Well I guess That answers my query of what ya'all have been up to today..hum?
...where do I start..and where are my words...?

First: Erin your poem was so beautiful ...I am so touched...not only do you have a wonderful way with words..but your heart felt message really brought me to tears...what a special gift...I will cherish it...thank you

Betty and Shelly I hear you about the pawn shops..I've been through it in the past and you are correct in all you say...

To those who I know must be upset about this..I want to thank you for not turning it into yet another Cody controversary...The last thing I would want is the poor dear Webbie having to deal with that all over again...bless his heart.
One of the reasons I had said no to donations when offered and spent alot of time personally emailing my gratitude for and refusal of the offers, ...was because I didn't know how to explain "The why" Cody was once again receiving so much heart and financial help.
It is not that Cody is more deserving or important then any other rescue or needy bullie on this board or anywhere else for that matter.
It is that ,so many here have been "personally" involved in Cody's Journey from day one...He does indeed belong to this board and is owned by so many hearts and truly does belong to everyone....I am his legal guardian..and as such am more than willing to take on sole responsibility for all his needs no matter what that would mean...but I see that is not how it will be...but I do thank you for allowing peace to prevail and hopefully for understanding "The Why".

As for the rest of you ,am I mad?
I would like to say. that I told Gary about my ring and a few other things in complete confidence so he would understand and stop tormenting me about posting my paypal...geesh..."don't trust no southern lawyer"chuckle...and Gary part of me wants to throttle you..and part of me understands your big 'ole heart..and still loves ya...I'll flip a coin later...and let ya know...grin
As for the rest of you ...
what can I say? mad at hearts so big?impossible!
wanting to help "your bullie"? (as I have been reminded of in many messages today?)
I have stated time and time again with honor and truth ..he is indeed all of yours...I will not go back on that.
I don't know what has overwhelmed me more since I checked my emails and the board..all your generous donations..or the gentle(and not so gentle..lol)
words,humor..and kindness in your messages...I love ya'all/and Cody is blessed to a part of your families and hearts..and a Mascot of Bulldogs world....I am truly humbled by your caring,your prayers,your never ending support..thank you can be such a small statement..but it comes from my heart to yours...ce
