know, I know...what has taken so long to give an update on how Weim and Cheese went, right? Well....we are catching up on things now. We will start by saying THANK YOU to each and everyone of our friends who donated items to the event. The rescue ended up raising $14,000. I know that sounds like a lot of money but just last year we spent $13,000 just on boarding. We rely on donations and our adoption fees to keep the rescue running.

Mom had so much fun bidding on all the silent auction items. They even got ONE bid in on of the live auctions for a William Wegman signed print. Mom laughed and knew she would never win it but at least she got to hold up her paddle at least once. Nice try momster.

This was the great program that was put together. Mom's name was in the thank you section for her help with the rescue to. :)

Dad won a green I-Pod Nano (thanks to all who donated their Coke caps for the year, mom ended up cashing in for 2 I-Pod Nanos, an I-Pod touch and some other Coke items).

Mom won a really cool Wegman bag, pillow, autographed William Wegman magazine and a Colley's collar (she only really wanted the collar, haha).

Mom couldn't afford one of the big Wegman prints in the auction so she won this baby Wegman. Maybe one year we can get a real Wegman. BOL

She won this HUGE bag filled with goodies to

Then mom got this great idea, that the bag was big enough "I bet Sagira would fit in it".

Yep mom, you're funny...I fit in the bag

Mom also got a t-shirt for helping them run Weim and Cheese. Aren't these cool?
