First off, Albert and I apologize profusely for the lack of posts on the blog since I returned from NYC. We have a good excuse though...we were busy planning our First Annual Kristmas Keg Party which was also a fundraiser for Big on Beagles!
We're still counting the beagle bucks, but it's looking like we raised in and around $500 for the beagle rescue! My goal was $1,000 (hey, you have to go big or go home!) but Adam and I are absolutely thrilled that we were able to gather together such amazing friends, colleagues and neighbours at our home to celebrate the true spirit of the holidays.
Our very good friends at Steam Whistle Brewing donated the keg and I want to thank Chris Goddard for being such a lovely and awesome human being.
Albert really enjoyed the party too! We were a little nervous that he might be overwhelmed by all of the people, but he quickly found his confidence and inner rock star, and he spent the majority of the evening receiving rotating pets and snuggles from our guests.
Our good friend Ron (pictured above) even brought the beagles some doggie gingerbread cookies from their favorite store! (Ron was also our biggest donor I might add, in loving memory of his beagle Digby...how much do we love Ron???)
We still have a lot of beer left in the keg (well...not if Adam gets his way :p) and a shrimp ring in the fridge. We're thinking we'll do Keg Party 2 Electric Boogaloo tonight to see if we can top up the beagle fund :)
PS
Another shameless plug for the Big on Beagles donation link. (Remember to select Big on Beagles in your fund designation) You get a tax receipt! 100% of your donation goes toward vet care for the dogs being rescued! Trust me...giving to such a worthy organization feels AMAZING...you should try it!
