I've taken in a few animals that were destined for euthanasia and the care I've given has been rewarded over time with loving pets. I'm glad to hear you have adopted an abused dog and am sure it's made a difference.

Choggie that is my lovely kitty. Found her under a porch half starved but she's happy and chubby now.

These are lovely.

That's a lovely story, Catherine.

Thanks seltaeb. I couldn't have said it better myself - or said it at all for that matter.

Sorry about that. I've corrected it.

This was the caption under one of the photos:
"Turbo, a Marco Island Doberman, is safely back at his home and with his family after residents say some dolphins helped the dog stay afloat in a canal for several hours."

Is there such a thing as cat overload? I think not.

Thanks for the update Montanan. That's good news.

I think it looks great if you view it as American folk art.

Good photos, Billiam. Thanks.

I have to admit that I didn't quite get it either, Exxos. I thought it was because I'm a total dope when it comes to physics.

Update: Within hours of his story appearing in the Daily Echo, the Blue Cross Centre in West End, was inundated with calls, including one from a lady in Worthing who was able to reserve him first.

Yesterday she met Charlie, who has had his ears and nose removed after suffering from skin cancer, and the pair immediately bonded.

Lexxie, there are numerous Blue Cross adoption centres throughout Britain and the article doesn't say which one Charlie lives at. You could inquire but I'm almost certain he has been adopted by now with all the publicity he's received.

I agree. I prefer very plain candles but the video hooked me in.
