I'm hoping to remain calm today. Our newspaper article received A LOT of attention from our little community. My phone rang off of the hook yesterday. Anyway, looks like there is more interest than I thought, and we also have another person wanting to set up a booth!! I've been so lucky, while I've been organizing this whole Celebration Pet Day event. It's the first charity event that I have organized completely on my own. I've helped with a lot of others in the past, but this one was my dream, my brain child, my heart. I've heard that there's a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday, the only day out of 14 with a chance of rain!!! ARRRGGGGGGHHHH!!! So everybody send good thoughts, fairy dust, prayers, and wishes my way. The Weather Channel's PetCast says it's only a 30% chance, but the local stations are not saying quite yet. I don't mind if it's cloudy, but I'd like for the rain to stay away. I don't want people discouraged from attending. It's supposed to be hotter than H*O*T today. They say that we are flirting with a record high for this time of year. I think it's supposed to be nearly 90 today with a much higher heat index, because of the high humidity. YUCK!! Looks like we are in for a miserable summer. Bear decided last night that we would jog on our walk. I can't believe that he kept the pace up for the entire 3 blocks!! I was drenched by the time that I got back home. I guess Bear must have been trying to get a good workout to drop some of those extra pounds he gained!!
