Beth,

It's nice to see that you took my concerns/post for what they were, constructive criticism (although I don't like using the word "criticism" with "constructive" because it almost sounds like an oxymoron.).



You did a good job of giving me a better view of your thought process without coming across as defensive. That's not easy to do. It sure is nice to feel that we can discuss things without getting personal & out of hand and I have to admit that you gained quite a bit of respect from me due to the nature of your reply.



I see your point, I think you see mine; we're both considering everything. That's effective discussion. I don't feel a need to say anything more about it.



I also want to thank you for giving everyone a good "behind the scenes" view of animal rescue. A lot of people don't have any idea of the personal & financial sacrfices rescuers have to make, and how much rescuers need & depend on others.



I'm small-time compared to you as I only get a few animals here & there on a persoanl level from people that know we keep all sorts of animals. I tried to go big-time but couldn't find enough people willing to meet for 30 minutes once a month to form a BOD (Board of Directors) for non-profit status.



Thank you for a pleasing & effective discussion!



Hang in there and have a great day!

Mike
