A mother from my work, said her daughter sent a text, saying that her daughter went into the sunroom and believed a dog needed some warmth and comfort on this cold evening, but it ended up being a cayote!!!!
As all animals want to be cozy, please keep them warm, and safe this cold winter coming.
Thank you for all the people who do already.

Spotted in: WINDSOR

We want to thank you again for giving us a boost at the shoppers on Howard and Tecumseh tonight. You were waiting for your wife and had kids in your van and you still helped us out. Thank you again so much.

My faith in the humanity in people was restored today. Whoever did this at the University of Windsor, you have amazed me! I saw a few trees attached with the same note, when I traveled to main campus for lunch today! How thoughtful to think of others who struggle to keep themselves warm. I was truly inspired and happy to see this act of kindness!

To the very nice man who called me to tell me my mom lost her phone at costco, thank you for turning her phone into customer service. That was very selfless and honest of you, we really appreciate it

My dog got out of my backyard today and haven't seen him since. Please let me know if you have any information... I live by Howard and memorial.

Last night when I went to turn on the fancy kaleidoscope christmas lightbulb my sister had excitedly purchased for our front porch on Erie Street West, I realized it was gone.

It was stolen.

Someone came up onto our porch during the night and stole our christmas light.

This might not seem like a big deal, but my sister and her family just moved back to Windsor after living in Calgary for the last 10 years. They came back to Windsor for a simple reason: they love it here.
They actually love it here. I'd like them to KEEP loving it here.
My nephew, who is turning 10 this year, is celebrating his first christmas in Windsor and I'm struggling to reassure him and his parents that Downtown is a fun, vibrant, and safe place to live when people are literally coming up to our doors and stealing our christmas decorations! I didn't think the common downtown "joke" of if "if you don't lock it, they will steal it" applied to lightbulbs. I'll be sure to lock the rest of mine up for safety.
(This is truly heinous and if you did it and you're reading this, I hope the bulb burns out on the first go!)

Please, if you're just some drunken idiot kid please bring back our christmas light. If your friend is a drunken idiot kid who stole a christmas light, make them return it. In general let's all, as downtown residents, look out for each other this holiday season. Incidents like this are what convince people to leave windsor, and they certainly do Downtown NO favours. Hold your friends and neighbours accountable so everyone can have a nice holiday.

Happy Holidays, Downtown Windsor, watch out for The Grinch.

At Wendy's this afternoon management held a meeting with an employee in the dining area. This man (I think was from head. Office) spoke very loud and had the employee in tears. We were only 2 tables away. On departure we stopped and told the man that it was terrible to do this to anyone and meetings should be held at the back. Also another guest also voiced his displeasure. Wendy's should change their policy .

For anyone having a less than wonderful day, here is a feel good story for you. This morning I called several different Subway's to order lunch for a group of staff and volunteers who run our Holiday Program at work. I connected with a Subway store owner named Jay at the Tecumseh Mall/ Tecumseh Home Depot location by total luck. The order was well over $120 but I only had a budget of $75. This money was raised by youth that participate in fundraising for our agency and advocate for other children. When I tried to figure out a way to bring down the cost of the lunch he asked me who I was feeding. I told him it was for a group of people volunteering their time to package new toys for less fortunate families and would need to order an entire lunch, right down to drinks and cutlery. He put me on hold to organize a couple different menu's that would suit my budget. Moments later he came back on the phone and offered to pay the difference of my original order himself, only charging me $74. I was shocked and kindly accept his generosity. When I arrived to pick up the food he gave me his business card and said he would like to continue supporting us and to please call him again if I ever needed to provide more food to staff or families in the community. He also packed extra subs for me in case anyone wanted second helpings. I was so touched by his generosity. I then made my way over to our Holiday Program to deliver lunch and stopped in my tracks at the amazing sight of kindness our city has shown. The warehouse was LOADED with toys, clothing and household items larger than any department store I've seen. All these gifts were donated by our community and it gave me goosebumps to witness first-hand what wonderful humanity we have in our own city. It's easy to get caught up in the negative especially during the holiday season with the pressures that come with it. Sometimes we all need a little reminder about the good in the world and how we can be a part of it.
