Ah ha! This is the blog-o-meter I want so badly. If WordPress doesn’t send it to me, I’m going to make my own and the arrow will point to Red Hot! LOL Congrats on all the great (free!) publicity you’ve provided for Wayside Waifs. You’ve done a wonderful job of increasing awareness of their tireless work.
