 Mark always had this briefcase with him! It held all his important information involving dogs , transport and vetting ! He always brought it on every adoptions and was always in his car! When I went to marks to help with the dogs he told me “ get my case out of the car , it has everything for the dogs, I’ll get it back next time I see you “ so I got it, I opened it up and got the vet information and paperwork work for the dogs that were on site and closed it and.. I took it home when all the dogs where moved…. After Mark passed, it took me awhile to actually open it again, I felt like I was finally admitting that I wasn’t going to give it back to him. But after speaking with you guys I thought about it and realized the briefcase must go on!! So after going through it I found a lot of things for Semper Fi and thank you notes from people that he had adopted dogs to, some paw prints on papers and amazing and kind words from so many people. I am leaving the kind notes and the paw prints from dogs he has lost along the way in the case, but I’m going to start using it for my adoption and transports and all my rescue paperwork so it will be like (to me) Mark is with me for all of it!!

I'm guessing Sasha was in there. Although maybe not, cuz I claimed her before she actually got to Mark. I met him with her, but he saw that I was kind of messed up and asked what was going on, and I told him I wanted her and he busted his protocol and let her come home with me. She is my best friend. I am sorry I never saw that briefcase in person, and thank you for sharing it with us. |

The only problem with Jokers forum is that it's always dusty in here.

Especially since it's a brand-spanking new place.
At funerals, I've heard people say " May his memory be a blessing." Well, now I know what that means. Memory of him and his passion for homeless, rejected dogs will live on here. So, don't nobody get out the vacuum and change this place! |

It moves so fast, we need all the help we can get so folks see it.  Especially the link to the new donation page: SFDR Go Fund Me in GD Thanks, Kitties |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cordwood: I will try to remember this. Mark always wanted adopters to post photos of their adopted dogs when he started a new adoption thread. I will try to keep up. No pressure. If we can get a platoon of "bumpers" looking for and bumping the threads in GD, we'll gain momentum.
