Easily the Coolest Thing You’ll Do All Week

My handsome friend, the Emperor Tamarin, and I want to tell you how you can become one of the coolest of the cool, hippest of the hip, and baddest of the bad. 

Everyone loves a compassionate, generous, loving person.  Agreed?  And when that person points those traits in the direction of animals (who positively, absolutely cannot help themselves), the value shoots to the moon.  Personally, I’ve always put people into two categories: There are those who love animals and care about their well being, and then there are “the others.”  One of the first things I noticed about Michael when he first came to pick me up for a date was how he acted around my pets.

He passed with flying colors.  My toy poodle thought he was the best thing since Dairy Queen hamburgers and my Siamese cat, Solo (who hated most humans) would crawl right into his lap.  When Michael didn’t panic over “cat hair” on his pants, but actually talked to him and rubbed him, I knew we’d found Mr. Right!

If you love animals as much as we do, the Tamarin and I have something wickedly fun and exciting to tell you about.  It’s not all fun and games, of course - it’s actually very important, serious business.  Some of the most beautiful, magnificent animals in the world are in danger - such as my much beloved polar bear’s fight against global warming - but we have it within our power to help them. 

So, yes, the situation is serious - but try telling that to the Tamarin. He’s all about the fun.

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has set up an adoption program featuring these amazing animals, including (of course) the Tamarin and polar bears.  Every donation you make helps save these beautiful animals from extinction and helps support the efforts to improve their lives. 

There are different levels of contributions, and each level comes with its own gifts.  For example, for a $25 adoption, you get an adoption certificate and photo of the animal you’ve chosen.  That, alone, is pretty amazing!  I think making the donation in someone’s name and presenting them with the certificate and photo would be very special.  However, for a $50 adoption, you not only get the certificate and photo, you also get an adorable plush animal which is about 12 inches from head to tail.  You should see these cuties!  They make perfect desk companions for work (a polar bear guides me through my day), car buddies, shelf sitters, and pillow perchers.
