** A Dog's Will To Another Dog ** Before humans die, they write their last Will and Testament, give their home & all they have, to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask.... To a poor and lonely stray I'd give: - My happy home, - My bowl & cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys, - The lap, which I loved so much, - The hand that stroked my fur & the sweet voice which spoke my name. I'd Will to the sad, scared shelter dog, the place I had in my human's loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds. So when I die, please do not say, "I will never have another pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand." Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope and give MY place to HIM. This is the only thing I can give.... The love I left behind. -Author Unknown

On July 23rd, 2010, Aussie Rescuers here in Southern California lost one of their own, a very dear, fellow rescuer, Jacinta Stockton, passed away. I first got to know her years ago after she adopted their first Aussie, Charlie, out of a local shelter. Jacinta contacted me wanting to help our rescue efforts, little did she know what she was getting into! Their very first foster dog, Angie, never left ;} Over the years she has helped save many many Aussies and kept me going many many times when I just wanted to give up doing rescue - her sense of humor and ability to 'cut through the crap' made me laugh and say, 'ok, I'm not quitting today'. Jacinta did everything with a passion, from doing the rescue, to nursing, to diving with her husband, to adoring her granddaughter - she was an awesome person and I only hope I was as good a friend to her as she was to me. One of the passions we shared was for the senior Aussies needing help - whether they were abandoned, lost, sick, just needed a caring, loving place to be for whatever time they had left, those were the ones that got to us both and made us sqeeezzzeee one more into our own homes. Because of this, we are starting up a fund in her honor, specifically to help senior Aussies in need....still working out the details/parameters, but Jacinta's Fund is beginning. If you are interested in it, feel free to contact me: aussierescuesocal@earthlink.net In loving memory of our friend, Jacinta - - we are missing you tremendously, but I know there are some Aussies keeping you company that are very happy to see you again - -karyl
