Amber @AmbiePam (93898) • United States 24 Apr

Traceyjayne I think it it was for her family pet that's one thing , but, if it is for rescue animals ...I think if it were me, I would try and arrange some fundraisng events and get the money that way.

Traceyjayne We have several bird feeders in our garden ...although just every day birds visit us. We do think that a squirrel may be visiting as well though as a bird feeder is often to be found knocked to the ground.
