Wow....

All I can say is wow.  If you don't know, this link and this link explains my lack of words.

Onto the more positive-we added to the brood today.  A puppy mill was raided the other day very close to where I live.  Being the animal lover that I am, I immediately wanted to help in any way I could.  I expressed my desire to foster/adopt one of the dogs to Jamie (yes, another change coming, I am using our real first names) with less than positive feedback.  I decided to stop by today after work and see if there was anything I could do to help or find out if there were any restrictions on fostering.  I was mainly concerned because we have two dogs, Bree (female yorkie-poo) and Jake (male collie mix), and wanted to know if that mattered at all.  As you can imagine, the scene was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time.  I stood in line for fostering a dog.  When it was my turn, there were three dogs left.  And four of us in line.  One couple came all the way from Lexington.  Another woman had a very eager child with her.  And the other lady was going to make the dog the nursing home mascot.  The question was asked if there were any other small animals that needed homes.  The puppy mill was busted and dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, an owl, and two wolves were found.  The lady replied that there is a hamster needing a home.  It was found next to a garbage can.  Volunteers assumed there was nothing in the cage and it was sitting there waiting to be thrown out.  Wrong!

Meet Snowy!

And a very happy Ryan and Nick!

On that note, my name is Aimee... Nice to "meet" you!  ;)
