Mario, I bet it was a hoot touring the shelter

, are they private or publicly funded? I bet you felt all warm and fuzzy helping the little owl out. I have never had the opportunity to visit a wildlife rehab center, but I believe its one way us two-leggers can give something back to mother nature. I have been to the SPCA, and always have a feeling of dread, not being able to give ALL the critters a new home.
Polly, I here you about the distracted female shopper, the only thing worse is a tunnel-visioned woman at a clearance sale. My Mom was a city girl, and you know what they say about them, "you can take the girl out of the city, but you CAN'T take the city out of the girl".
