A couple of posts ago I offered to let my readers spend some of my money.  A few took me up on it but it seems not everyone saw the offer.  In the post titled “Animal Lovers Unite” at   http://grumpyoldtrucker.com/animal-lovers-unite I offered to donate a dollar to  TexAltaRescue for every positive comment made on that post before the end of August 2010.

Now some of you may have thought a dollar wasn’t worth your while, but let’s look at it this way.  If posting a comment took you three minutes it would be like earning $20 an hour.  If you accomplished it in two minutes it would be like earning $30 an hour.  Has anyone offered to pay those kind of wages recently.

I know, I can hear you saying, “It doesn’t do me any good.”  Well of course it does you good.  That is if you care about the well-being of animals at all.  Just think, if just fifty of my readers post a comment to that article and cause me to donate $50, that means over a months worth of hay for a horse this winter, or enough to feed all 50 cats on the farm for a week, or all 14 dogs for about 2 weeks.

So you see when you add things up, a couple of minutes effort on your part can go a long way to ease the burden at TexAltaRescue.  Of course, more is better too, and if you’re inclined to be even more helpful, donations are gratefully accepted of any size from anyone.

In case you missed the instructions for contributing here they are again:

Thanks to the internet It’s now easier than ever to make a donation. Either through your online banking or via PayPal you can send donations to:  texaltarescue@gmail.com care of Rose Salyers.

Or if you have questions or comments you can direct them to that email address as well.  I know some people prefer not to use their credit card online so just send an email to the email address above and Rose will be happy to provide you with her regular mailing address.
