Oh Robert I am so sad for you. You have such a big heart and I know you will use it again. I so hate the restrictions of $$'s - I know someone had a suggestion about house/petsitting - when you feel up to it maybe work on that - I know several who do this daily - Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I've followed your messages with hope and admiration for your efforts. Not everyone has such a big heart to love unconditionally, and you have been an inspiration. Take care.
