I ADOPTED AN ELEPHANT.

In December, I donated to PAWS, a wonderful organization that rescues performing animals, wild animals, often used in circuses or zoos or from private commercial ventures. They are often mistreated or not treated well enough and they become ill  or unmanageable. PAWS has three wildlife sanctuaries like this one in Calaveras County. I've visited before and it is heartbreaking to see elephants with infected feet, or listen to the trumpet of a new arrival getting acquainted with an old friend. It is an amazing program, just as animals are amazingly intelligent and wonderful creatures.

When I sent my check, I didn't know I was going to be adopting Iringa and African Elephant. I knew I was going to get two tickets to their next open house and since my daughter-in-law Laurie moved to the county and is an elephant collector, I thought it would be something we could do together.

They even sent me a short biography of Iringa. I'm sure I'm not the only one to adopt Iringa, because it is very expensive to feed and house these animals, not to mention the vet care.  If you are of like mind, go to the web site, pawsweb.org, find out when they have an open house, and come support this wonderful program

Due towards the much lower interest levels on military cash withdrawals and the resulting decrease
of profit, it can be a lttle bit difficult to locate a cash loan center that military cash advance super real you tend not to desire to
get yourself in the suffering position of relying
upon pay day loans to satisfy many of one's daily needs and expenses.
