When I see posts like these, I gain extra evidence that the world has many kind people. Sometimes I begin to doubt that.

Perhaps he did not intend to, or did not know the difference between the two crafts! At any rate, the pictures shown were of people tending to the koalas, their little paws were in buckets; probably right before the vet dresses the wounds. Of course, later on when I saw the post here, I signed right up for the cause; and now that I have followed the pattern link the whole thing became clearer. At any rate, I shall follow through with a donation; since I am half the world away.hopflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14808010877609649152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-69128917007449048242015-01-10T00:53:12.641+10:002015-01-10T00:53:12.641+10:00Thank you.

I knew you wold! I cannot knit, sadly; but I can donate a bit to the cause---a VERY worthy one at that! Thanks for addressing this in your blog.hopflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14808010877609649152noreply@blogger.com
