And on this day of Christmas an additional donation has been made to the Calgary Humane Society in the honour of my Secret Santa.

May the pets be well this Christmas.

We foster cats through AARCS. They, and I’m sure every rescue agency, hugely appreciates any donations they get. They run such worthy causes on shoestring budgets. I should have thought to ask first that as my SS gift too. Next year.

Thats cool! Yeah, charities are tough sometimes and, I know its hard to believe, but I'm something of a cynical individual.

So for me it was great to have my sister tell me the best animal charities that she knows and trusts.

By the way, at my office my next door neighbour is a pet store, super nice guy, Dexter's Pet Store.

Animals are awesome.

We ‘fostered’ semi-feral cats one time. They were gorgeous but a real handful. ‘Fostered’ in quotes….we didn’t have a single call in the 18 years we had them. I definitely support anyone who does that.

Big thanks and a Merry Christmas to my now not so Secret Santa, TheScorpion.
I totally misread the timing of the drop off, so Oreo says sorry for the jump!

I was actually looking for Rupert's recently and didn't find it so this is amazing. Also the brownies are going to make some kids very happy Christmas Morning, and guessing you might have started a new tradition at out house.

Is he old enough to even buy Whiskey?

I remember going outside of the Pub to get his entrance fee to the CP hockey pool.

Damn, we're getting old...

Thank you very much for the gift. The spool will keep my 3d printer going for a while still. My kids will definitely enjoy the rest of the gift.

As always, the cp secret Santa's hit it out of the park.
