3 Cheers for Barb and ML

We're just going to link you to Not the Mama's blog since he is the one giving the award to Barb. for saving Whitey. You can read Whitey's story on Gandalf & Grayson's blog.

And Barb, we think Not the Mama made a good choice. That's a wonderful thing you did, saving Whitey and giving him a home.

And we can think of some others who deserve recognition too. Such as ML of Missy, KC and Bear, and Auntie Deb who was visiting her, taking in Charlie cat after his mom went into hospice. And then ML, in the midst of her own crises -- her own health problems and her husband having another stroke -- made the decision to give the little old fighter the chance to get well enough to come home to live the rest of his life with his new family. He won't have long, perhaps a month to a year, so the decision to vet him these last weeks has not been cheap and was not made lightly. Mom ML and Dad Charley, we would love to give you an award but we are graphically inept, so the only thing we have of value to give you -- 3 cheers of our own (Buddy, you're supposed to cheer, not howl!) and a heartfelt salute for going above and beyond to help a furry.
