From Our Animals to You — “Thank you for the Christmas Cards!” Some time ago we gave HSU members an opportunity to send in “hug” cards with their donations to the animals, and it was a great success (please see Speaking of Animals Summer 2012)! In fact, the shelter was so awash with the love and goodwill sent by caring people whose hug messages covered every single cage and kennel that we thought it would be a lovely idea to do it again this past Christmas, and once again we were inundated with delightful holiday greetings of good cheer for the shelter residents. Many of you even included photos of your own beloved companions to offer encouragement to the animals waiting here for equally wonderful homes of their own! Here’s just a small sampling of the literally hundreds of special greetings that we received, along with pawsonal portraits of some of the givers — top row, left to right, Indee the Cat and Rosie Dean the Wonder Dog; bottom row, Max (playing Santa), Nickolus the Noble, and (way down at the bottom wearing the stylish stripes) kitten Joe, under Nickolus’s watchful eye.

We hope the new year brings all of you as much joy and hope as you have given us. v
