<DIV>Basil the Old Guy has had a legion of angels come to his aid! All of his boarding days are covered and we had a little extra for a bath and nail trim so he'll be handsome when he goes home. Thank you, thank you, thank you SO MUCH to everyone who sent money and best wishes for this dear sweet soul. Our guess is he's 12 or 13, and who knows what his life was like before, but we sure do know what his life is going to be like now!</DIV>
