I recorded this episode on 12/31/2021. Betty White also passed today. This is more a tribute to her and what an amazing person she is. This episode she played Rose as herself in regards to the animals health and well being. Betty White was an amazing advocate for animals and humans in marginalized communities. She loved humans and animals the same. She was an excellent human being and role model. Earth has lost a wonderful person but heaven has gained an amazing angel. The Golden Girls are once again united. Rest in peace, Betty White Ludden. Thank you for all the joy and laughter and kindness you brought to the world.
