I don't know if any of you Listers have heard of it, but "Freecycle" is a nationwide moniker aimed at people who want to donate/receive things that they don't want/need. I have given away older crates, dog blankets, bowls to rescue groups and private individuals. If you put "Freecycle" into a search engine, you'll find a local chapter, I'm sure. You can meet a lot of great people, donate/get useful items--not just dog stuff. I gave away a brand new soft top to my Jeep Wrangler and a practically new solfa bed. As my kids in school would say, "Freecycle is da bong." Penny in NY ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
