I have a terrible admission...I have never stepped foot in a pound or humane society, and it is completely out of fear of my emotions and nothing else. I send money to rescue people, donate supplies, but I can not bring myself to see these needy babies. All of you who work so hard with these animals are to be commended.

But I have always had those needy animals find me somehow. Mimi came from a "surprise" litter. Her parents were brother and sister and one of my employees needed to place them quickly. I've had her since she was six weeks old and she is now almost 12 years old!

Shrimp Boat, Mimi's predecessor(I can't spell, sorry) was found at about 4 mths of age at a seafood market in Holden Beach, NC, having been abandoned there. Of course I had to bring her home. I had her about 6 years, I think, before losing her.

And of course, Butter, the biting wonder cat, found us about 3 months ago. Since that time, we found his owners, but he is very content here and thinks he'll stay! I'm so glad!

All of these wonderful creatures were neutered as soon as possible. I try to do my part in stopping these unwanted pregnancies.

These are great stories that all of you have shared.
