I have heard Stedman speak three times now, and at the end of each one of his seminars,he ends with a quote by Dr. King. Some of you may have heard it before, others may be reading it for the first time.... live it, breathe it, enjoy it!
"If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. Be be the best little shrub on the side of the hill.
Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are."

I rescued a dog online from a Georgia rescue league. I don't think it's a wise way to go about it, taking a dog unseen, but I was lucky in spite of the fact that she has issues with grooming and a bit of an issue with special treats. However, she's just as ugly as I hoped she would be (I have a fondness of ugly dogs with hair) and she's sweet as pie and gets along with dogs, and now a cat...
It's so touching to read about the dogs you are trying to home...good luck and thanks for the work..
Thank you Melissa. It makes it easier when we have a great support team like all of you. We can not do it by ourselves, and we have been really lucky to have been surrounded by pet owners who always keep their arms open for us and help in any way they can.
