But I will send it without fail tomorrow and it should arrive by Friday latest...I'm sure the "dog motel lady" has a lot on her plate running the business, but I also look forward to seeing the "up-dated bill"...I anticipate good results!!
Thank you! I see we are still waiting for the website to update....
I am sure we haven't run over yet, and appreciate your donation!
I emailed the owner and gave her a link to this thread too! I'll let you know when I hear anything!
Hey, Hair! Have we heard anything today? I've been away from the computer for most of the day.
We are still waiting for news of the latest totals....
I suspect we'll hear something soon...
A whole slew of checks came in today. I haven't had a chance to update the web site but I think we are about $50 away from clearing the bill. I will have it updated by close of business tomorrow. Tell everyone on the list Thank you and not to send anymore money. Any overage will be sent to the Hatchers with the names & address of all the donors.
Thank you all and God Bless each and everyone of you!
Lisa
Hey! Just got that, too!!
Let's start a new campaign...Lisa's husband is in Iraq...let's urge her to compensate her family for her 15% voluntary discount to help our efforts. That runs about $166.00...let's round it to @250.00.
I know she thinks that all the xtra money should go to the Hackers, but I think (and I am not speaking for them, although I know in my heart) that they would want her to be made whole for her time and loving care!
Can we bump and get Lisa taken care of, too?
Don't worry, folks...we just want to fairly compensate her for her business, her time, and her love.
To clarify...we don't need more money...we just want Lisa to make herself whole.
That is my proposal.
I'd be willing to contribute my donation to that, once we get the bill paid.
Hair and 2Jedis, what do you think?
I guess what I was trying to say was that Lisa should get her usual fee...and maybe a little extra.
The extra money???
I'm gonna give her some time to update the website this morning before pinging everyone.... it's great news!
Oh, my goodness! I'm just sitting here speechless! I just logged back on to the thread to find this!
"Don't send anymore money." LOL
Ok, here is what I think about any overage...
I think we should let Lisa make her contribution and here's why. I didn't bring it up because the kennel bill was so high and I really just hoped to get "some" of it paid, to take the burden off the family. However, Andy's folks, Chris and George, also had a cat they had to board with their vet. I don't know any more than that, but I think any overage Lisa gets should go to the Hatchers to help pay off that bill (and possibly others that we just have no idea about.)
Lisa's 15% off is her gift to the Hatchers...just like the ones we sent...she wants to do it.
That said, I do think that when all is said and done, we should do SOMETHING to thank Lisa. Any ideas? She has this thread link and if we want to surprise her, Freepmail me!
It is great. I'll ping everyone when the website's all updated! I know many will want to see how well it turned out.
I think that's a good idea. I bet even more come in today and she might be able to include those as well.
I think this calls for a shimmy!
You and Hairofthe Dog have mail!
Your tagline, I see a lot of problems but NO solutions.
Vouching for 2Jedismom.
She really is a troop support nut. She was with me at the beginning when we were sending packages to Chaplain Kircher with the 101st Airborne at Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo, and then went independently crazy.
As a Mom of 2 Jedis, however, she can't blame her unhinged mental health on me. Her sweet kids drove her crazy long before I met her.
Cheers!
