Sarah here; special edition to our news that can not wait!
The shelter is now a Charitable Non-profit Organization; mum got the letter from the IRS yesterday! Is that weasel dancing news or what? Mum and I have been dancing the happy dance since the letter was pulled from our PO Box.
Three major benefits:
1. All future donations to the shelter are tax deductible for the donor;
2. The shelter is eligible to apply for grants that require charitable non-profit status from granting groups;
3. The shelter is eligible to apply for NY sales tax exemption for all its expenses.
Thank you Miss Kathy for putting up with our mum and the board to get this done! You all rock!
A wonderful humbling event here at the shelter.

NO! NO! NO! It can’t be true!
Possum left for Rainbow Bridge this morning! Mum got her up at 5 am to feed her, mum held her while she ate her soup and had her meds. Mum put her back in the sick pen, then left for work. When mum got home she found Possum gone – she left for the bridge while mum was at work. Possum knew mum would not want her to go!
Oh we are so sad we lost our Possum!
Final Goodbye
I look upon your upturned face
Your eyes half closed to sleep
Serenity overcomes you
Your breath comes soft and deep
I knew this time was nearing
Though I never guessed so soon
It seems it was just yesterday
That I first brought you home
Oh the joy that you have brought me
Over all these years we’ve shared
Mean more to me than anything
You were an answer to my prayers
I sense that you must leave now
And so I say farewell
Just know that I still love you
And that I always will

Sarah here – mum said I could do the new years wish this year so here goes , we are 5 hours into the new year – mum slept through the parties and the crazy ball drop! The nice thing is she got to watch all that stuff without staying up past her bed time because they are running it on the TV this morning.
We wish for all of you the best year ever, good health, good friends, loving family and lots of weasel dances in your life.
We also want to thank you for being loyal shelter friends, making what mum loves to do easier because of the things you do for us! To name all the things that get done for us would be miles and miles of words so to keep this simple and short >
Me and mum say thanks for touching our lives, for being who you are, for doing what you do to help us here, for caring for the mum that cares for us, for picking us off the giving tree, for taking some of us home with you to love, without you in our lives this shelter would not run as smoothly as it does.
So the New Year brings with our wish to you a grand thank you for all you do!
HAPPY
NEW
YEAR!
