  This made me laugh out loud
oh so cute!

Here is a note from the girl who adopted the grey kitten, whom she named Dahlia, and her brother last year (as pictured above). As it was, Dahlia was a sweetheart, and would cry for attention, while her brother, Lou, was terrified. After the girl took them home, she wrote to me panicked, worried Lou would never come around, although Dahlia was a sweetie.

Dahlia is horrible she is just the worst cat, she gets everything she wants, toys, beds, treats, great food, scratch posts, scratch post trees, constant love and attention….and she is whiney bitch…she meows allllll daaaaaaayyy loooooong…she jumps on everything scratches everything but what she is supposed to, she is just bad.beautiful though. Fat Lou (that’s what we call him) is great, I think he hates Dahlia cause she never shuts up and she scratches him. I will take some pictures for you. Lou came around to me, Joel is too big and tall I think for him, he gets scared.

Making a difference

A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.

One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.

When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.

An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.

When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."

The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
