Re: Hello out there

So sorry about the loss, Cyndi, and happy for you, Jesse. Re animal sanctuary, there was a bit on tonight's CBS News about a doctor who made a bunch of money in a .com business and now is doing what he loves. He built a cat sanctuary, Tabby's Place. He's already spent over $2million on it. He takes special needs cats that would otherwise be euthanized for lack of a home.

Yeh...I know...I just don't have enough animals in my life...if I EVER win
the lotto, I'm going to open up an animal sanctuary, cause I just can't seem 
to say no.

Cyndi I am so terribly sorry, pet or no, our animals mean a lot regardless! 
Hugs to you.
Jess dear, I'm so glad you got another dog, don't know what you'd do for
company up there on the farm!!  ROTFL....
