We lost one of the dogs this morning who was one of the dogs in the worst condition. She had started to eat a little bit and drink some. She had even walked a few steps on her own, which have us all some hope.
2 of us spent the night with her, who we have named Hope, because everyone hoped the best for her.
Her best was to cross her bridge into her healthy new life.
She has our scent and will welcome us again one day. Best of all is that she finally felt what love is like, and will get to feel that for eternity now.
The best part was she got to spend her last hrs. and feel that love with you my friend.

My contribution to the page turn.

Good morning friends.
We had a Huge SPCA rescue call yesterday just east of me. 40+ dogs (mostly) from a puppy mill. In all my time with the SPCA, myself and others had never seen such filth inside a residence. These are really SICK beings. Notice I didn't used the word "human"?
I've had peppermint essential oils on my upper lip all yesterday and my eyes watered constantly.
These sweet dogs, some so weak they could barely lift their heads, still managed to wag their tail a bit when we talked to them.
Last night was the best night they may ever have had.
As soon as possible, each will be up for adoption.

Rosco, I don't know you, but you strike me as a man among men. Your heart certainly speaks for you.

(((Heartbreaking)))



Kweenie, I do know him and he is a man among men... dare I say a Mensch !!!


PS... he rescues humans too :)

Whatever troubled me this morning, is slowly melting away. I have no words, so I will not attempt any. :(

Thank you for sharing, Rosco. And may there be a special place of endless & looping castration for whomever bears responsibility for the travesty of these animals.

Good morning my friends,

The sun is shining here and it's quite windy out. I have many errands to get done since I've gotten behind in my husbandly duties. :)
Yet I feel guilty not being at the SPCA. You ever feel like no one but you can do things? I absolutely know that our volunteers are just like me or more so, and do fantastic jobs at what they do. Yet I still feel like it should be me doing it.

I thank you all for your kind words, tho it embarrasses me. Please don't think that what I do is anything special really. It is just what any of us can, should, and actually do at times. Some just are able to do it more often than others. My inner drive just gets engaged when I see things going wrong in life. Since I am able, I do what I can.
We are placed on this earth to learn and do. I'm still learning and I'm still doing, so I guess I'm safe for awhile. When this isn't happening in my life anymore, I will know it's time to move on.

It's a new day, so our smiles have to start again. :)

Well I got my full 2hrs. of sleep and I'm ready.
Oh I got burned by a company that gave me a free prize if I paid shipping $4.50. About a week later I notice a $90.00 deficit in my bank. I call them and tell them I want my money they stole or all kinds of bad stuff will happen. They tell me they will give me half now and the other half when I send back my prize. I look and $45.00 are returned. I send back the stuff and no money shows so after another few calls telling them bad stuff They say they will send a check. I got it yesterday but it wasn't $45.00 they owed it was the full $90.00. It's about time these scammers lose.

Good for you J5!! I hate scammers with a passion!

There's a new development in the ex's release. I just got off the phone with the parole office, they called to inform Katie and me that he will not be allowed to come back here to live because of his past history of domestic abuse. He will be sent to a halfway house upon his release. Katie had me ask if she could give permission for him to live here and the answer was no...the decision is entirely out of our hands. He will not even be allowed to visit.

Good news to my ears!

Wow, if I could make money off scammers, I'd be busy.
All we have are cell phones which allow us to block any number once we receive a call. I usually check unknown numbers that show up & 99.9% are scammers. That no call list is worthless. Been on it for 10 years and nothing got better.
Once we block a number, we never hear a ring again from them.
Since we rarely answer a unknown call, we're pretty safe from being bothered anyway.
J5, hope your tax bracket doesn't take a hit.[emoji6]

Ha Ha I know huh? I just hope they learned not to try me again. Money came in handy because I bought my daughter a laptop and added that in.
