why not donate it
why not tell them thank you but my son already has one and let them either redraw it or donate it? Or maybe you could donate somewhere like a senior center/nursing home or a place for youths?
He's *gorgeous* with a pedigree to die for. sm
I'm jealous! ;o) BTW, the win he had under judge Kathleen Kanzler (Innisfree Siberians) is very impressive. She and her daughters are very well known and respected in Siberians. It was her dog that won Best of Show at Westminster (in 1984, I think it was). Try not to get bitten by the show bug.  It's a whole other world.
I hope Sasha likes him so he can live with you!
Ah, caught the peek up there. nm

that would be birdy and peek LOL
where's the spell check! :)
Donate the food.
In our area we have "Aid to Friends". Find an organization in your area. They usually provide foil containers for home-cooked food. After dinner, have the family do a service project. Fill the containers and freeze the food to be donated to shut-ins.
I got a peep/peek hole to see first....nm

treats
when I get up in the morning and sit down at my desk my five cats come and gather around me, they each get 8 treats (probably too many) and then they don't get anymore that day, that is the one time only, they know that and they do not ask for any more until the next morning.
I meant playing peek-a-boo with the flight attendant..c'mon now.
Just a joke. This kid was too big and she refused a blanket. I have nothing against people breastfeeding infants in public, discreetly. However, for toddlers, I say bottle it, please.
He treats you like that and you are worried about where he

Beefy Dog Treats Recipe
 I don't have any dogs, but I came across this recipe and thought it appropriate for the season for dog lovers. Here goes....
1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
1/4 cup war water (110-115 degrees)
1 tsp beef bouillon grnules
2 tbsp boiling water
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 c nonfat dry milk powder
1 c whole wheat flour
1 c cooked long grain rice
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 jar (4 oz) vegetable beef dinner baby food
1 egg
2 tbsp veg oil
In a small bowl, dissovle yeast in warm water. In another small bowl, dissolve ouillon in boiling water. In a large bowl, combine the all-purose flour, milk powder, wheat flour, rice and gelatin. Stir in the baby food, egg, oil, yeast mixture and bouillon mixture until combined; knead until mixture forms a ball.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface, roll to 1/2 in thickness. Cut with a floured 2 in bone-shaped cookie cutter. Pleace 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 300 degrees for 25-30 min or until set. REmove to wire racks to cool. Let stand for 24 hours or until hardened. Store in an airtight container. Yield: About 3 dozen.
P/S: Don't mix them up with your cookie exchange for peeps!!!!

let me tell you about shelters...
I am middle aged. I gave up a good career to care for a terminally ill father and brother with cancer. This went on for years. I lost everything I had. I had to live in a shelter for women afterwards until I got back on my feet.
I too used to think people who lived in shelters pretty much brought on their own misfortune. Some of them did. Some didn't. I met women who were disabled but could not live with remaining family members because those members were high on drugs and stole their meds. I met mothers with children who could not return to family because the children were being molested by other family members. I met young women trying to get away from a spouse who had become addicted. I met women who could not get public assistance because they didn't fit into any "category" that qualified for help. They tried in various ways to work themselves to the bone in order to get out and stay out, going to school full-time and working part-time as well. My admiration for the female human spirit was raised tremendously.
If I won the lotto, I'd search out the private shelters, those run by churches, etc., and offer to help those who could not get assistance otherwise in whatever way they needed to better their lives so that they would never, ever have to live like that again. If you live in a shelter, it is assumed by the public that you have an addiction problem or have lived an immoral lifestyle. It just isn't always so.
Does anyone know shelters who don't....sm
automatically kill pits? The fact they kill twice week, mostly pits, makes me ANGRY. They automatically assume if it's a pit then it is dangerous. Well this is my dangerous pit. Doesn't he look vicious?! LOL
I'm sorry, but what do you expect the shelters to do? sm
I worked in an animal shelter for over two years. We go a lot of feral cats in at the shelter. If they were somewhat friendly, then yes we usually put them up for adoption under the title of "good barn cat." If you can't get near them, then there really isn't anything to do BUT to put them down. There is no use endangering the people at the shelters OR the other animals at the shelter with a cat that has been wild too long to tame. JMHO, sorry if it irks you.
Believe me, I am a HUGE animal lover (hence the reason I worked at the shelter for so long). I don't like to see any animal suffering, but sometimes it is necessary. 
What do I expect the shelters to do?
I am not their boss so I can not say what I expect them to do, not up to me. I only do what I can do. I don’t know where you live but here the animals are not kept in so called shelter for 3 days, then put down. This place kills animals twice a week, mostly pits. I don’t take animals to shelters because here the outlook is very bleak for them. I do what I can helping out the furries. What the shelters do is not up to me. Where did you get the idea I expect the shelters to do anything??
We have adopted several pets from shelters

Great dogs at shelters
There are so many wonderful dogs at shelters. I always say, the only bad thing about a shelter dog is its previous owner! There are lots of mixed breeds but plenty of purebred dogs, too.
Shelters are overflowing these days (more than usual) because of the number of people who are losing their homes. I've heard stories of people moving out of their foreclosed house & just leaving the dogs behind...terrible. Especially for older dogs, who are so hard to find homes for.
Agree....that's why so many end up in animal shelters abandoned...

Whether full pit or mixed pit, loads of shelters will NOT
let them be adopted out. I was at a shelter the other day, lady came in wanting to retrieve a pit her daughter had taken from her home in a drug bust. The person was told could not let go, it was a pit and the woman said but it is not full and the answer was NO difference, mixed, full they are a danger to society and the people who would adopt know this. The shelter has sign on door (pits have green signs on their individual place) and the sign says no pure or mixed pits adopted out. Don’t you just think maybe these people who have had experience with the breed probably onto something? Naaaa, people just want to keep thinking otherwise. Your life, not mine.
Homemade lollipops? Blonde & chocolate brownies? Rice Krispie treats? Critter cupcakes? nm
