How is this for a 10 year challenge?

How is this for a 10 year challenge?  I created this group from scratch exactly 10 years ago today.  It has grown to over 12,500 members and helped at least a few pets get home over the years; I know this because I personally got involved at times.  Other times the communities and neighborhoods stepped up and made all of the difference.

For anyone who is unaware - running a group can be a JOB.  Unpaid.  Often thankless.  People get angry when they can't just post whatever they want.  They will get nasty and message you slinging insults.  I've been called both a Democrat and a Trump supporter by different people trying to get a rise out of me.  😂😂😂 It's times like those I have to take a deep breath, put on my "professional / diplomatic" voice, and if that fails, say "Screw it" and block them because I'm not sitting here unpaid AND taking their abuse.

NONE of that even encompasses Facebook and its need to constantly change the way things are done.  I feel like I'm always learning and re-learning how to best keep the group going.  It also doesn't take into consideration that there is no easy way for me to take a break from this site even if I need to; I have a responsibility here.  It's honestly a labor of love and sometimes one that takes more than its fair share out of me.  I've been considering for the last few months giving the group over to a shelter or rescue or someone I could trust, but it hasn't happened yet.  We'll see.

Anyway, it's the 10-year birthday of Happy Tails Lost & Found Pets of Calhoun County.  🥳
