I posted that we cannot use the funds we got from the Pepsi Challenge for
medical bills for the Bassets in our care I have gotten several emails with
lovely suggestions but one in particular that suggested if I could get some
Droolers to write very nice letters to the Pepsi Cola Company asking that they
reconsider letting the funds from the Pepsi Challenge to be used for vet bills
maybe they would change the rules to allow rescues to use the funds for vetting.

know that several rescues have won funds from the Pepsi Challenge over the past
year and wondered what they think of this idea. The worst thing Pepsi can say is
no ... and I think if we all send a letter and be respectful and sweet they
would definitely consider our plea. </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

do not want to make them mad and spoil funding more rescues in the future so if
each letter is polite they will have no reason to object. I know Senior Hounds
