I have worked my butt off since Friday night when we helped with the hoarding case in Tipp City. I have hustled to help find rescues for the dogs that were the victims of this situation. I have combed the internet for rescues, gone through 1400 cell phones minutes in the last 3 days, and have sent more emails in the last 72 hours then I have in my entire life. Today I had to go back to work, and still all day I texted and returned phones calls and emails to people that were interested in the dogs. I know this has all been appreciated, and I am saving lives which is really what is important to me. I have met amazing people, and seen a side of people that I forgot existed. These 72 hours have been worth everything I have put into them, and I am reminded this every time one more dog is adopted. Last night a "troll" made some unkind comments about the rescue efforts, and how we weren't doing enough. Even though I knew the things she said were not true, in my delusional, sleep deprived mind I started to let her comments get to me and it really hurt.
After I saw this amazing picture and poem that Fur the Love of Dog and Rick Lothes made for me, I am completely and utterly humbled. Thank you so much for this gift! It is beautiful and means the world to me. It is all I needed.....
Oh Emily! Or should we call you Saint Emily, Patron Saint of Dogs in Need? You are gifted in so many ways. Whoever the "troll" was (BTW-love that definition) is a dope. Although I can't help on this one, I have shared your efforts with many and am very proud that I can call you a friend! You go girl! And take care of yourself too!!!
