And to you Worn, I also was involved in rescue work until I became pregnant with the second one. Once he gets a little older, I am going to have them volunteer with me to a) learn how to give back, and b) learn responsibilities where animals are concerned....not just the ones that curl up with you in the bed.
Mama and Daddy always said it's how you play the game - trade to trade well and the rest will fall into place ;-)
