I think you have more patience than most to keep repeating the same things over and over again.

I think this is a lovely statement for you to memorize.......

: I have been accused of being aggressive from time to time. In my eyes, I'm not being aggressive, I'm being honest but I guess when someone is on the recieving end of my honesty they don't want to see it that way. People are constantly asking me to put myself in their shoes and see it from their point of view -I think I'm going to start doing the same thing. Put yourself in the shoes of a person/people who rescue these animals, who give up more than one room or portion of room in their homes, give up vacations and free time, spend money caring for other people's animals, rejoice in the victories and cry over the defeats of loosing one and these people, myself and husband included, do all this willingly, never looking for a pat on the back or glory -we do it just because we love animals. So, next time someone thinks I am being aggressive stop and put yourself in my shoes before biting my head off or making some lame attempt to belittle me.

And never forget the important work you are doing. Just think of the applause when you get to the rainbow bridge!! I don't have the link, but I printed out the rainbow bridge story about how how when a rescuer comes to the bridge, he or she may take all the unloved pets that are waiting.

Congratulations! Wendy.
