London On My Mind (Our New Series)

We are starting a new little project!

Every FRIDAY, starting on February 13th, London and I will answer one of your animal related questions!
London will also read a recent post from her Facebook page,(Children Helping Animals In Need) and comment on the content...as only a nine year old animal activist can!
So, if you are wondering about rescuing or adopting a pet, what healthy foods to feed the Guinea Pig you just brought home, how you can be more involved in animal welfare, or even something difficult, like what to say to a child when their beloved pet dies.
Please have your questions posted by the Thursday before.
London is looking forward to doing her best, at answering your questions!

Please post your questions in the comment section on this blog OR on London's Facebook page, Children Helping Animals In Need.
