My daughter has an extremely huge heart when it comes to animals and when she was informed that not all pets have homes or families and they live at shelter she wanted to know what she could do to help. She decided, after watching Mommy, to sell her things on Etsy and donate her earnings to the local shelter.

Bovine Bubbles and Hogwash Ltd will also donate 10% of our monthly sales to this wonderful cause.

Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature and Old Man Winter that it is May 6th today. Yesterday it was +23, right now at this moment it is 0 degree with a windchill of -6 and this white s**t wont stop coming down. I know we needed the moisture but rain would have sufficed.
