Blind Leading the Blind....

Morning, everyone.  A very good Monday to you.  Hope you all enjoyed your weekends.

Came across a really great story depicted on THIS youtube clip.  Essentially, a blind man's seeing eye dog began leading him astray and he found out that the poor dog was having vision problems and needed immediate care.  Check out the video and see what happens...don't worry...its a happy ending.

For those of you who don't know....we often run fantastic comedy benefits for needy animals.  Our last benefit at Gotham comedy club was a great success....a sell out, actually.  We raised some great funds, gave away some awesome raffles, but we still need your help.

Our next show is coming up and we need you to come!  Tell a friend(s)!!!

TTYS,

And Now....Let's Go to A Check of Our Weather...

Know what I want to be when I grow up (I mean really grow up)?  I want to be a weather forecaster.  Think about it.  What other job in the world allows you to speculate, be totally off, and still collect both respect and pay?  I have to look into this....big time.

Why do I start off this way today?  Well, it's supposed to be raining right now, but instead, thick clumps of snow are accumulating all around on lawns, roads, and cars.  I just went outside and where I just did some shoveling a few minutes ago is completely filled in again.  Snow...sigh.

Anyhow, let's get that to brass tacks.  With the weather being dismal, it might be somewhat hard to get your dog the normal exercise it generally does.  That being said, I dug up THIS ARTICLE which will give you some tips and suggest some movies you can watch with your dog.  That's right, I wrote movies.

Another suggestion for today could be for you to dust off your calendar and make a point to write in the date of February 23rd, the time of 8pm, and the location being Gotham Comedy Club on 23rd st. in NYC.

There will be some awesome comics there, great drinks/food, and proceeds of tickets go directly to helping dogs in need.  There will also be some sweet raffles for you guys to take part in.  You gotta be in it to win it!

A Call to Arms....

Am I really up at 9 a.m. on Sunday?  What?!?  Its probably because I slept the majority of Saturday after a fun New Year's Eve.  Well anyway, good morning, fine readers.

Every morning I try to deliver the best in terms of this blog and sometimes everything flows amazingly and other times my fuzzy, under caffeinated brain struggles.  Today, I'm kind of in the middle, but I do have something simple to bring forth.

I know I've mentioned how much our supporters mean to us.  You do.  Incredibly important.  Without you, there is no us.  Its that simple.

That being said, I thought about reaching out to people who have "In's" with certain businesses, service companies, etc, and wanted to illuminate another way you can help us in our mission....by sponsoring our events or donating products/services to our raffles.

If you're one of these ultra-cool, well connected folks and believe in what we're doing and want to help, please don't hesitate to contact me (Carl Catania) at: stewiepr@gmail.com .  It'd be very appreciated.

Also, if you're someone who likes to have a good time and enjoy some spirits, we've got something awesome happening this week.  Come on down January 6th at Fiddlesticks in NYC.  CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE EVENT.

Anyhow, Sunday has spoken....back to bed.

TTYS,

Help is a great four letter word.....

A hearty good morning to all of our friends.  Its a crisp Saturday morning that's ripe with momentous possibilities.

You can throw on the old winter coat and go to the park.  You could get a posse together and accept the challenge of shopping at your local mall.  You can watch Netflix, order chinese food, and be a shut-in all day.  So many options.

Another option could be lending a helping hand.  As you folks probably know by now, Stewie to the Rescue aim's to make a difference and and we couldn't do it without your support.  You are the life-blood that makes the Stewie body tick and we more than appreciate that.

That being said, we are often asked by friends and supporters what can be done in helping us with our mission.  Well...there are a few things:

• Come to our fundraisers and bring your friends – We make it fun to donate by sponsoring trivia nights, wine tastings, and monthly comedy shows, where the proceeds go towards funding our mission. Please join our mailing list on our home (link) page to find out about upcoming events!
• Donate an item for one of our raffles – We raffle items at many of our events. It’s even tax-deductible!
• Volunteer to foster - Stewie will pay for all of the pet’s expenses, including food, toys and grooming! Write us at stewietotherescue@gmail.com if interested.
• Create and run a fundraiser.  Are you an artist or photographer who can create portraits of pets?  Do you manage an event space?  Know someone who owns/runs a winery? Again, contact us at stewietotherescue@gmail.com with your ideas. 

 Please take the time on this potentially awesome Saturday and help out if you can.  As far as four letter words go...help is one of the best and we totally appreciate all of it from our friends and supporters.

Thanks and ttys
