"Yes, Shoo-shoo, there are Hooman Angels! They live on the Earth and they do wonderful things!" "What? Oh, yes, they are very loving, generous, and nurturing. That is what Angels are." "Oh, these Angels are real; you can touch them and see them. They can talk to you, hold you, tickle your tummy and give kisses too." "Where do they live?" "You silly little fur child! they live all around us." "They have many jobs here on Earth. When they are done here, they will return to Heaven, to the Rainbow Bridge just like Reb did. An Angel's work is to Love for eternity." "Where are they? They are all around us! They have many names here. Some are called Shelter Moms or Dads. Some are called Volunteers. Some have no names but they donate money or things to raffle to help the other Angels care for all the fur babies." "How can we help them?" "there are so many ways Sammie!" "I think respect for what they sacrifice for all the fur children is one of the most important things we can do for them. We can help them when they need help. After all, they are doing so much to care for all the babies who would not otherwise have a warm, clean bed to sleep in, or nice, yummy food to eat. They provide a safe place from the cold and the dangers of being alone in the outdoors." "Why are people often so rude to them? Oh, children, I can't answer that question! I just don't know the answer why people criticize them then they ask for help. It saddens my heart when they do that. An Angel asking for help so that they can keep helping the unwanted fur children would be such a privilege to be able to respond to." "I think that is a wonderful idea Shoo-shoo!!" "OK, our New Year's resolution will be to help more Shelter Angels. We can't change people who are quick to criticize, but slow to help, but we can change what we do. And maybe we should also add that we will help in a gracious manner. these Angels deserve that!" Deva [Posted in FML 5477]
