Okay, you people. PEOPLE!
I am overwhelmed. In one day (ONE DAY) you gave enough to cover Digit’s vet bills already incurred and those that are planned for the near future. We don’t have to put any of the bills on the charge card. NONE OF THEM.
How did you do it? The majority of you gave $10 and $20, and it just added up! A few people gave more, and made me literally gasp, looking at the screen.
And the thought occurred to me that I could just keep it going. You could keep pouring your hard-earned dollars into my paypal account, and Lala and I could eat sushi every night. I could get a bicycle! She could buy a windmill!
BUT. I believe you all took care of Digit because you are good, and kind, and sweet, and wonderful, and it would be wrong to take advantage of even one dollar that has been sent. Even though I really like to eat sushi. {Shoot.}
So I was going to just shut down the whole drawing today and while jumping up and down and squealing like one of our kittens, tell you that WE HAVE THE MONEY OH MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! But Lala mentioned that some of you who have yet to read this site this week might still want to get in on the raffle action, so here’s what I think.
If you still want to get in on the sweater drawing (see below for details), please do so. But from here on out, all monies raised will go to the Milo Foundation and Best Friends Animal Society. Harriet came from Milo, and I’ve been to Best Friends and I think it’s one of the best places in the whole wide world. I’ll do the drawing next week (probably next weekend, Saturday?), and I’ll let you know then how much we’ll be donating.
Dude.
I’ve been at work the last few days, and my coworkers can’t get over all this. First they couldn’t believe the Digit-man story, and then, as I posted the drawing idea, they could NOT believe that you, my internet friends, were giving so sweetly, so generously, so quickly. I could believe it, because I know the power of the knitters, but just barely, and I am still head-flappingly astounded.
So here, if you want in on the drawing, click here. $10/chance (so 5 chances for $50, etc.), as many chances as you’d like. You wonderful people, you.
