i slept from 8 pm til 6 am and am so far headache free...hope it continues!
i did however not get thru the pile of laundry last night so that sucks. oh well, it is not like it is going anywhere, unfortunately.
squirt slept on my hip for several hours til i finally made my way to my actual bed, break thru day 2. he is so cute.
he is quickly learning from all of the others how to play musical chairs, i apparently am the chair.
i figured out last night that so far this year, we have spent more than $10,000 in vet bills...no wonder i get headaches. this would be when the advocates for "how many healthy animals could you have saved with that same amount of money" would be having a hay day. my answer would be..."i don't know cuz we don;t have any healthy animals to compare it to, we just have the old wrecked ones that no one else wanted" ....i hate that conversation, how can you possibly argue logic when logic doesn't live here?...jed lives here instead.
last day off, lot's to do. i am not thru my day off to-do list yet...fingers crossed i for once, get it all done.
wish me luck.
500 dogs is a lot of dogs, but this is not a numbers game.It's people like those you describe who make rescue necessary. After the $200 for the dog's Vet bills is spent, what next? There are no hard and fast rules in rescue, because nobody can place monetary value on the life of an animal. How much is Dexter's life worth? Or Spritely's? Or Ellie Mae's? If my Kirby were to get sick, I would sell everything I own to pay the bills to make him well. The difference, of course, is that SAINTS has a whole lot of animals to care for, and most of them have some serious medical issues. Some of them because a $100 limit for Vet costs for a cat almost guarantees a cat who gets very sick as it ages.
