OMG what a terrible GAD experience! It doesn't help that I'm terrified of dogs.
We also signed up for the GAD for FPs. We did Project Linus (or actually, I just made two blankets and said one was from mom). There is one in our county, but they weren't participating. There was one participating about 3 hours away, but they told us we could mail the blankets when they were made, so that's what I did. Then we donated one ticket to Dreams Take Flight, and will keep the other for the FPs, in case we need extras on our AK day. So sad that that's the last time to see Wishes. The day I went on the allears site and saw they were getting rid of Spectro and Wishes (if only for the summer) I almost had a heart attack. I was so relieved to find out it wouldn't be happening until after our trip!
