Roll Over!

This morning I woke up with a heavy weight on my ribs and a buzzing sound in my ear. No, I wasn’t having a coronary; it was only my cat purring happily from the middle of my chest. He obviously feels this is an ideal morning perch. I, on the other hand, wonder if it means I’m getting squishier in my old age. Still, I find it a relaxing way to wake up unless he happens to get one of his whiskers up my nose.

It seems that people either love or despise cats. I think it’s because they make it perfectly clear that they are going to live on their own terms and not pander to what we’d like them to be. A dog is perfectly happy to change his ways to suit you. He will wear whatever you want and learn to do any amount of tricks you care to teach him. However, my cat will choose what he does for himself and I always feel a bit privileged when he graces me with his presence.

I can’t help but find it amusing that although our office is awash with cat lovers, the Software created and sold here is very much like a dog.

FundRaiser can be used in so many ways. It never fails to amaze me how our users come up with clever methods to accomplish things we never even dreamed someone would even consider doing.

So do you have some tricks you’d like your FundRaiser to do but just can’t quite figure out how to get it to sit up and beg? Give Tech Support a call… you may find we’re pretty good FundRaiser trainers.
