Hello one and all,
I know I've been slacking off posting lately. Why does life get so crazy at one time?!? Anyways, I shouldn't complain, I'm home with my family and my loving-slobbering BP.
I have many friends stationed around the world with military, of course I send them care packages and cards all the time. I stumbled across the website anysoldier.com . This is a board for soldiers to post what their unit/squad would like to receive in care packages. I searched K9 units and currently there are at least 10 soldiers (various branches) listed between Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq with K9 units with requests. Most are shepherds but there are a few Belgian Malinoises sniffing out IEDs.
Is anyone willing to help gather toys (obviously not easily destroyed), tennis balls, treats, brushes, collapsible bowls, etc to send care packages for the hardest working paws?? I have a call into the local sports store to see if I can get a bunch of tennis balls donated or something.
If you have any contacts at pet stores or anything that might be willing to help let me know. I'm trying to get at least a small box out with puppy and human treats that I have already next week.
Handlers are asking for gatorade mix, mags, candy (of course!), baby wipes, razors, blank cards to mail home, etc.
Send me a quick message if you want to help out. I can either give you my info and I'll gather it all together and send out or I can give you their info.
Thanks everyone,
Annette and Jager
