It IS discouraging at times....(the political end of it).

However.....I canNOT give up FR...

[dutchess]

What a beautiful pup fan fan! Collie or sheltie? Here's Codee, our sheltie who we lost 5 years ago at age 15. She kind of co-hosted the pet threads at the Finest on FR. The smartest and sweetest little girl I had (can you tell I'm a dog lover)

[fanfan]

On the one hand, people often say...”In my day.... blah, blah, blah.”

But it’s different now.

Now, is a time where everything is going to hell, and if we don’t stop it, no one will.

Gee, I feel exactly the same fear and frustration that you feel, but we can’t give up.
If we do, then it just becomes a matter of time,

before,

they “come for us”.
