WOW, and double WOW, total pg. 31

I, too, am thankful for the CMHR organization- working behind the scenes day to day to help minis in need. Thank you all for your tireless efforts to ease the pain and suffering of those precious horses that have come into your lives - to help them live healthy, happy, and dignified lives on this earth. Thank you so much!

And, today I am particularly thankful I was able to bring my mare, Blondie, home from the hospital after her second sinus surgery in a 5 week period. I am thankful I found a surgeon and his staff so excellently trained to do the surgery, and with the compassion that provided my girl the love and attention she so needed during nearly a two week stay at the hospital a long way from home. She is home - we got home late this afternoon - she looks great and seems very happy. I understand she was 'spoiled rotten' while at the hospital. But, I personally don't think she was spoiled, I think she was given the compassion and love she needed to recover so well

And, with time, I pray she will continue to heal. She is a joy to my life and I want to spend many years with her around

You see, a part of me would be missing without my horses- I think you all know what I mean

And, my list of what I am thankful for wouldn't be complete without mentioning my family and health. Too often we may take these for granted. I pray I will never do that and will always be mindful of how fortunate I am to have both.

Happy Holidays to you all ~

Peggy

I am thankful for so many things, but mostly, at this minute, I am thankful that my Dad is finally home after haveing some problems after his surgery. He is now well on the way to mending.

I always love this thread! I'm thankful for my wonderful husband, my parents, that I have a home and my animals are all healthy.

Sending in my donation as soon as I post this.

5 horses x $3 = $15

2 kitties (who love the horses) x $3 = $6.00

2 humans (who love the horses) x $3 = $6.00

__________

$27.00 + $3 to make an even $30.00

IT'S THE SNAIL MAIL MATCH!!!!!

All you need to do is mail your donation of $3 or more by the US Postal Service, with a postmark of Nov. 24, or Nov. 25, and an extra $1 donation will be made to CMHR. So if you have been waiting to get yours in the mail NOW is a great time! It will earn CMHR another $1.

The address of where to mail your donation appears on page 1.

No body has anything to do on Sunday, it is too cold, so take the time to sit and write a check, money order, to CMHR for your $3 donation so one horse out there isn't cold!

This has always done well in the past, and it is sure to keep Gini on her toes! So Gini, you now have to go to the mail box and you have to keep track of those 2 postmark dates. K?

Wow.... I haven't been on this website since October 30 because I no longer have Minis. I do still belong to a few Mini Yahoo groups, and do you know I have not heard *anything* about this fundraiser at all?!?!?

None of the mini lists I am subbed to are talking about this. That's horrible!! I had no idea that this was going on and its such a great idea! I'll bet you raise more money asking for $3, than the fund raiser I received this week from a local charity who wants $50!

I also noticed that while I was reading this thread, I was the only one reading it! 21 pages, and I was the only one reading the whole time. Well, I am off to spread the word about this great idea, but first, I am going to write a check for $20 in memory of my wonderful little Sammy who I lost on August 21, 2008 after having him only 2 very short years. He was 11, so I thought I would have him in my life a lot longer.

Thanks for everything you do!
