Note from Dottie

Dear Friends,

Although this site is free to you...it isn't to us.  If it were a book...it would be even more expensive than the monthly service fees we have to pay to keep it going.  Some nights I'm working on the computer 'till 3 or 4 in the morning, and still waking up to care for the critters.  It's not whining...but what I love to do!  I just need to try to make a living doing it!

   I had to learn how to use the computer as I was learning how to build our web site. Upload...download...reload...resize...repixel!  Did you know it takes twelve clicks of the mouse just to get one photo on...so you can imagine how much time it takes to post 25 to 50 photos per page!  I just got done timing how long it took to do page 130.  It took 5 hours!  So...how about chipping in a penny per hour...or a nickle per page?

If you enjoy reading our story...and would like to help us keep it going...any amount is truly appreciated. 

 If you would like to see Checkers the Llama come home to Critter Encounter, and start his calling loving special people... join the "Let's bring Checkers Home" fan club.  It would be worth it...just to see Joes face when he realizes there's another critter on the farm!

We are also offering a bunch of other stuff to help raise the funds to get our books published!  These are the books we would like to donate to the Double H kids, nursing homes, children's and Veteran's hospitals, and libraries.  My dream is to read them the story, then let them meet the stars!

Here's some ways you could help! 

     Buy the Book-  Help support the site by offering 5 cents for every page you read and enjoyed!  All that educational entertainment for a penny per hour of web work ...or a nickle a page!  What a bargain!

     Adopt a Cyber Critter - Did you (or someone you know) ever wish you had a donkey, alpaca, horse or goat?  Well...here's your chance!    For only $5. a month...you can have your very own piece of...Donk E, Galahad or Solly!  We'll send you a beautiful certificate of ceremonial ownership with your critters photo, and a heartfelt thank you for your support!

     Critter Therapy for Humans - We all know that animals can help heal the human spirit.  Whether it's a child with Autism, a teen in foster care, or an adult going through tough times...critters can reach through and heal the soul. 

     Rent a Critter  This is for the people who always wanted a donkey, horse or alpaca...but couldn't fit it in their apartment.  Or who wants a pet, but can't afford the vet bills.  Or who has a spouse or a child with allergies that make it impossible to have a pet.  Maybe you work long hours and don't have the time for a full time pet of your own?   Maybe you're not able to clean up after, care for and feed one.  Call to rent a critter by the hour for a nice relaxing walk through the woods!  You get to rent a pet when you have the time...and we take care of the rest!

     Lease a Chicken!  Pick out a chicken, lease her for $1. a week, and come and collect the eggs!  It's eggs easy as that!

     "We Poo For You! "  Natural Alpaca Poo...add it to your plants and garden, as is! $2.00 a bag or $5 a bucket!  Critter Mix contains horse, donkey, goat bunny chicken and duck poo.  That's free!  Come and get as much as you'd like!
