Little rock guy,
I think you summed it up to a T!
The little things we do in life may make huge differences in some one elses life and in the end our own.
This is not as important as the human lives here but I just want to relate this story.
I was looking to adopt a Doberman. None were showing up anywhere.
I suddenley found an ad for 2 Dobermans, completely trained but the girl would not seperate them. We exchanged many emails and I finally agreed to try the 2. She had over 100 replies but felt I had the right house. I refused to take the 2 together, but would try them for a weekend. They arrived at our home. They were larger than I ever could have imagined. Over 105 pounds each. I was overwhelmed when they arrived but they behaved like angels. Every day I expected to call her back and say come get them. I couldn't .....they charmed our lives. It is a year later.
I cannot imagine life without these dogs. The girl who gave us these dogs had lost her husband and had to go back to work and could not take care of them. One of them was 6 and was 3 years old. Both gifts from her husband. He had paid over $2500.00 per dog one being professionally police trained. I didn't know this until we permanently accepted these dogs.
My point being......When you do things from the heart you are paid 100 times over.
Now dogs are not the same as humans, but when your heart speaks, it is telling you whats right to do.
So if your heart responds to someone on this forum........answering may give you much joy.
