I have a confession. I love dogs. I know I mostly write about my work at the San Francisco SCPA as a cat volunteer, but I grew up in a dog lover’s house. A Maltese-Spaniel mix, an mutt of no definable lineage, a poodle mix, a Miniature Schnauzer. Those were the dogs in my life before I discovered my inner-cat.
Guests Dancing at the Bark and Whine Ball
Two weeks ago, I was asked if I’d be willing to help out at the SPCA’s Bark and Whine Ball, which benefits our Cinderalla fund,which helps homeless cats and dogs receive urgent veterinary care when they need it. I looked back at my years and volunteering, and wondered how I could not have ever offered to help out at this important event.
Two Guests Greet Each Other On The Red Carpet
Well, I wasn’t disappointed. The production behind the event was truly amazing. Everything, from the red carpet entry by the hundreds of guests to watching a wonderful band play while guests danced with each other – and their dogs! It was the most fun I think I ever had at a fundraiser.
Even with all the fun, it was also quite a bit of work. I don’t think I sat down for over five hours. Still, the good natured spirit of the event, and knowing that the funds generated will benefit the neediest homeless animals made it all worth it.
