I just wanted to tell you all thank you very much for your kind words...thoughts and prayers...PLEASE don't stop the prayers! As a lot of you know...we're having a very difficult time right now. A lot of you have written messages to me and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I value my "friends" on here more than you will ever know...you all mean the world to me. And what can I say about all the pictures of the BEAUTIFUL Chihuahuas and other pets that we share here...I love them all! I just wanted to thank you all for your support...but I wanted to let you know that I have to delete a lot of things without responding to them...I HATE to do that but I have over 1900 messages! I will not delete the pictures though My sister got a monitor for me off of freecycle... .I'm so glad..we met the people about half an hour from where we live. I'm so grateful! That was very nice of them to just give it to us. Dave is going to talk to the "Big Boss" at work tomorrow...and we're really hoping he can go back to work instead of being laid off...it's a LONG story...so I won't get into it now...but I sure hope he can continue to work. We know of people who have filed unemployment claims and still haven't received a check after a month! There's no way we can go that long with an income....I' ve contacted the Humane Society that I've been volunteering for ...for going on 14 years...and they're going to give me some cat food...and dog food....but the cats eat way more that the dogs...ANYWAY~ ~~The new year is almost here...we're spending it with my parents....our youngest son and his girlfriend. Nothing big...every year for as long as I can remember my family has always has sauerkraut.. .some kind of pork...and hot dogs...sausages .... mashed potatoes.... whatever people wanted...so that's what we're doing tomorrow night...and of course we'll watch the ball drop. So....again THIS year....we're hoping for the best and trying to stay positive...and see what happens. I was very depressed the other day when I wrote that email...but as a lot of you know...life can be really hard sometimes... not just for me...but for EVERYONE! I know a lot of you have lost loved ones this year just like us...and a lot have lost your beloved pets.....my heart goes out to all...believe me...I'm hurting with you...I just hope the we ALL have a better new year! My dad is still improving... doing great...and to me that was the BEST Christmas present I could ever have! Also my daughter and grand daughter are also doing great...I'm so thankful for all three of them...and the health of the rest of the family. And when The Humane Society told me they could give me some cat food tonight...I almost cried.I know a lot of the people who volunteer there...I've fostered for them over the years...stored things....did transport... picked thing up...dropped thing off...but mainly I handle the phones and have garage sales for them. Our president had a stroke about 6-8 weeks ago...I found out tonight that she's coming home from the nursing home where she was recovering on Friday. She's doing very good! I have NEVER seen a person so dedicated to the animals like she is...such a great ...sweet person. I've learned a lot from her. Well...I just wanted to give you guys an update...and I'll be writing more soon~~~Sharon PS~~~If anyone is going out for New Years~~~PLEASE be careful!
