Well...lots! There is a soldier I read about who has fallen in love with the cutest little black and white pup over in Iraq and is trying to find a way for him to get back to the USA. It was a story of true love. As a dog lover, I can't imagine falling in love with Lucy or Wrigley and then having to leave them in another country to fend for themselves. So...that weighs heavy on my heart and in my prayers.

Another thing on my mind of course is the misuse and abuse of my favorite breed...the pit bulls. Jennifer, a gal in my group who runs a very small rescue (2-4) dogs is getting 30 on Saturday from Houston. Out of 100 dogs, only 30 lived. These poor babies are so neglected they are skin and bones and starving for not only food, but love and attention. How can people be so cruel? I wish I could go and help her with them, but she is in Las Vegas, and being out of work, doesn't really leave much resources for me to work with. So...I'll send what I can...I have some blankets and towels and old sheets. I'm sure they will help. One good thing is, Animal Planet is sending a reporter to cover the story. One of the girls from the group, sent an email to them to ask for a donation to help. For those that want to make a monetary donation, they have a paypal account set up, the email addy for that is lvwrinklerescue@hotmail.com.

We have been watching Mamma and her babies on line thanks to Patrick. He set up a webcam at his home and is letting the world (and our group) be included in the rescue of this sweet girl and her babies. She gives him lots of kisses and lets him sit with her while she nurses the babies. It's really something to watch!

I've started helping teach the kids at church. We have a computer game/program which will allow us to email messages to the kids so they will have them whenever they log on to play the game. I don't have all of the specifics as I've just started, but it seems pretty cool. I'm excited to be with the kids and give back to the Lord.

I put in several applications at Mercy hospital yesterday and spoke with the HR assistant and another person in the department. I felt encouraged when I left. I know it may take some time as most places do but I believe that will be my next employer. :) Of course, I also got a call from 911 to go to the next step and take a test on Saturday, so I'll follow up on that. I could easily do that job too...well...not easily as I know there is much training involved, but that does sound like a very interesting job as well.

And then there is my job/house situation that still weighs on my mind but I can only do one day at a time and there is only so much I can do. So, I do what I can and let God do the rest.
