My friend Michelle and I hosted our second annual Christmahannakwanzaastice Charity Party for
Animal Trustees of Austin this past Saturday. Our theme was “wine and cheese”. Over 30 people showed up with donations of food and litter (and a carrier!!) for ATA and the animals they care for (we provided the drinks and snackie-poos; gotta get ‘em in the door somehow!). All my cats (Zaph and M and Rose) were neutered at ATA and my dog (Hogan, seen in the picture above) had his heartworm treatment there. And Michelle’s six dogs and one cat… don’t get me started. Fun was had by all and four lucky people won door prizes - a gingerbread man kit, an ATA calendar, a bottle of wine with wine spouts, and a bottle of champagne. By the end of the night we were exhausted and way toasty, but for what a reason! Next year we’re doing “beer and shots”.
