I've been off my computer for a couple of days. Imagine my surprise when I find an e-mail that says, in part...;
"You have been gifted with a YorkieTalk Donating Member status from a YorkieTalk member and you now have the full benefits of all YorkieTalk Donating Members (ones that have donated $25 or more to YorkieTalk, which is what you have been gifted with)!"
I'm really at a loss to express just how this made me feel. I've never been much of a 'joiner' of any type, but somehow have always felt at home here on YT, but this....WOW....just too much! The gift is awesome in itself, but the thought behind it just leaves me speechless. It gives me a case of the warm fuzzies throughout and I can only say, "THANK YOU VERY MUCH'!!!!!
The only thing I can think to do in response, since it is a 'mystery gift', is to pay it forward. I'll be making a donation to our local Humane Society (HSSM) so that this gift may in turn benefit the animals. I donate to them anyway, but they have been especially nice to me lately in spaying the cats that I've 'inherited' as of late. They are treating them as feral and are doing the spays for free. This avoids the cats being turned in to the shelter which would be a death sentence for them. I don't mind keeping them around and feeding them, but we had to put a stop to the kitty production line. I don't have a completely accurate count but have counted up to 22 at one time. We still have some girls to get spayed and then it's on to getting the boys neutered.
Here's a picture of 'some' of my kitty brood. They really are sweet and most are tame. Some I've even been able to bring inside on the cold nights and we've set up boxes with heating pads in them for the others. Hey, anybody want a cat??
Again, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You, Mystery Santa
