Kym, i accept this challenge, with much appreciation that you posted it. FML has had alot of positives. I have learned so much on this post and have used much of what i have read. I want to thank all those that run shelters. You do a very important work. I run a very limited one and find it hard to keep it that way. Can't say no to anybody who wants to put a fuzzie in a shelter. They need us. But to those that have shelters with the large numbers in, thank you. You are an inspiration for me. I read your posts and it amazes me how you all do it so well. You are caring wonderful people. You also give insight and support to all of us. I feel so bad that Dr. Williams felt he had to leave. I understand it though. You will be missed by all of us. He was truly a positive for this post. Big, you are a very important part of the FML. It is a tough job and you do it well, thank you. I do appreciate this post. I look forward to reading all those who respond to the challenge. May we start being more positive and less argueing. Disagreeing nicely is better than bickering. Sincerely, Dana [Posted in FML issue 3333]
