Helping Hands In My Animal Charity Ventures Thanks to: My mother for constantly collecting newspapers for the shelter hospitals. Fotini for putting diamantes onto collars.

David from the Southern Courier for writing the short article, Dandy Diamond Dogs, about one of my charity ventures. Cuddles the Maltese Terrier, Toby the Jack Russell Terrier, and Andrew (the human), all from Animal Welfare League, who posed for the photo that appeared in Dandy Diamond Dogs. Katia who gathered a massive amount of pillowcases to turn into bedding for the shelters to use or sell. Sarah who donated big stacks of towels. Rosanna from Spotlight Rockdale who got me a massive discount (courtesy of her manager David) off the wadding I used to make bedding for Sydney Dogs & Cats Home. Larissa of Fernwood Rockdale for okaying my idea for what became the gym's first charity drive to raise money for Sydney Dogs & Cats Home. The staff and members of Fernwood Rockdale who donated blankets, towels, pillowcases, tea towels, doonas, cushion covers, sheets, newspapers, plastic bags, garbage bags, and a bunch of other stuff that was put to good use at Sydney Dogs & Cats Home. Maria, graphic designer and proprietor of Colourful Ideas, for creating the poster (free of charge) to let everyone at Fernwood Rockdale know about the charity drive for Sydney Dogs & Cats Home. A Special Thank You! Extra-special thanks goes to a very special family: To Kiem and Regent for making many hundreds of doggie bedding. To Big (although she's little) Mama for buying greens for homeless rabbits. To sister Sally for raiding all the $2 shops in her area for doggie blankets. The reason these guys deserve an extra-special thanks is not just because of the HUGE volume of work they've done, but they did it all without being asked. They volunteered from the start and kept on volunteering, working tirelessly and uncomplainingly. Their generosity has been both astounding and inspiring...oh, but hang on a second - I just received these photos of the dogs (see right). Hard evidence that, in fact, it's not really been Kiem and Regent who've done the sewing - it was the dogs all along! I just knew it couldn't have possibly been the humans!
