Hurricane Irene is just starting to wind down here and thankfully, it doesn't seem to have caused too much damage. 

The windows at the shelter were boarded up on Friday night, just in case, and yesterday when my boyfriend and I went to clean cages, we made sure to double up on hay and water bottles, just in case we couldn't get out there today to check on everyone.   There are some power lines and trees down, but over all, the damage is not as bad as we were anticipating. 

In other news, we caught one more baby bunny from the restaurant parking lot in Stratford yesterday!  We think there is only either one or two more still out there so we've definitely made a lot of headway!   Speaking of which, we did a fundraiser at that same restaurant on Wednesday night, where a portion of the proceeds from all menu items purchased between 5-9pm were donated to Hop Along Hollow.    We made $1000 just that one night alone!   We had such a great turnout, we're excited to implement this fundraiser in the future, possibly at other locations!

We also recently started our Yankee Candle fundraiser, which will earn us 40% profit on all of our sales.   It doesn't end until September 27 so we have a few more weeks to sell, sell, sell!
