Just after politely declining any funds from “Cupcake Day for Animals”, I’m asked to participate in a very small-scale rescue. In the first incarnation of this story, I was asked to take in a chihuahua and two to three cats, in the capacity of “fostering”, without any remuneration at all.

Last night after my husband went to bed, I saw something in Facebook about a 14 year old cat needing a home, urgently.

After about 12 hours almost non-stop at the computer spreadsheets, I not only gained some ground, but felt better about my “inertia and sloth”. It was a good day, after all. Today was … Continue reading
