Dear Sun Spots: I work with a rescue group that finds new homes for boxer dogs. We are currently in need of some blankets for the dogs to sleep on. We could also use dog crates. If you have either of these to donate contact me via e-mail at juddill@yahoo.com or by phone at 539-4074.

Your readers really helped us out with these a couple of years ago and we are hoping they will again. Thanks so much. – Judy Dill, Oxford.
