Happy holidays!

Introducing my new family member, Kyllikki the rescue dog. She would like to remind everyone that this is a great time to donate something big or small to help our animal friends. This tiny dog was brought into my life thanks to Kulkurit, a responsible rescue organization that does great work for the homeless dogs in Romania. You can donate to support their work here. Another charity I’d like to bring up is Animalia. They work hard to achieve better rights for ALL animals, including the ones we often forget. Here’s the link to donate. Thank you all, have a relaxing week!
