PWB Peeps: Sleepover!! [1]

Happy Friday, Peeps — Hope you all have fun plans for the weekend. Today is National Sleepover Day, and I don’t know if that is as popular as it was when I was a sprout, but of course our furred friends love the idea of pizza, TV, gossip and PJs!
But First:
And the hosting mom would have her own nap and treat
And the next day, we’d be so tired we’d fall asleep at noon at home
And snacks! It was a bit of a contest, seeing whose mom made the best snacks
(BTW, I looked up cat nail polish — there are some amazing offerings for those who like fancy nails— but also a bit appalled to find colored “caps” to put on your pootie’s claws… nope!)
There was always one kid who was not so popular (usually me)
We’d try to stay up ALL night, but for some of us that got to be too much
And of course, being in a strange house (not a usual treat)
When I was a kid, it was something to look forward to in middle school — the girls getting together for a sleepover party. The thrill of being left alone to stay up all night! (Somehow lacks that thrill now...)
BTW, it is also Food Drive for Shelter Animals Month:

May is the month for Go Fetch! Food Drive for Homeless Animals. Community animal rescue organizations often find this expense in their top two costs. This is a great reminder to help support those in the community who are making it a better place, and it is also a good time to take a look at how one might contribute to their efforts.
According to “Tails Pet Magazine”, May has been designated as a time to highlight the need to provide food for homeless animals.
They say that there’s no right or wrong way and that it’s okay to be creative. Here are a few examples given by Tails Pet Magazine:
• Arrange a food drive challenge at schools, your office, churches, civic groups, your condo building or among your friends
• Set up donation bins at businesses, schools, your office, church, temple, a local grocery store
• If you own a business, offer discounts to people who bring food donations
According to the ASPCA, nationwide, between five and seven million companion animals (mostly dogs and cats) are taken into shelters every year—some surrendered by owners, some picked up by municipal animal control services.
To care for homeless dogs and cats, animal welfare organizations are always in need of:
Dog food
Cat food
Cleaning supplies (including laundry detergent and bleach)
Paper towels
Towels
..Is there a community food bank in your area? Remember to donate not only food to help people, but dog and cat food as well. If you already support a food bank, can you give just a little more than usual during May?
