    When the crate arrived, Michelle knew her precious artwork survived the auction block. Mike had bought her story---how it tore at her soul to sell the pieces.

    bunny and etc. is such a wonderful feeling to endure. Some people however, have this disgusting urge in them as to hurt such innocent animals. I have watched many commercials related to such crimes, but there was one that mainly stuck out with me with Sarah McLachlan.
