Rescue Updates

Readers will remember little Fiona, the backyard dog , seized by SPCA last month...Most exciting news, she's landed a fantastic forever home! New permanent foster mom states "... Hi Michelle ... f irst off I would like to tell you how much I personally appreciate all the hard work you put into your newsletter. I read it from cover to cover ever week.   I have been approved to adopt Fiona and I will be picking her up Monday at 10 am.  I always have a palliative care pet in my home at all times. Hard on the heart, but the joy they bring out weighs the loss when they go.  Christina K. (Ed note: thank for your very kind words Christina, and thanks for your uber kindness, making room for Fiona in your heart and in your home. Yes, it's hell on the heart, but we wouldn't have it any other way, would we??? Keep us posted on her progress, and bless you for your generosity of spirit...)


I'm sure by now, you've all heard me reference a/o quote my dearest-darlingest Ma. She had, as all those who knew her would attest, a MOST particular way of using language. Even us kids often turned to each other in amazement, wondering, where in heaven's name did THAT expression come from?... One of her best, 'old reliables' was "Sloppy Easter". We will never know the origins of that expression, but believe me, she wore it out during her lifetime. So I'm wishing everyone (and my Ma) a "Sloppy Easter", whatever the heck it may mean. Hope the Easter Bunny is good to you! m.
