So by now you have figured out that beneath my grumpy exterior, I am a big softy, even more when it comes to good causes like Dog4Deeds. So in just 18 days they have raised the money needed to pay for the training of JD's service dog, I have watched the totals climb and climb in hope that it would be a done deal by Christmas and with 3 days to go it is done as they hit their total earlier today.

With the news always telling us what is wrong in the world it is things like this that make me know that there are still a lot of great people with incredible hearts out there.
