Thank you everyone!

Thank you for the beautiful poem, Karen!

Rosethecopycat.... I have been unable to locate a truly responsible "organized" rescue in my area. The only one I know of in my hometown will not deal with other rescues as my own, and they charge for each take-in!? They don't recognize any other rescue program as being "official". They really NEED to deal more closely with others, as their phones are always unavailable .... you can't even reach them!

Catcrazylady.... thank you SO much for sharing your very innermost feelings and experience. I know it was very difficult for you to share, and I truly appreciate your having done so! It does help to know that others have "been there"!
