Hi everyone, I know I wrote recently of being off line for a while, but after what transpired today and over the last week in our community of Rochester, NY; I am hoping BIG will allow this link. If you need a boost of goodness to move you into 2013 with hope and optimism for a better country, I think this link will help. This truly is the American Spirit. These are the men and women in our communities who know what family is. For many of us, our pets are part of our families. We have heard many times over how they have saved our pets. South Shore Ferret Care had two fires within weeks that involved their foster families or helping place a ferret. That was a few years ago. My new year plans have already started with more acts of kindness. My feeling is, If I can put some good into my world each day - make someone else's day a bit brighter, that positive energy will over power the evil that has become too prealent. If I care, others will too. Here is an outstanding example of the good of Americans. Just read down through some of the passages and check out the pictures. If we can't care for each other as humans, it will be harder to encourage others to reach out to other species. Best wishes for a year of kindness.
