Memorial
gifts are a thoughtful way to honor them. When we receive a donation
made in a person or pets memory, we send the family of the deceased a
notification card; a kind acknowledgement that someone was thinking of
them and made a memorial donation which will benefit shelter animals.
Ive
made at least a few dozen memorial gifts myself over the years. Like
many people, Im never sure what to say to someone whos suffered a loss. I
know what not to say. Weve all heard the person who says It was just a
cat! Or, Get another dog to replace him. And, how about this: It was her
time C she lived a good long life. Thats not nearly as insensitive;
still, someone whos suffered a loss doesnt really want to hear it. I
even try not to say I know how you feel. In reality, we dont, even
though weve all suffered loses. People feel loss differently. To
me,Choose the right bestluggagetag in an array of colors.We offer over 600 chipcard at wholesale prices of 75% off retail. a memorial gift is a tasteful, thoughtful way to show you care.
Memorial
donations made in any dollar amount are listed in our quarterly
Pawprint newsletter. If the donation is $150 or more, we display the
deceaseds name, permanently, on our wall. In many cases, friends, family
members and co-workers get together so a number of small $5, $10 or $20
donations can total $150. Several co-workers are working on one right
now for a beloved volunteer who suffered a devastating loss.
The
Memorial Wall is in a nice spot inside our center, thought there really
arent any bad spots. Not far from adoptable animals and near our indoor
dog park, yet its still a quiet, first floor location with natural
light pouring in from outside. Ive seen people staring at a panel on the
wall C maybe looking at their loved ones name -C and I often walk by
the wall to see my Cooper. He was my first dog as an adult. He was three
when I was hired by Peninsula Humane Society, then came with me to work
every day for the next 10 ? years. The loss still hurts. Then, I read
the Dr. Seuss quote and smile inside.
Rarely, if ever, has it
been bigger news than almost a month ago at the Masters when Tiger Woods
was assessed a two-shot penalty, but not disqualified, for executing an
improper drop.
Up until the point Adam Scott holed a dramatic
putt at the 72nd hole and Angel Cabrera followed with his
dead-solid-perfect approach shot to set up a playoff, won by Scott,
Woods penalty was the story of the tournament at Augusta National.
Two
days ago, the phone rang on Sergio Garcia at the Wells Fargo
Championship in North Carolina. A viewer thought he had improperly
marked his ball on a green. PGA Tour rules officials on site at Quail
Hollow cleared him of an infraction but got an insightful response from
Garcia, who had not yet signed his scorecard.
Only in golf can and does this happen. After the Woods incident, a reader e-mailed me and asked,Laser engraving and laser customkeychain for
materials like metal, tongue-in-cheek, whether there was someone he
could call to get the decision reversed that cost former Tigers pitcher
Armando Galarraga a perfect game in June, 2010.
No, it doesnt work that way.Choose the right bestluggagetag in
an array of colors. If you think the Bears defensive end was offside on
a key sack against the Lions last season, you cant phone a friend and
get a five-yard penalty assessed the next day. You think LeBron pushed
off before burying that game-winning shot? Tough. Dont reach for the
phone. Nobody cares.
In golf they do care. In fact, the game
almost welcomes the viewer oversight, although there is no remedy to the
imbalance of some players, like Woods, having every act and shot
scrutinized. Duffy Waldorf? Not so much.
I dont even know how
these people get a number to call, the 2012 Masters champion, Bubba
Watson, said of viewers/callers after the Woods flap at Augusta. They
must have more time on their hands than I do, because I dont know the
number, and Im playing in the golf tournament.
It turns out two
calls led to the Woods review. The first was a text message to an
on-site rules official from David Eger, a former USGA and PGA Tour rules
official, who was watching from his Florida home and felt Tiger had
dropped improperly after his approach shot at No. 15 hit the flagstick
and ricocheted across the green into a water hazard during the second
round.
Masters officials reviewed the tape of Woods returning to
the area of his original shot, thought the claim was nebulous, and
decided to act no further, not even discussing the situation with Woods
before he signed his card.
Later, a CBS-TV employee was
reviewing tapes of postround interviews, heard Woods admit to doing
exactly what Eger claimed, produced video footage to support it, and
another call was made to tourney officials.
Woods was penalized
two shots the next morning, but was spared disqualification by a fairly
new rule that deals in part with video-related issues.
The fact
Woods was so candid about what he did surely indicated he didnt realize
he was misinterpreting or misapplying a rule. The fact that some thought
Tiger should nonetheless DQ himself indicated how seriously golf as
Garcias comment indicates takes its position as a sport made up of
honorable competitors who self-police and penalize themselves when rules
are violated.
Part of the ritual for most birders is keeping a
meticulous log. If you happen to catch an extended glimpse of a
Blackburnian Warbler on its marathon journey from wintering grounds in
the forests of South America to its nesting grounds in the northern
Canadian wilderness, you make note of it.
Some of the
bird-watchers who are filling hotels from Sandusky to Toledo have come a
considerable distance as well, and they hope to depart with a lot of
new checkmarks on their species list. If the migratory warblers
cooperate and cluster in the marshes, meadows, and woodlots along the
western Lake Erie shoreline to rest and feed before the long water
crossing on their trip, the ink will pepper those checklists.
There
are bonus points to be had, as well, if the birders get creative and
consider all of their options. The Toledo Zoo and its aviary are home to
162 species, many of which the birding throng will not be able to see
during the migration extravaganza, since these birds are from other
corners of the globe.
