I can’t stand the ads either. I understand they are used to educate the public, but they break my heart.
All four of my pets are rescues. When something hard happens in my life I always want to go get another pet. You can tick off the deaths in my family by the pet additions. Heart healers!
I take care of a friend at night and on the weekends. She was my dancing partner for 20 years. That is until she broke here hip.
4 operations, in one year, to replace the hip and two bouts of Vicomyacin resistant MRSA would have killed most people.
The amazing thing with her is here spirit and will.
She is now 99 years old and 5 months. She had a cat that was a constant companion and gave her a purpose.
She would play with it, brush it, pet it put little glasses of water around the house “So she won’t go thirsty”.
Poor thing died of cancer. You should have seen her crying. Doesn’t cry that hard for humans. She was really sad.
Another friend found a cat that looked identical to her and it was a rescue.
We picked her up and brought her home and now my friend again, has something to take care of.
I can tell you the entire story and where we are to this point but, I am not a professional writer. LOL
Suffice it to say, I don’t believe she would be with us if the cat wasn’t here for her to take care of.
