For the Critters; Bleg Update 2

(Stickied for a couple of days.)

Gentle Readers, last Fall, I asked you to give some spare coin to my local animal shelter.

Quite a few of you did. So I want to share this bit of news with you:

For the first time in many, many years, the shelter finished the year in the black. Oh, sure, not by a lot. But in the black, for sure.

You guys made a difference.

My Humble thanks to you!

(And if you wanted to give some more, I won't be stopping you.)
