Good Evening Everyone, My apologies for just sort of disappearing. Have had some family concerns that kept me from getting much done. While I won't bore you with all of the specifics I will give you a hint concerning just one of them. If your daughter walks in the door with a small puppy that she found on the freeway who is covered with sores be very, very concerned. You have no idea how much impact that little tiny puppy and what it is carrying is going to have on your life. If anyone wants the full story then e-mail me privately. I will be HAPPY TO EXPOUND on the topic. However...... I received the following message on another mail list. I requested permission to cross post it to all the lists I admin. First of all, this is a very nice site in its own right. But I think you will find the article very interesting as well. Hope you enjoy it. Take care - Emma .......................................
