Both of you reminded me of my sister Sarah.

My sister’s heart is so big that it can encompass not only her husband, children, and in-laws, but our mother, brother, large extended family, me and my husband and kids, and lots of furry friends. Like Gayla, she has three dogs. Sarah makes quite a sight at walk time when she has to hold three leashes while pushing her youngest in a stroller and keeping both eyes on her pre-schooler.

Once, my sister and her husband took in a fourth dog temporarily to find him a home. When they dropped him off at his new luxurious home with a television producer’s family, my sister cried because she couldn’t provide for him herself. She was heavily pregnant at the time, but her sense of responsibility toward all creatures is highly-developed.

Both Gayla and Linette’s posts made for inspiring gift ideas for my sister, but I could not decide which charity to support. So, I took a paws for thought and asked myself, “What would Sarah do?”

Quite obviously, my sister would not support one charity any more than she would adopt just one dog. So, I sent $10 to each.
