Well what a wonderful way to be rem...Wow, really?!? Well what a wonderful way to be remembered! Guess I always have had a soft spot for small, helpless things - whether they be children or animals. And, if you have any inclination at all toward some sort of animal rescue volunteer work, I strongly encourage you to look into it! There are about a million jobs that need doing - from tiny things to big things - and they all need doing desperately! I know a person who goes to the shelter for a couple of hours on the weekend just to walk the dogs, get them out of their runs for a little bit. The social interaction with people helps their "adoptability" too. <br /><br />Hey!! You know what YOU would be good at?? Writing website descriptions! One of the things that entices people to go meet a particular dog or cat, besides the photo, is the website description. You are so good at writing, and with your sense of humor - you would be excellent at that! Check out some of them on www.gsdrescue.org, and at www.petfinder.org, and you'll see what I mean. Many times there are no descriptions at all (since stretched rescue organizations often don't have time to get anything up besides a photo), some descriptions are well, boring. And some (I personally love the ones on GSRA's website) make you want to drop everything and go meet the animal in question. :) Just a thought....<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for reading and thanks for the wonderful comments.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977519363610601316.post-2859397314583918942009-08-31T14:27:35.388-04:002009-08-31T14:27:35.388-04:00(I deleted my originalcomment b/c I'd called y...(I deleted my originalcomment b/c I'd called you by name..stoooooooopid me. accept now my edited version!!)<br /><br />Well, this entire post only confirms what I remember of you... When I'd reconnected with you on Facebook I told my bride that I remembered you as being "one of the sweetest souls I've ever encountered." Honest to God spoke these exact words. Well this post and your work confirms that this is still the case. I've considered many, many times doing some type of volunteering along these lines...but my sheepishness (if that's a word) about animals in need and time constraints have kept me from it. You may have inspired me to look into it, however. Excellent post..(I'm in my office and now strongly compelled to go home and give Maggie the wonderdog a hug and take her for a walk.)Timothy Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657867755997782442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977519363610601316.post-25905047323309305142009-08-31T14:25:09.841-04:002009-08-31T14:25:09.841-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Timothy Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657867755997782442noreply@blogger.com
