Carrie, I wasn't a Pet Talk member when the whole foot and mouth issues began but I was certainly aware of them. Your post brought me to tears, for the animals lost, for the families and farms that were devastated by this, and lastly tears of joy and hope for the generosity of the Pet Talk board. Your heartfelt thanks was wonderful and as usual you were extremely eloquent. I'm so glad things are "looking up", that your country is on the other side of the hill so to speak. Thank you so much for posting this and for being a part of this forum. God Bless all those families.
