<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> Staff:<br />
We wanted to thank you for our<br />
delightful, precious Emma! She has<br />
brought so much joy <strong>and</strong> so many smiles<br />
to our home. She loves the neighborhood<br />
kids (<strong>and</strong> adults) <strong>and</strong> their pets. She has<br />
been more wonderful than we could have<br />
hoped – we are just one big happy PACK!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
C<strong>ol</strong>leen & Joe Kraska<br />
Dear <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>,<br />
I wanted to write <strong>and</strong> give you an<br />
update on our cat Monkey. Our boy has<br />
grown up to be the lovable terror of the<br />
househ<strong>ol</strong>d! I managed to catch him being<br />
still the other day <strong>and</strong> took this photo<br />
so you can see him again. Monkey is<br />
very smart <strong>and</strong> is a fan of playing fetch,<br />
whether it is with one of my hair ties or<br />
one of his toy mice. Just wanted to let you<br />
know how the sweet boy was doing!<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>,<br />
We just wanted to say hello <strong>and</strong><br />
thank you for taking care of Taffy. We<br />
love her dearly <strong>and</strong> are spoiling her<br />
rotten! Taffy loves her new home <strong>and</strong><br />
gets all the petting <strong>and</strong> love she could<br />
ever want. She slept like a baby the<br />
first few nights after her adoption (she<br />
must have needed to catch up on her<br />
beauty sleep). Thank you for letting<br />
us know how much she enjoys KONGs<br />
– they’re her favorite! Thanks again<br />
<strong>and</strong> please say hello to all of Taffy’s<br />
<strong>ol</strong>d pals.<br />
