That's great, Sylvia! I was going to volunteer but thought that suggestion was maybe a wee bit over the top

Have a GREAT time on your cruise

I just sent the link to my son who has a web of dog friends as he works in dog rescue.

I thought of asking you, but as Billie-Jo already has my Facebook account info as she uses it for her Sorority game it made more sense to ask her.

I was going to cancel the account a couple of years ago as I don't really like Facebook but Billie-Jo asked if she could use it instead, so kept it open for her.

I've seen some discussion here about other rescues in the contest badmouthing YHR. I hope we all continue to take the high road and don't sink to their level. As the competition nears its end, I don't want it to degenerate into name-calling. It gives all rescues a bad name. If we see anything that seems unfair, perhaps it's best to notify a YHR representative and let them determine the appropriate response. I'm delighted to see that's exactly how our group has behaved so far.

To make it easier to turn the other cheek if the voting gets close, I will make up any difference between the prize we win (or don't win) and the $500 top prize. In other words, if we stay in first, I donate nothing. If we slip to second, I donate $250 ...

I'm not rolling in money, so I REALLY hope we continue to keep our lead, but I think it's more important that we portray YHR as the classy organization it is.

Now go VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

I totally agree. I have complained about it as it is highly frustrating but I don't believe in bashing other rescues. The only ones that hurt are the animals. There are many groups that I might not agree with but they ALL are doing the same thing...saving animals!
This nonsense was just that..nonsense.

I believe they have gotten quite a bit of heat from this....one of them actually wrote to me today. The problem was that she blamed one person for it...when in reality she said worse than what that other person had said. I just told her that I hope they had learned from this experience. Perhaps they are young and/or new at rescue...and just don't know any better. (I am being generous here)

Thank you Mike for your kind and generous gesture...I think we are going to win in spite of it all. Everyone has worked SO hard and played the game in a fun and definitely fair way.

Additionally, I wrote to the man who originally contacted us to let him know that IF we are a problem in that contest (which one of our Board members was told the other day that is not the case), then he could pull us out of it. I offered to donate the $500 if they do pull our group out. I really want this to be clarified. We did not ASK to be a part of this...we were invited. Those people have said we cheated by participating....that is just so wrong and I don't want our group tainted that way. Just want it cleared up. Either pull us out or make a public statement that we were invited. The offenders have removed all of the negative statements as far as I can see...many of them now have closed their pages to the public (of course they did) Sadly, the damage has already been done. They have put ideas in peoples' heads about us that are just despicable. I personally think they need to apologize in every single place the posted that nonsense, but I won't hold my breath.

Sad thing about all of this is that Parks will probably not want to help rescue again...nothing but a headache.
