I have three lovely things to announce today. Well, two lovely and one “this is going to be interesting.”
1. Final numbers are in for the Home for the Holidays campaign!
Blog posts: 609
Facebook pictures: 305
I told my Iams contact how some people had been having trouble tagging the photos on Facebook with ‘Iams’, so they graciously agreed to count all the pictures regardless of how they were tagged. That made me so happy since I too have cursed at Facebook when it made things unnecessarily complicated and I know what a pain it can be.
Each comment and picture generated 50 bowls of food.
So the final food bowl total is….drumroll please….
45,700 meals!
That is 11, 570 pounds of food, generated by you for pets in need.
That is just shy of SIX TONS!! I wanted to photoshop a picture of Brody standing next to 45,000 bowls of food but it proved to be almost incomprehensible.
11,570 pounds, just for reference, equals:
- 168 Brodies
- 156 Kekoas
- 661 17 pound bags of Iams
- 2 Asian elephants
- 5 Clydesdales
- 29,000 bananas
And that is bananas! Woo hoo!!
