Here's their story:
Dear Becky
Words alone cannot express the fullness in my heart right now.
>Months of preperation and anxiety, many long distance calls, much
support and it is finally over.
We had two board member forum. I was SO nervous. I did like you said
Becky. Dresses niced, prepared the material, a squeaky nervous delivery
and a lot of tact and class. It took all I could muster. But we did
it!
The vet had a family emergency couldn come. Cathy decided that Pedro may
be in jeporday so she bagged. Bob couldnt come. All my team mates were
gone. I was frightened. Terri Wheeland came and she sat with me and spoke
on my behalf. $ backdoor neighbors were concerned about their gardens.
That was their only defense. I had an answer to every question. Im so
proud. Im so exhausted and elated.
I hit them with the allergy report first. I figured what ever they>heard
first would be prominent in their minds. It worked. I killed the ugly
neighbors with kindness when verbally attacked about them getting >under
the fence The board cautioned me to continue to be a responsible pet
owner.
Im so glad it is over. I get my fee back. I will get a letter
within 45 days saying the board approved. 30 days after reciept of that
letter, anyone has the right to appeal it to court. After that 30 days
Im home free. The cantankerous neighbor behind me was concerned about
the poop smell. I laughed at myself all day thinking lady does yours
smell pretty? Stupid thoughts kept me going. Thank you both so very, very
much for all of your help and support.
Thank you to the network chain for pitching in.
I so enjoyed meeting Terri. I have met some of the nicest people and
making new friends has been a joy. She invited me to a convention in
March. I dont have to work so Im going to think about it. I have
learned so much about piggys and love the learning process.
7:15 am is to early to call and tell you the news. I knew you would be
anxious to hear.
Do keep in touch and maybe I will get to see you and meet some of the
other folks in March.
To both of you, my haertfelt thanks. beth
