Thats a great idea moosmom about the
damaged bags of pet food etc.
My friend is a member of an Akita club in Texas. Her and other members drive around to the different stores and collect bags of food every month, and than donate it to the rescues.

Molly I am so glad the Code Enforcement came and left
with-out a hitch, but I am very sorry to hear about
your mother. (when it rains it pours)
I don't know about your slum lord.
Doesn't sound very good.

You did a fantastic job, on your babies so they can be placed in
loving homes. I also do not know what to say. I feel so bad,
I just can not imagine what you are going through.
l am sending you more hugs.
