In reading the latest OGR magazine the subject of Editor's Corner by Allen Miller caught my eye. For some reason, maybe being old, I also tend to shy away from social media like Facebook. I seem challenged enough with getting things done on this forum and locating things on the web. So this article by Allen has inspired me to make an attempt to use Facebook as my Granddaughters keep after me to post pictures of my trains there for them. I figure if Allen could do it I might be able to also.
Allen mentions in his article that he is a volunteer at a local animal Shelter and uses Facebook in an attempt to find forever homes for dogs and cats located at the shelter. I would like to commend Allen for his work at his animal shelter. I also do volunteer work at my local humane society shelter, mostly walking dogs, cleaning their enclosures and donating food for the animals there. I didn't realize how many animals, both cats and dogs were being euthanized because no home could be found for them.
I know there is a connection here on the forum with our pets, many times viewing threads and photo's with a members dogs or cats and knowing that they are a real part of their family, their 4 legged children. Maybe we can do more in 2015 to help animals, like Allen, doing volunteer work at forum members local animal shelters. So many volunteer's are needed and it is a worthwhile cause indeed.
