So good that you acknowledge your family's rescue efforts. I often feel as though my children are unsung heroes. I made sure they received recognition by getting a "pet care" badge at cubs. They were supposed to do a little research project on vaccinations etc relevant to looking after dogs, but they knew it all off by heart and they are only 8 and 10 years old. They give up a time with me and a lot of emotional energy for the dogs we have rescued. When I am at the end of my tether, and they must be close to it too, they say, "please just help that one, mum", knowing all the repercussions that entails. Thanks kids (and our long suffering resident dog, Charlie)!! ;)
