<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I did
some grocery shopping today, and like usual I bring my cloth bags full of stuff
in the back door and sit them on the floor next to the freezer, then go get
more. The girls always have a wonderful time sticking their noses in the
bags and sniffing everything. Anna decided to help me unload the bags
today, which is a first. Started in from the driveway with the second
batch and as I came in the back gate, there she was out in the yard shaking the
daylights out of something. I yelled Anna, Anna and she stopped and gave
me that look, you know the one, "Oh sh** I'm busted!" So I
walked over to see what she had, it was a new bag of one of their favorite
treats and if I'd been about 30 seconds later the package would have been
completely open and Miss Piggy would have been scarfing them down. Picked
it up, told her what a good girl she was for stopping the destruction when I
yelled, and continued unloading. Anna was found out in the country trying
to survive on her own, most of the way starved and living on garbage and road
kill, so she is my eater extraordinaire. She does not plan on ever
missing another meal. We understand and it's okay. Saw the pictures
of Pearl today, the latest starved old senior that has been lucky enough to
land at Daphneyland (and Synthia's house, too). You look at her and you
are looking at my Anna about two years ago. Thank you Dawn and Synthia
and everyone who had a hand in helping Pearl this week. We will keep our
paws crossed that she has lots of time so she can eat like a piggy and sleep in
a warm, soft bed, and feel loved again. Happy Holidays to everyone, and
hang in there Pearl.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
