Why the Lounge is a Good place to be
I have been humbled by Dogtown and other people I've never met and probably will never meet. These people have been moved to help me pay the veterinarian bills I incurred in the last few days. This has restored my faith in the good that this community is capable of.

My original thread about Miranda Rat Face

My follow-up thread with pictures of my pitiful girl

The very kind Dogtown's thread

I really don't know how to say thank you.

8. Yes, it is.
It's unique, fun, intriguing, entertaining, heartening, humbling.

5. Pretty well.
I went to visit her last night. She is terrified at that place. :cry: But once she realized I was there she settled down to some serious purring. She turned herself inside out to make sure I was petting her everywhere at once (except her chest and tummy, of course). She can't figure out how to walk on three legs yet, so she just flopped around like a furry, purring fish.

Thanks for asking. :)

3. How is she doing?
I wish I could contribute to her medical bills, but I'm so strapped for cash right now. You'll have all of my best wishes though. :hug: for you and kitty.

6. She's doing well, Myrna
See my reply to NJMaverick. I'm going to try to go and see her again tonight, if the weather doesn't make traffic come to a standstill.

And your good wishes are welcome; I need them just as much. Thank you so much. :hug:
