Cathy,

I'm so sorry those prospective homes didn't work out. You know, they just weren't meant to be. I know that doesn't help currently, but we have to keep the faith that the RIGHT home will come along for the girls at the perfect time. Maybe they need time to heal 100% and get even more comfy around other people. Posting up signs at Starbucks is an excellent idea! You may have already mentioned, but have any of your local rescue groups or vet allowed you to 'advertise' in their places too? If not, maybe they can also help?

What about posting a sign in your local senior center? Annie and Emma seem like they would be perfect for an older person or couple. What about your local rec center? Anywhere lots of people congregate…community pools, churches, parks, etc.

OK, so we're at $765, right? I'm composing an email to Mike right now and will let him know the total. I have a few questions:

1) How much do you normally spend on their food? How long does that amount (of money and food) last?
2) Do you foresee any other vet/dental/vaccine bills in the near future? Or are they finally all set - until vaccine time next year/3 years?
3) Other than food/litter, do you foresee any other ways they'll be needing money?

I've done some rough math and I figure that as soon as I send everyone's packages of Gini's Art, I'll be sending you (via PayPal) around $415 (this amount is donations [$470] less shipping supplies - boxes, tape and a lot of packing material so the art arrives safely). So this will get them out of a negative balance and leave them with $201. I'm not sure how long this will last.

I realized these figures will be off as you mentioned you needed more food, boosters and deworming/flea medication. But, at least you have this rough amount for the art to factor in.

Please let me know what you think. Thank you, Cathy! Thank you for all you're doing for Annie and Emma. You have a lot on your plate already, so taking this on I'm sure is A LOT of stress for you. (((((Cathy))))) I just know Gini is more appreciative that we can imagine. As Mike keeps telling me, you have a ton of "Animal Karma". (You totally do!)

And THANK YOU yet again to the angels here on PT. Wow!! I'll never, ever cease to be amazed by the kindness and generosity of spirit and resources here. If the world is looking for an example of how one should behave - they need to come to PT. I'm continually touched by the kind generosity I always find here.
