So many people have been just pouring out the support, it's unreal. I can't even begin to thank everyone enough, just know that each and every one of you who have said even the slightly words of encouragment are appreciated so, so much.

A lot of people have been asking how they can help me get a dog, that they want to do whatever they can. I've been telling everyone that I really don't need anything any more. That's not true. A dog is a long-term commitment, and if someone wants to donate $1 for a chew bone or $100 for a fence panel because they WANT to, not because they feel obligated because it's an emergency situation, I shouldn't discourage them from doing what they really would like to do.

I'm not expecting anything from anyone. This was an expense I was going to take on, on my own before this whole thing happened. But the more offers I get for help, the more I'm getting the feeling that people really want to help in order to somehow heal a little bit. I don't think I'm wording that right.

We'll be bringing home Cinder on Friday. I could get her right now, but it's too late to make it to the shelter, and I'd rather wait until Friday when we can take our time getting to know her on a weekend night.

I have a PayPal account if anyone would like to sponsor some of Cinder's care that way. PM me and I'll mail you the account name. If you'd like to do it anonymously through DocJohn or through a money order, I can give my mailing address to him to forward to you.

Like I said, I don't expect even 1 penny, but I just sense that some people NEED to do this for all kinds of different reasons.

Edited to say: Just go to my profile for the addy if you don't want to PM me in case you're too shy. It's the same as the e-mail address, not the Yahoo name.
