Heartwarming

First - yes Betsy, you did it right :) Now we look forward to travel pictures posted on here - fun! Just think, when you are on trips you can post on the blog and we can all see what you are seeing :)
The heartwarming thing? An 80 year old woman was evicted from her long time apartment this month, and had nowhere to put her 15 year old dog and the 8 cats she had taken in. Her relatives wouldn't help, and she was heading towards a retirement center with a limit of 1 pet. Because old and shy animals are euthanized at the Everett shelter, the woman planned to take in any she could not find a home for and have them euthanized.
********************
A friend of mine posted the story on craigslist; I told her I would take the dog if no one else would, but just couldn't take more cats. She called me a short while ago to say she had received EIGHTY EMAILS, and all the animals have a place to go to. It might be partly because it is Christmas, but mostly we think it is because so many hearts were touched by the thought of an 80 year old woman evicted and forced to euthanize her pets. Isn't this a wonderful example of the fact that people do still care?
There is still goodness in the world.
