Re: Hello out there

OH..I love stories like that, where somebody takes in unloved, unwanted
animals.  When I was a kid I drug every animal home and said, "can we keep
it...puh-leeeeeeeeeze".  I made my parents crazy.  They were so glad I
married an animal lover - in fact, I think my husband is worse than ME and
that's hard to believe.
