Oil Spill Animal Recovery Update

Okay here are the facts from the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies ( A Group that loves animals, meow); 319 turtles and 42 dolphins have been found dead on the Mississippi and Alabama Coast, and 35 sea turtles have been rescued! Thanks for your help everyone we are trying.

I love Green Sea Turtles they are so pretty. They are endangered and live on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, directly affected by the oil spill. They can grow to the size of about 4 feet and can weigh over 440 pounds. Now that is one big turtle! Sammy and I got to ride one (Andrew) when we were in Florida it was awesome. Let's try and save this great animal.

We are Making a Difference

Mags and I are working on another piece of art to help save the animals from the oil slick in the Gulf. It has come to our attention that in just one week Kelly Lights' blog Ripple, http://ripplesketches.blogspot.com/ went from having 100 cards to having 600 cards from artists around the world. The blog has raised over $5,000.00 (as of 6/22). Everyone, we are making a difference keep it up! I know you are busy. My full time job is as a limo driver, and Mags is a flower/plant consultant during the day. Plus we do Maggie and Sam's Adventures website! But somehow Mags and I are finding the time to help! We are going to draw another postcard to put on the Ripple website.

Sammy

Thanks for your support and helping us fight this disaster. Kelly said that it takes 3 bottles of Dawn Dish Detergent to wash one bird. One $10 sketch card buys three bottles. Currently everyone has raised enough money to clean roughly 570 birds. Personally Sam and I would like to see these birds out flying again, so please help!
