More Mixed News

It seems like there has been an awful lot of mixed news lately. In a way, it's better that we have the mix - the sad news would be much harder to deal with if there wasn't happy news to follow.
To start, Hendrix the one-eyed African Soft Furred rat passed away. Like Book the zebra finch, his death was sudden and most likely not related to his disability. His permanent wink will be missed.
The better news is that Gibbs, DiNozzo, and McGee the dwarf hamsters have healed. Their umbilical infections have cleared up thanks to Baytril and a little extra loving. Their foster dad was a great help with this, even though they gave him some trouble with the medication.

In other good news, SP-BH now has a bank account! This means that donations can be made to the rescue directly, which will be infinitely simpler for Rachel and Ray. Donations are not tax deductible. We are hoping to become tax expempt by the end of the year, at that point donations will be tax deductible. Speaking of the founders, let's give them a great big hurrah for all the work they've been doing to get Small Pets-Big Hearts, Inc. the incorporated status that it deserves. Everything they do is for the benefit of the animals who are so often overlooked when families consider a pet. Literally hundreds of small animals have been given loving homes because of their efforts. Please help them out. Adopting, fostering, and donating are all ways you can help and become a part of the Small Pets-Big Hearts phenomenon.

aaawww, you make me blush Kitty. All the little ones are great and they deserve to be helped. They need it.
And neither Ray or I could continue without the support of you and many others.
We are grateful to so many people, and so are all the rescues.
