    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Please Look

Hey all, Rich aka Webslave asked me to remove link. In the past they had some bad things happen and I totally understand.

Thank you Laura for helping! My friend surpassed the donation she asked for. One of the clients where she works part time donated $500!

I totally see Rich's point of view and thanked him for totally respectful message I received.

The very first dog I ever had was a Boxer that followed me home from elementary school. She had no collar, was thin and dirty, but was adult, tail and ears docked, knew basic commands, and so so sweet. We lived in a 3-story house, so I snuck her into the basement/utility room via a back door at night and fed her people food, lol. In the mornings, I would let her out before school and would leave the back basement door open a bit. She was always around the house when I returned from school, waiting for me. One day our live-in maid saw her in the utility room. Maid lived in the finished bedroom/living area across from the basement/utility room. She called the cops, they sent the dog pound and Duchess was gone.

Fast forward a week or so. I raised such an unholy fit for the week she was gone that my dad reluctantly went to the pound and adopted her back, once no one claimed her and the pound released her. They were not dog people, lol. She was my loyal, loving companion for many years and my family grew to love her as well. She really was the perfect dog.

I don't have much but happily donating :)
 
Thanks Laura my friend was excited! Very nice of you to help! I edited original post so please read.
 
My pleasure, Joe. In retrospect, I can see why Rich might ask you to remove the link.
 
This is Kevin.He had 6 teeth pulled and both eyelids repaired. He had inverted eye lids and got fixed. He goes back next week to have one eye removed and 2 more teeth. He can see slightly through bad eye but is ulcerated and possibly damaged or missing tear duct.

Kevin is totally deaf. He is doing really well with hand signals and is being taught to jingle bells on door to go outside. As you can see by his nose he was born with a cleft but palate closed on it's own. He lives with 2 other boxers and a grumpy basset hound who will actually play with him and 3 cats.

Kevin was scheduled to have brown eye removed. The vet looked at eye and said, let's do another surgery as it is looking much better. So they did that and my friend said he was up most night crying. Woke up this morning and had to separate him from other dogs because he wanted to rough house, lol. Guess the meds finally kicked in! A little lumpy but doing well!

I hope Kevin has a wonderful year, he obviously already knows how to have fun.
 
His eyes are looking so much better! So good to see him improving with love and care.
