Hey and Dooks to all the fuzz-butts !! Nominations for Hero of The Year ? Very difficult choice. In the year of so that I have been on the list, I have to nominate all of you on this list. BIG, Bob C, Suki, Lisette, Dorcus, so many others. In many ways you have been heroes to me and my ferts. When we needed help or advice - someone was there. When a shoulder to cry on was needed, someone was there. When we had a funny story or a tale that a "Fuzzy Challenged" person would not understand, someone was there to share it. In many ways we have lived, laughed, cried, and shared together. Yeah - from each subscriber, to BIG who helps keep this all together, from the Shelters to the Vets who are all part of this. You are all heroes. Yet, if I had to name one who made me laugh, cry, and brought me good memories - one who could fill my heart hope, peace, and solace - well, it would have to be Skeeter. For those who believe, Skeeter helps to bring us close to those who are no longer with us. He provides a "link" those who have crossed over. He helps to memorialize. Through his words we find comfort. Through his eyes we can picture those kritters that we love healed, happy, and playful - and waiting for us. <sigh> But where would we send the plaque ???
