Claire with Kingston & Sheffield (her cousins' dogs) in St. Charles, IL |
Claire is gearing up for her 3rd
Walk for Animals on Sunday, September 9.
Unlike her younger sister, Claire's efforts are focused on
live animals. Her passion for animals continues unabated, and visiting the MSPCA is still one of her favorite after-school activities. She's also nuts about our dogs, Ollie and Hugo. Every morning she exclaims - as if she hasn't seen them
every morning for the last four years - "Mom! they're so cute and sweet, aren't they amazing!" She also continues to insist that Ollie would make a great husband (if people were allowed to marry dogs.)
Although Claire is the instigator, we'll all do the Walk together - despite Jane's dismay at learning we don't keep any of the money, and Margot's annoyance that Claire has gotten "way too much attention" for being
featured on the MSPCA's website. If you happen to love animals, too, or if you have some money left for your charitable giving this year, Claire would be thrilled if you can
make a donation.
