Thanks for posting the link AJ! Even if you can''t bid.... you don''t know who you may have just informed about what goes on at Puppy Mills. It is just deplorable and I am thankful that Gene has put up such a beautiful stone for a worthy cause.

It''s my pleasure Loves Vintage and CCN -

CCN, exactly that was my thinking behind it.
PS gets alot of traffic and this thread has had over 400 views already.

Looks like I''ve been outbid

I thought I''d give this thread a bump and see if we can get some more bids for this worthy cause!!

 

[arjunajane]

aw, sorry you were outbid DB

But at least we know that means more $ for the pups right?!

Cheers for the bump

 

[FrekeChild]

Well it looks like it''s over! I hope that it went to a very worthy home...

And what a great cause, considering I have two mutts, both rescues, and they light up my life everyday. Major kudos to Gene.

I would not be surprised given the number of pet-lovers here! What a lovely thing of Gene to do. Puppy mills are truly horrifying

Beautiful color!!

It''s wonderful that it''s going for a good cause.

 

[arjunajane]

It would be lovely to know if a PS''er scored it, but either way glad it gained lots of exposure and went for a good price

Time to fess up....it was me! I bought this beauty in memory of my late mom and her love for animals. We grew up taking in all kinds of animals that found their way to our house. We also adopted from the Houston SPCA many times.

I''ll let you know what I decide to do with this beauty.....

Very many congratulations Lori. I love the idea behind buying it. I''d love to see some real life photos when you get it. It looks like a stunning stone.

 

[DianaBanana]

Congrats Lori...love the sentiment and the stone!

Aw, Lori, congrats! What a meaningful thing to do. As one who has had two rescue dogs and three rescue cats, I think the stone will glow even more now.

 

[Fly Girl]

Well done, Lori! Thanks for supporting a great cause, and you are going to love that stone.

Congrats Lori, it''s a special spinel for a good cause.
