Too much to do!

Day49
I spent about 7 hours sending emails to Humane Societies and animal shelters today! There are so many!! And once you start finding them they never stop, they just keep linking to more and more list of sites. Those fuzzy animals sure have a lot of friends!

Day50
Oh, my goodness! I found a site that said it has links for over 8000 animal shelters – dare I open it? I’ve already spent about 4 more hours sending the “no breeding” emails out today! Also sent ads to other countries and two more to Craigslist. One “no Road Rage” to LA and the “My Daddy dressed me today” section to NYC. They are already showing up on my statcounter!
One of my gifts from John for Valentine’s Day was my own domain name! So now I can use http://www.givitup.com Certainly shorter! Now if I decide to do another website I have it.

My "no breeding" campaign

Day48
A friend who is on the board of our local Humane Society suggested I do “no breeding” and promote it to the different Humane Societies around the country. So I created that section today and did a little research and wrote this press release:

Online store "givitup" has items, which allow Humane Societies, Animal Shelters, and just people who love animals get the word out to stop breeding.

Everyday over 70,000 cats and dogs are born. There can never be enough homes for them, therefore over five million are put to death in shelters across the country each year, with millions more dying homeless and unwanted through starvation, disease, automobile accidents, abuse, etc.
Puppy mills are places of over breeding, inbreeding, minimal vet care, poor quality food and shelter and the killing of unwanted animals.

February is spay and neuter month for thousands of Humane Societies around the world. They are getting the word out that neutering your pet is not only good for you, neutered pets have better temperaments, it's better for the pet, they live longer healthier lives, and for the community, communities spend millions of dollars controlling and eliminating unwanted animals.
givitup has "no breeding" buttons for a fun promotional item for centers staff and volunteers.
The shop also has t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, mugs and more.

I also created a “no drama” section today thinking the teen girls would like it. Sent it to a couple My Space groups, but only one person has clicked on it so far.
