welki

thanks, bea. i've always done volunteer work. i know you do a lot of it

8:33 am

I don't help at the local animal shelter, but work closely with them as we try to keep the feral cat situation under control.

8:34 am

welki

then you really do lots for them, including keeping their costs down

8:34 am

welki

if you didn't control those ferals, there'd be all the more kittens for them to deal with

BzznBea

And more for me to feed. =)
