<p>From the outset of my writings I&#8217;ve never made any attempt to take financial gain from it, nor do I have plans to do so in the future. I don&#8217;t do seminars, I don&#8217;t do DVDs nor do I have a book deal pending anytime soon. What I offer at The Rational Male is for the benefit of anyone, and to encourage public discourse about the (often controversial) topics characteristic of this blog.</p>
<p>That said, if what I&#8217;ve written here has benefitted you in a significant way and you&#8217;d like to show some appreciation for it, I would request that you make an <strong>anonymous</strong> donation to <a title="Gold Coast Greyhound Adoptions" href="http://www.goldcoastgreyhoundsorlando.com/">Gold Coast Greyhound Adoptions</a>. I would respectfully request you not reference The Rational Male in this donation. The amount isn&#8217;t important and you can donate via the Paypal link on their site.</p>
<p>One of my passions is Greyhound racing, and reconditioning retired track dogs to be adopted and placed with good families. Personally I own three and I take between 2-3 dogs per year for retraining. I&#8217;m one of many hosts in a network that helps make the transition of these thoroughbred animals from the track to the home easier. Most dogs are retired due to injuries (commonly broken legs) requiring expensive veterinary surgeries and 3-6 months of recuperation time.</p>
