First I would like to thank Mark for all you do to educate the people.  You are a TRUE American!  I have read your books – LOVED Sprite and am halfway Liberty.  Write MORE!
Only one thing wrong – you are not yet on TV!
Our beloved pet, Grace, is a very conservative kttty.  She was rescue from a crack house, five years ago.  We had lost our ninteen year old kitty, Ernie, in 2003.  Months later, when I saw Grace at the shelter, I knew that she needed a break.  She was skinny; had no undercoat; was scared to death and sat in the corner of her cage with her head down.  Her two kittens that were rescued with her had found homes, but here sat Grace looking like she was giving up.  I just knew I had to adopt her.  Several years later, she is a total transformation.  She s a beauty with a beautiful shiny, lush coat.  She has more confidence than one could imagine.  She is a DIVA and she KNOWS it!
We call her Amazing Grace.  We added the amazing, three years ago.  We had experienced a severe storm in Seattle and the power had been out for two days.  I had cabin fever and was going out for a walk.  As I tried to leave, Grace kept pushing her body in between me and the door and meowing passionately.  Then she would run back upstairs.  Finally, after about four tries, I followed her and she stopped in front of the refrigerator.  There was water running down the front panel of the door from the ice dispenser, onto the hardwood floor.  If I had gone out, we would have had to replace the floor.
Thanks Grace!!  or perhaps Lassie…………
We absolutely LOVE her.  We are building a new home and planned much of the house around her – window seats – cabinet for her litter box etc.  We got so lucky when we met Grace – the conservative cat!

We have a beautiful collie cross we rescued (shown in the picture with a kitten he helped nuture after we rescued her)
My animals are a blessing to me; honest where people sometimes aren\’t. There is no pretension in a dog.
I have spent my whole life working with horses and dogs; they have taught me a lot….far more than I expected.

My dad came on to Mark’s radio show the day after Madison, our beloved dog of 14 years, died, to chat about what a wonderful dog she was and the blessings of adopting a pet through a dog shelter. Our puppy, Gracie was adopted from the North Shore Animal League on May 3rd, 2009. She is a border collie/husky mix and even though she is twelve weeks old, she already has a vibrant personality. Gracie enjoys chasing our feet as we run through the house, and playing with her squeaky toys. We are looking forward to many years with another amazing dog.

My name is Annie. I was born on December 14, 2001. I was adopted from a shelter when I was just 7 months old. I live with two people and two cats. I am a Catahoula. What is a Catahoula you ask? We are know as the Leopard dog, with a pedigree stretching back to the Spanish explorers. The state of Louisiana is cited as the point of origin, particularly the area of Catahoula. Hence the name, Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog. In 1979, the breed was designated the state dog of Louisiana. Some of us have a thicker coat than others and some have more spots. We are known for our striking blue eyes (called \”Glass Eyes\”), but we may have other eye colors as well. I have \”Glass Eyes\” or I should say \”Glass Eye\”. I lost my left eye 3 years ago, due to Glaucoma. I have to get 3 different eye drops in my right eye every day. This helps keep the pressure down on my eye. Too much pressure gives me a headache. I get along great with just one eye. I got use to it real quick, Sometimes I turn to the left to close to things and bump my nose. I can\’t catch the frisbee as good as I once used to either. All in all, I have a good life and I love my family I live with.
