Day 137: Donated Free Kibble

Back in 2002, during my sophomore year of college, I adopted my dog Vinny.  He is easily the most handsome dog on the fact of the Earth and he knows it.  From time to time, I walk into a room and see him looking at himself in the mirror.  The only thing he loves more than himself, is me.  For almost 10 years, Vinny has never left my side.  When my wife comes to kiss me in the morning, she still to this day hears his growls of jealousy.  I love my dog (and even my insane cat, Karen) just the same.  The animals have never been without love from my wife and I, and more specifically without food. 

Animal shelters are amazing places.  The people that work there have such adoration for animals and are emotionally invested in seeing them be adopted.  They take such great care of these animals, some of which had previously been severely mistreated.  Unfortunately, many of these animal shelters don't have the funding to take on as many animals as they would like.  This is sometimes due to a lack of supplies to care for and feed the pets.  So, today for my random act of kindness, I am combining my love of trivia with my love of animals, and I will be donating free kibble.  There is a website called Free Kibble (and its' sister site, Free Kibble Kat) where each day you can answer a trivia question about dogs and cats, and for each correct questions, 10 pieces of kibble is donated to animal shelters around the country.  It is great to see people doing things like these sites and Free Rice, and I will be sure to utilize and bring them to all of you.  And for those wondering about my dogs handsomeness, here it is...
