Ok, so I'm still getting caught up with everything, and being a little distracted by a certain gray/white kitty, but I have to say I was almost in tears many times as I read through this thread. You Pet Talkers are truly a wonderful bunch! And I know those who couldn't donate money are sending many prayers and positive thoughts to help Bassett through this tough sir jury. I'm so proud to be part of such a wonderful group, and to think we're only a cyber community. A lot of "real" communities aren't this wonderful!

I saved the instructions from Karen and will be calling in a donation right quick here. Thanks to Jen for getting this going, and to Karen and Paul for the hard work in getting it set up with the hobbspital (did I spell that right Cinder?) and keeping it at the top so I didn't miss it.

What a wonderful, wonderful group of people.
