Aly, "horse," I was wondering. Is your Humane Society shelter a no kill shelter? I live down the road from the ASPCA local shelter. It is a wonderful place. The people who contribute, the kennel environment and facilities, the volunteers, are all so wonderful. I try to go to visit the dogs and cats and critters as often as I can; contribute goods, visit with the critters, dogs and cats. But I always leave in tears, fearful to return, because I know that some of them will not be adopted, be sent to the Rainbow Bridge. And it's almost unbearable to return to see their cages empty. They try VERY hard not to take the final step. They rotate them among many shelters in S.E. Mass.; ones that at the moment have more room. But, I was just wondering how you cope with the loss. I know. If people such as yourselves were not there to give them the love and attention they so desperately need, what would their lives be like while they are waiting to be adopted? Thank you so much for giving them so much love and a chance to feel happiness. "horse," Aly, I know the joy you speak of. And I envy you. You are both very special. Sandra
