Bobbi & The Strays is a wonderful pet rescue and placement organization in Queens that is in desperate need of money to help them continue their wonderful work.

Check out a couple of my Urban Erma humor articles on our advertures with Rolie: My Milkshake Brings My Dog To the Car and My Dog Drank My Coffee!
