Tentative Dates and Scout Update

We all know that nothing would ever get done without deadlines so here's a few tentative ones for the Art-Raiser.

September 10th -> message us by then with information about auction art that you would like to give for the cause.
September 12th - 17th -> The Auction.

Does this sound feasible or too rushed?  Let me know so I can adjust them by a week or so.  Small art pieces can be messaged about whenever and there is no deadline.  And as before, please continue to spread the word as every little bit helps.

ps. Scout is still doing well.  He still tires easily but doesn't seem much worse or better for the wear.  Hopefully tomorrow's follow-up blood work will illustrate improvement.  At least our local Lville vet, Dr. Ruiz from the Big Easy, gave us a little hope from describing a good past experience with a cat presenting very similar to Scout.  Maybe a few consults with his medical records and other docs will yield some affordable treatments rather than watching him fade.  Here's to hope. =)

Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by the Art-Raiser for Scout blog.  We are extremely thankful for all the support that we have been offered over the last few days.  When you first asked, we didn't have all the information in one place or even a plan for the Art-Raiser.  We were still in shock and burdened by the thought of possibly loosing our little guy.  To be honest, we still don't know if he's going to hang around for long or even how much time we have left but we do plan to give him all the love a kitty could want.  Plus our 3 other kitties are loving him up as well...  well us much as they can considering how confused they are by all the change.

After enough inquiry, I decided to devote today to putting together a plan and setting up everything that I could online.  And that's just what I did today.  During my Scout watch; while he was sleeping and while he was being watched by Josh...  I spent the last 7 hrs setting up accounts and writing.  As my mind is a bit off, please excuse the horrible grammar and spelling.  Also this blog is not at 100% as far as complete information so excuse the dust but do click above to read about the Art-Raiser and How to Give.  The cause and About sections are still under renovation as Josh wants to write about Scout and I need some mental down time before I dive into reliving the past few days for writing up the Cause in detail.  As you can see, the cause currently only contains a quick and dirty summary.  Additionally, the only thing currently up and running is the Paypal button.  The Etsy shop is still bare bones needing the information added.  Plus I still haven't set up the facebook FundRazr.  Despite all of this, we are now in the phase of looking to collect art work for that and the auction.  So please contact Josh and I (Becky) if you have art you would like to give.  You can contact us however you normally would or through Scout's special email address ArtRaiser.4.Scout[a]gmail[dot]com <-replacing [dot] with a . and [a] with @.
