January 11, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

We are NOT the ASPCA!!! This is an exposé (and appeal) that Beth & I really did not want to have to write,  but one of our faithful & reliable donors of $8.00 per month persuaded us that we had to –– because donors like her,  for the most part,  are paying not only for […]
