The Bite:
imageIs the hole in your once-cozy fleece blanket putting your OCD in overdrive? (Deep breath...) Instead of trashing it, take it and any other used-but-usable blankets and towels you don't want to the independent, 100% donation-funded Seattle Humane Society, where it'll go to good use as cushy bedding. Donations are tax deductible - just have 'em mail you a receipt or grab one while you're there. Then, pay a few of the shelter's 250 animals a visit (fair warning, you may find it impossible to leave without a new family member). Overflow materials go to the Seattle Humane Society's Pet Project, which provides free pet services to pet owners with AIDS. No complaints.
Wanna Try: 
Seattle Humane Society, 13212 SE Eastgate Way, Bellevue. Map It (425-641-0080). Check out the Daily Tip for more info on donating to animal shelters.

Cocktail Fact

Singer Dusty Springfield specified in her will that her cat should eat only imported baby food.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Seattle Biters donate a used fleece blanket to an animal shelter rather than tossing it, we'll keep the weight of 750 bags of dog food in waste outta the landfill.
