I'm laughing because it's awesome BTW, not because I'm making fun at all... I feel like this is restoring my faith in humanity a little bit (or a lot) lol
I agree!!! I normally have better luck trusting dogs instead of humans. I guess I was just hanging around the wrong humans!!!!

If you are a fan of the Fast and Furious movies, watch Furious 7, the ending will touch your heart, it was rewritten to honor Paul Walker. The comments at the end seem to be about his character in the movie, but the other actors and actresses said that they were actually how they felt about the man himself, Paul Walker. A very sad time for those of us who watched all the movies thru the years.

I'm not responsible for you blood pressure ;)
Please do your research before giving to these "people" of ANY charity. My new and only charity besides giving blood is the Wounded Warriors.

Absolutely agree - look at the political manoeuvrings of the Susan B Komen Run for the Cure Foundation. A certain political party pushed hard to put a couple of their old cats in there. I guess they figured because the money was big enough they could choose the leaders like it was a political appointment. (and that makes me mad anyway). Then the appointees in turn started bashing and spending a lot of money in lobbying against another organization that had nothing whatsoever to do with them because of the aforementioned political party and its particular platform. I have the same grievance with PETA and several others. I'll give - but it will be to a local organization where I can SEE what they're doing.

Here's a story. My hubs and I adopted a little cat from the Oahu humane society. She was 5 months old, russian blue in shape and color, female and had a little white "tucker bib" mark on her throat. We had her for (wait for it) Twenty-Three years. She nearly died in late February, but rallied round for another 5 weeks or so, but then she failed again, quite quickly and we knew the end was coming. While I was holding her, I told her I wished so much we could rewind her and have her all over again. She lifted a paw up to my nose and then died in my arms on April 8th. We were both devastated and could hardly stand it. Anyway, we took her to the emergency center for cremation, and when we returned, I was still bawling and was looking at web sites for pet grief support as it's a special kind of comfort in a way. For some unknown reason the web site for the Hawaii Humane Society came up, (different island) and for some God-known reason I clicked on cats - and there was a picture of a little grey cat who looked just like ours. I figured that it was waaaaay too soon to even think of such a thing, and anyway being a non-profit, chances are the website hadn't been updated lately and the kitty was probably adopted by now. Next morning I was doing my best to get myself ready for work, and my hubs was on the web. Just for information sake, for the future, when we ready, he was googling russian blue breeders. New York came up and California ......and a little grey cat at ......the Hawaiian Humane Society! So we both were looking at different things and landed on the same picture. He bounced into the bathroom and said "That's Chiffy!!" He said "I've got to call about this" and so he did. And! the little cat was still available, they would be happy to ship her to us - but let me send you some more pictures. ...We got the pictures and found out ....she was 5 months old, she had been at the shelter for 5 weeks, was a female, russian blue in shape and colour - and had a little white "tucker bib" mark on her throat. So we became proud mom n pop to GD (short for granddaughter).

Some things are too bizarre to explain. I like to think that Chiffy had a word with someone on her way in to the fields by the Rainbow Bridge :)

Gotta wait for all of the prize picks from folks ahead of you in the list.

I assumed they'd already been notified, I think I saw a few saying they already had confirmations a day later, and there was many prizes missing in the round two form so I assumed our round would go similarly quick as the first.

Like I mentioned though, I'm not in any real hurry, just dying anxious from you know... waiting to find out :)
