Tara accepts the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

And now for something totally unrelated to dogs...

I've never been one to follow internet memes... actually, I don't even know what the heck a "meme" is, but apparently this is one of them.  So when my niece nominated me for the #IceBucketChallenge I admit I groaned ever so slightly.  But despite some cynics out there, this particular stunt actually has been making a big difference.  Check out this article I found, which made some good points and played a small part in me deciding to accept the challenge.  http://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2014/08/19/think-the-ice-bucket-challenge-is-stupid-youre-wrong/  Also go to the ALS Assn's website for more info straight from the horse's mouth.  http://www.alsa.org/fight-als/ice-bucket-challenge.html  To help out, click on the big red "Donate" button. 



A special thanks to my clients, whose generous tips over the summer have made this extra contribution both possible and painless.  :-)
