Week 85 - Rescued Critters Food Drive

Hi Folks,

Lots of room at the PACC Inn The stories are true, more than 75% of the animals at PACC are in foster care around Tucson. Also cash and food donations are up. Just look at and perhaps study the two photos below. Notice that there are no doggy shadows on the floor for the entire line of cages. And now only the food and treats are held prisoner.

Maybe it’s time for you to think about fostering or adopting a pet. This covid-19 situation is not going away soon so adding a four-legged, tail wagging friend to your family will definitely help you focus on what has to be done to get through this life-altering predicament.

Hair dryers, vinegar, boiling water, they just don’t work. What does work is spread out before you. Cloth strips, preferably sweat shirt or thin dish towel material. Clean dry rag. Bottle of GOO GONE. Plastic bag to protect the table top. Small container to hold the soaking strips. Rubber gloves, recommended by GOO GONE. STEPS Cut up strips the width of the different size pill bottles. Three or four inches is a good length. Pour a little GOO GONE in the container. Dip the strips in the container. Wrap a strip around a pill bottle completely and place it on its side for 10 minutes or so. Wrap the rest of the pill bottles and place them on their sides. Gloves on again, unwrap the bottles and easily peel off the label. Wipe off the glue and GOO GONE residue with a clean rag. Place the pill bottles in a plastic bag and put them near the front door for Sunday pickup. Ed's Stash is helping jobless folks in the neighborhood get by Delivered two envelopes to my friend Ed this week and that cash went to help folks buy diapers and food for the dinner table. Also. Ed’s neighbor a few doors down pitched in this week. There’s not much to think about. If you have a little extra cash and you want to make a real difference, drop your donation off to Ed on Miles Street. He has the iconic white lawnmower displayed in his front yard. Or I can make the deliver for you. This week’s donation was 346.4 lbs. of pet food and $55.00 in two checks. In addition, there were 27 non-sticky pill bottles. See you Sunday, Peter
