Those of you that know me know that I have a huge love for animals, sometimes even more so than people. I have always volunteered time to help rescue groups but the work I did was all virtual, creating websites, helping with social media, donating money, etc. I did volunteer at my local animal shelter for a while but I really didn’t feel like I was doing anything of value there.

Well it’s not really going to rescue you or even your friends, but it does provide Animal Rescue Groups and Shelters with some much needed toys to occupy their dogs for a while. So what you say! There are many companies that sell toys for dogs, what is so special about Kong? You are correct! There are plenty of companies that make and sell toys for dogs. But the Kong company also thinks about those dogs in Shelters and Animal Rescue Groups who are waiting for [...] Read more »

Well nothing really, except that I entered a contest to win a free copy of “WordPress 3 Cookbook” over on WPMU.org that was sponsored by Packt Publishing. I actually got picked as a winner!
