Hi All, Well X-mas has passed and tho I received many wonderful presents, including a complete set of 4 sized flashlights to search for poor lost fuzzies, it was a very hard time for me with RACY having passed on November 1st and therefore not getting to have x-mas with all her family. RACY I LOVE YOU SO! I do realize she is my own little Christmas Angel and that she watches over me and mine and I am so thankful for that but it is still hard for me. I want to thank very much, Ted Bartlett, Linda Doran and Paw Paw & Tater for writing to me with consolations. Most of all I have to thank a wonderful man that found such warmth in his heart as to track down my phone # and call me on Christmas nite long distance and talked to me for 2 hours about RACY and all the loved ones he is missing now too. He helped me immeasurably and brightened my holiday more than he will ever know. I have been able to tell from his posts just how dedicated he is to all his kids and how much knowledge he has gathered about their care especially when confronted with illness. I know he will always be willing to impart this hard-gained knowledge to others hoping to help other fuzzies be well in the end. The name of this most wonderful, big-hearted and generous man is GARY HOLOWICKI!!! Thank you with all my heart Gary for you did more for me this X-mas than you could ever know. Therefore you also made life better on this holy nite for all my kids as well. Sorry if I am rather mushy about all this but I was soooo amazed that Gary cared so deeply he would call long distance and talk for so long about such a difficult subject. Gary you are a jewel among men and I shall never forget this most precious gift you have given to me this nite! I hope to do the same for another hurting soul in the future so that will be my gift to you, to pass on the caring you have showed to another human being. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must mention the most wonderful gift other than Gary's that I received this holiday. On DEC. 22nd I received in the mail from a city quite a ways from my own the 1st full-fledged totally paid for membership to F.A.N.G.! I intend to color copy the check and have that baby framed!!!!! I'm so silly sometimes. It seems the club is off and running and a ton of paid for memberships are promised after the new year when people have some money. I am most excited that this club is working out, I knew I just needed to be patient and keep plodding onward. To the two people that requested info. on starting a small club/ rescue/ shelter, I will be composing all my ideas for you very soon and sending them off to you. It was just too busy at this time of year to get it done but I have NOT forgotten you. Kelleen & The INSANE Animal House [Posted in FML issue 1425]
