Hello Helen. I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to Yorkie Talk. I have found this site to be so valuable in more ways than I ever imagined. I am in wonder of the kindness of Natalie. But that is the way people are here. They are just wonderful. I have been following this thread and I can't wait to hear how your mom is when she gets her new little fur baby.
I do feel bad that you felt the need to justify the transaction between you and Natalie. But there are some people here who are just so cynical that they question everything! And that is a shame.
Natalie obviously felt something right at first with the story about your mother, that touched her heart, and she needed to help your mom. That makes her wonderful, and my hero

Please keep us all informed as to how things go with Catrina and your Mom. Please let your mom know that I send her best wishes with her coming battle, but it will be one that is going to be made a bit easier for her now.
