I wanted to start the New Year with the very first Calvin and Hobbes bird-related toon, but was chagrined to find that I already posted the first two in the course of 2015.  (This is the result of not having been able to properly calculate the original publication dates, which I am now able to do, having located my bound set of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes.)  So here is the third C&H to have a bird theme, from September 13, 1987:

The final total is $27,310, over 90% of our $30,000 end-of-year fundraising goal!  THANK YOU for your collective generosity - our volunteers and Board of Directors are flabbergasted and humbled by your outpouring of support.  The funds will go a long way toward meeting the medical needs of our foster flock (depending on how needy our birds are, of course - our December 2015 bill from just ONE veterinary clinic exceeded $25k).

Today's Cheezburger photo (from April 21, 2013) is my way of gently reminding you, if you attend a New Year's Eve party tonight, please don't drink and drive.  I'd like you to be around tomorrow as we start another year of bird 'toons!

We have raised  $17,665 - almost 60%! - toward our $30,000 fundraising goal! THANK YOU for your generosity! Your gifts make life-changing differences in the lives of our foster flock who live in our homes and our hearts. And giving during this Challenge Grant time makes your gift go further!
