This is Nathan / Lirathal posting under Naomi's name because she just read the post and is crying, and can't find the words to reply. Honestly I find myself even emotional at the thought of this community coming together for the sake of my girlfriend and her beloved Bassett. We all have been trying to help by donating our time, monies, and love. I am currently going to school and have no income, I'm working off of a $24,000 line of credit and I'm basically living on borrowed money, but that will never stop me from taking care of my "kids". I respect you all for the commitment to life that you have all made, and send my deepest thanks for an act of giving and charity that makes the heart warm and the soul shine. I'm not an eloquent writer and I don't claim to have the words to speak for Naomi, but just watching her get up from her computer, point to the screen and start crying was enough to tell me how much it meant to her and to the "kids", especially Bassett. I don't know that I really can find anymore words to express mine and Naomi's deepest gratitude for even the thoughts and prayers you all have sent. I'm sure Naomi will find better words than I, but I felt that something needed to be said. Thank you all again for your emotional support of Naomi over the past couple of hard months, it has meant a lot to her and myself as well.

Warmest Regards,
Nathan
