Another generous donor (who prefers to remain anonymous) made a contribution to my challenge and requested some artwork from the sprogs.
The requested subject matter, cats, is one about which the Free-Ride offspring are pretty enthusiastic (perhaps because I’m allergic to cats and can’t live with them). So, send in the cats:
From the younger Free-Ride offspring:
From the elder Free-Ride offspring:
Thank you for your generous contribution, donor!
If you’d like sprog art (or poetry, or other goodies) of your own, take a look at some of these worthy projects, make a contribution, and forward your email confirmation from DonorsChoose to me (dr.freeride@gmail.com) along with the information about the kind of “thank you” gift you’d like.
You’ll also want to forward that email confirmation to Seed (scienceblogs@gmail.com) to get in on the weekly prize drawing.
(And, if you’ve decided to throw in with my mother as far as my big incentives go, be sure to indicate in your email to me “Don’t count this donation toward tattoos!”)
Dr. Free Ride,
Have you looked into desensitization treatment? Your allergy could be life threatening under the right conditions, and desensitization is cheaper than an hypo-allergenic cat.
Thank you. Cats 2 and 5 look like my older cat.
My wife gets shots for general allergies (including cats, though they are mild). I don’t know if they work well for more severe cat allergies, though.
Happy Hallo-meme, Sprogs!
