135. THANK YOU! I have been so worried that things might fall through or that it might

be too late. Was TTW able to go with you and spend some time with Yoshi, too?

From what TTW has said in the past, Yoshi sounds like a one person dog, but maybe he will recognize you, your ex, and his dogwalker as his rescuers and feel affection for that.

Please do keep us informed about how we can donate to help with his care and upkeep. I have to be careful in the summer, since I have virtually no summer income and am paying down bills from two April surgeries, but I did donate to TTW's GFM page, and then tried to help more by spreading the word about Yoshi's danger. I will donate as much as I can to his care until I start getting paid again in mid-September, and then increase my donation amount and frequency once the paychecks start coming in again.

I noticed that the GFM site has an option for scheduling regular monthly gifts. I will do that for TTW and also for Yoshi starting in mid-September.

Again, I can't tell you enough how much I admire you and your ex for doing this. I am, I fear, a bit misanthropic myself because of all the harm our species does, but people like you keep me from thinking our entire species deserves extinction.

I am also truly glad that you have stepped up to vouch for TTW against those who accuse her of fraud and then go around to these threads trying to talk more generous people out of donating to help her survive. You, Omaha Steve, and Moosepoop have all repeatedly stood up for her, and I just want to say thanks for that. I don't know TTW at all, but she is one of ours. The naysayers don't have to help, but they really should not be so eager to prevent the rest of us from doing what we can.
