Kewl! Btw, everyone should submit stories both there and on BRAT page. :)

I redid Nayru's story so I had the BRAT name in there correctly. I'm hoping her story is one of the few that will be picked for voting! http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ars/story/heaven-through-her-ears142

[DebraDownSouth]

YEAH! Please post if she is!

Anyone else having issues with voting using IE. I keep getting a timed out notice. I have done everything. It's okay, can use Firefox but very strange.

There were a number of people having trouble over this past weekend.

I could not get on Petfinder on Friday afternoon and I gave up.

I could get on the site but it was difficult to get my vote accepted but seemed alright today. Perhaps it was just a glitch.

Happy to say we got at least the state one! It all helps!
