Well, this makes two heart warming stories today I have had to make my day joyful. Anna, I started on reading the account on the first page and fell in love with Simba. Unfortunately two dogs even exceed my limit so I knew I couldn't take him, but that didn't stop me from wanting him something fierce. I immediately skipped to page 4 of this thread because I couldn't bear the suspense of what was going to happen to this dear little boy. WHAT A SURPRISE and it couldn't have been a better outcome. I have a feeling that as much as you love and adore all your doggers, this one is going to worm his way into your heart in a way you won't imagine.

I hope Mark's sisters will understand what a significant act you and Mark have undertaken. I can't think of a more generous kindness that could be done for his mother in the situation that exists. I hope they will help you support Simba financially. It is the least that they can do. If you need anyone to write them a pointed letter, let me know.
