First, I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your heartfelt comments and kind words about losing Patti. Alayne and I appreciated it a lot. Patti had been with us so long, and was such a part of us and our identity, that her loss was especially hard. But it meant so much to know how many lives she touched. Thank you.
I'll be taking a blog break for the rest of this week in light of the Thanksgiving holiday, and will resume posting for Monday, November 28th. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm especially thankful for both of you and all you do to make this world a better place and for the love and care you give all the fuzzies!

We wish you & Alayne a lovely Thanksgiving. I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreicate all the fantastic love and labor you give to all who have been and are in your care. You two are angels on earth and it's wonderful to have you helping educate people how "challenged" animals can live very happy lives.
I'm extremely grateful for you and all that you do.
Warm hugs to all,
ginger, Tobias & Tlingit

I know the animals in your care are thankful for their home with you and love from you. I'm thankful you do what you do and that you share with us. Happy Thanksgiving!

Vicki's quote says it all.
We RDF fans give thanks that you two wonderful, giving, unselfish people are in the world to see the value in animals no one else sees. RDF's critters give thanks every day for your love and care.

I am so sorry for your very personal loss of Patti. How wonderful that she was ale to go peacefully with you at home.
I love the saying that every time we lose a dog they take a piece of our heart with them and every new dog that comes into our llives gifts us with a piece of their heart.
Much sympathy to you both.

I am thankful that you two have huge hearts and can give these very deserving critters the love and care that they need. I am also thankful that my son told me about you when you were still in Montana. It has been a privilege to share your lives.
