I just saw the clips. How lucky are those babies of yours to be with you, Leslie though knowing you, you probably feel the other way around. ;) You and your babies are awesome!
I truly admire your hard work through all this. Most people don't know how much of a commitment and dedication have to be involved doing what you are doing. You pretty much have to give up a lot of your own comfort and personal fun in order to make your babies's needs met. How selfless of you. It makes me very happy that you have been recognized for your beautiful heart and hard work finally. You most deserve it, Leslie. :) ;) :) Sending a lot of love and hugs to you and your precious babies. :) Song.

Wonderful clips Leslie, you are truly an angel!!!

Leslie, that clip made me cry! You do so much good and it is being recognized. Yes, you should be on the Ellen show.

Leslie:
Was there any increase in Squirts HGB or HCT from the lentils? I am sure this has to be the problem. I have stopped giving them to her altogether. I will see in about a month I will get a blood panel done. I am sure this is it, it made me sit straight up in bed. I had been praying to God for help solving this dilemma. I am very certain I have landed on it, I will have to wait for a blood test to confirm it though. I am going to wait a month to make sure her system is all cleared of anything going on from this and test her blood. She was having quite a bit of these with every meal, so maybe more than Squirt was getting.Blessings

Thanks, ya'll! There were actually times of laughter and smiles but they focused on the parts where I was bawling. :p:o But I couldn't help it. I was and remain overwhelmed with emotions about this. I walk through the living room and see those bags of feed and get teary all over! :rolleyes: My mom always accused my dad and me of being "sentimental old slobs" and she's right. Daddy and I would cry watching the Hallmark holiday commercials while Mama sat watching us, shaking her head. :p:D

THE ELLEN SHOW?!?!?! :eek::eek::eek: I would absolutely come undone! The week and a half between the interview and the airing of the segment was filled with nervousness just for a local show. I'm not comfortable in the lime light at all. :o I'm a real good mushroom - stick me in a dark corner, feed me crap, and I flourish! :p Besides, what I do is just a tiny scratch on a cog of a gear in the big machine of rescue. One of the TRUE stars of rescue is a family member here - Glynda. She has strength and courage I can only aspire to; she is a guiding light for me in my tiny efforts. Glynda goes into shelters looking for those to save who would be killed....what would have happened to Trink and Brick if not for her. ;) So sic Ellen on Glynda! :p BTW, for those who may not know - Glynda was chosen as the rescuer of the year last year. ;)

Glynda is amazing too and I dont know how she does what she does with such strength and determination.

But Leslie, if we could get you on a national show maybe we could get some much needed perks for you;):D

Nothing ventured, nothing gained:D:D:D:D

Wow I am really amazed at the wonderful people helping these animals. My hat is off to Glynda, that is a spectacular achievement.

Hi Leslie, if don't mind filling me in a little here since I'm lacking a lot of our family history on here and wondering about some stuff. Did you get Brick & Trink through Glynda? How did it come about? I'd really like to know more about Glynda and your rescue work. You guys are such beautiful minded people who I'm really honor to have met you even online. Beautiful people doing beautiful work for beautiful babies. :)

Glynda, lulusmom, seeks out pups who would not be likely to be adopted out of shelters due to age, illness, deformities, etc. Two of her rescue babies have become famous as representative of Eddie's Wheels - Willa and Webster - two pups born without front legs. She enters the nastiest, scariest, most horrible shelters imaginable and walks out with babies who would have died there either from lack of care or due to euthanization because the staff saw no hope. Glynda ALWAYS sees hope! Always!

She works with a California rescue called Mutts N Stuff and they do wondrous things for their babies. Glynda saw Trink's pic on Petfinder, listed as a Pug because her eyeballs were so huge from untreated Glaucoma they literally lay on Trink's cheeks. Glynda got her out, had her eyes removed, and blessed my world by letting me be Trinket's mom. Brick was found as a stray on the streets of LA, taken to a filthy shelter where Glynda found him and saved him - blind, gimpy and geriatric, he had no chance in that shelter but again, Glynda saw a gem. And again blessed our family by allowing me to be his mom. There are countless others she has saved and either found loving homes for or has kept herself until their final day, loving them with all her huge heart. She is tireless and fearless in her work, sacrificing daily for those in her care - as I said, the TRUE star of rescue.
