What a heart warming story Mary. It's nice to hear when people help other people in this life. Evan seems like a great man, and I've e-mailed him this several times. It seems he's always trying to help someone and just giving so much goodwill for the breed. (didn't mean to embarass you Evan). Thanks for your this story. Nice way to start the day.
