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. Now that I’m as old … Continue reading

A real shame…
Last night after my husband went to bed, I saw something in Facebook about a 14 year old cat needing a home, urgently. The family was moving and was going to euthanize, but a nearby rescue society was trying to find a home for “Silly”, aka “Sil”. The rescue Facebook Page had been told Wednesday … Continue reading

A more productive day…
Now, I do know that’s relative. Yesterday turned out to be plenty productive in that I got caught up with some bookwork. 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
