Glacier, you are absolutely an inspiration. Everything about your life and the way you live it is so rare and wonderful. You are probably the single person on Pet Talk that I try to read every one of your posts. Most definitely try to read all of your threads. haha, I sound like a stalker. I just find it remarkable how much you give of yourself, to the people and animals you work with. I'm grateful this thread was started, it's been a great read! Can you post a photo of your beaded mittens?
