<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">Wow Sandi what an adventure thank
you for sharing. Sometimes we have no idea what exactly rescues do. Dawn sounds
like an angel. In fact she is an angel to her hounds. Thank goodness we have
people like her to care for the older hounds and give them a nice life.

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">I know what you mean about wanting
to strangle people through the phone I get that way often.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">We went to the Pet Expo last
weekend and I wanted to share something that happened to me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">A gentleman (and I use the term
loosely) walked up to me and said I am with the Min Pin rescue, yeah I had Min
Pin puppies for sale and couldn't sell them so I relinquished them to the rescue
and I volunteer so I can visit with them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS"> Okay I thought so you are
stupid but I did not say anything I just smiled. Then he said I have a basset
pregnant with ten puppies, we had a sonagram done to find out how many we were
going to have so we could start selling them before they are born and I just
wanted to ask you if we cannot sell them all can I give them to the Basset
rescue? My Vice- President wanted to slap him but she just contained herself and
glared at me to see what I would say. I said you know there are enough dogs in
the shelter we should not be breeding our dogs and making more who might be
homeless someday. I do not know if I would have space we are full right now
there are so many dogs needing homes. ( of course I would take them but wanted
to say something that might spark a brain cell in his stupid head)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">You would think being in rescue
someone would know that. He just walked away smiling grabbing one of our cards
so he would have our number.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">Then I saw a rescue at the Expo
with an in heat female and unnuetered males in their booth. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">There is no way to fix stupid.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">Thank goodness most rescues are
like Daphneyland where the hounds are actually treasured.
