i hear ya! i've had my fair share of losses as well. i was a shelter maanger for a local humane society! 50 dogs at a time, just me. no help.
i use to name the puppies poopy butt, goofy butt, boopy butt, etc....i sure had fun with them. i use to love to see pictures of them when they are all grown up after i hadn't seen them for a year or so. it makes me so proud! but my heart still lays with the seniors. :O) --leigh ann On 9/30/07, Sharon Norman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Leigh Ann....I volunteer for a local humane society so I know what > you mean about taking care of sick animals.
