No "thanks" are necessary and I haven't really even mentioned it because I think it is just doing what is right. As you could imagine, here in rural TN, many do NOT treat animals well. I'd say "most" but don't mean to condescend (although it really SEEMS so). I have had idiots throw puppies out of moving trucks while I am walking my dogs and they barely slow down. 20MPH? I had my next door neighbor threaten to shoot (with a pistol, mind you) a dog I was feeding because it was some sort of "threat."
When I say "humane society" that is not really true. It is two sisters who own a big farm and are also sick of this sort of attitude. They have taken in hundreds if not thousands of animals and need both physical as well as economic help.
Nina, my rat terrier, had a previous owner that kept her in a freakin' cat carrier all day, FFS!! Of course, all are good "church goin' Baptists" but don't get me started there.
My only hope is that the gates of Heaven are held by an animal.... [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Sunday, August 23, 2009 7:50:25 PM)

Oh KEWL! Looks like I showed up at the right time!
Great news about the job, J.D. I'll start thinking up some evil we can do with that sucker ASAP!
(oh, and btw....I donate regularly to both our local humane society as well as to the one in Michigan where I got my two rescue birds. I've easily placed a hundred animals over the years and actually HELP in the cleaning and care of animals at our local rescue place. Plus, I am nice! HAAAAA!!!). Now then, back to the peening.... :)
