Thanks very much. That means a lot to me:)
I tried to respond to you last evening, but it didn't go
thru, so I am trying again:)
I swear I would have never posted the ad had I known it'd
cause so much chaos, however I am glad I did because, a lady
contacted me she lives very far away from anything, and no
sanctuary's near her, she came across me and now she has a
home for her baby........ So depsite all that has been said
and posted here, something good always comes out the bad:)
I know people are going to say what they want, and so,
let'em. I know who I am, I know what i do, and sp do people
that TRULY know me.
Anyways, thanks again, you are much bigger perso nthan most
here who have posted:) Godbless
