I'm so glad there are organizations like these helping our big-eared fluffy friends out!<br />And what a humbling experience- I always find that I have absolutely nothing to complain about when faced with the harsh realities of those struggling. My co-workers and i often make jokes when complaining about our "first-world problems". It's great to be reminded of how much we have to be grateful for.Bevimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924337684790883853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-26648007554155083862013-09-23T13:03:48.003-07:002013-09-23T13:03:48.003-07:00@Heather, aww, that's too bad. :(@Heather, aww, that's too bad. :(Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-73522829485917183602013-09-22T21:28:40.535-07:002013-09-22T21:28:40.535-07:00Aw, so cute!
