Well, I just made my loan for May. 

This time I chose a man in Azerbaijan.

I didn't already have any loans in Azerbaijan (even though it is trendy  Cheesy) so that wasn't the reason I chose this fellow. 

This time the choice was clear .... here is a fellow who wants some money so he can buy ten sheep:

I like sheep. 

and with sheep, one needs a border collie.

I love border collies.

I used to own a border collie named Jewel.

She didn't herd sheep.  She was deaf ... and eventually, blind too ... but she would have liked a nice little group of ten sheep  Smiley

so, in memory of Jewel .... I helped this guy get his sheep.

Maybe with his next loan, he'll want a puppy  Smiley

um, patti......  I hate to break this to you, but, um..... the dog in your pic is decidedly NOT a border collie.  You should ask for your money back and loan it instead to someone who hunts birds.   Grin

Kivafriends.org scrambled and respelled is "Risk And Forgive."  Of course, it also can be respelled "Asked For Virgin" and "Darer of Vikings" and even "Vinegar For Kids" but those are a lot less interesting.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.  Smack a man upside the head with a fish and you have his complete attention.

Oh, and on a (semi) serious note, I forwarded my last post on to an email list devoted to border collie lovers ...... some of them have already made loans !!!
