One time though, my daughter called me hysterical from her friend's house where a cat had been hit by a car and was still in the road suffering. She knocked on neighbor's doors and no one claimed him. So, I drove a half hour to her, wrapped the poor thing in a sweater, and proceeded to drive my daughter, her friend, and the cat another hour to the local humane society, where they charged me a $30 surrender fee. He had an abdominal wound. I'm not sure if they had to put him to sleep or not, and I don't want to know either. Either way it's heartbreaking. I do know that he didn't die alone suffering in the middle of the road with two 13 year olds standing over him crying. And that's all I need to know. Guess I have my own drummer too.Stephaniehttp://onesleepymom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209129785647063879.post-92069445723421924282013-02-04T20:03:22.798-05:002013-02-04T20:03:22.798-05:00I do everything I can to avoid small talk with ran...I do everything I can to avoid small talk with random people who do things in my house.

But my hat is off to you...fewer deserving beings than an animal in need of only a home, and often they know where to go. My daughter's cat "Daisy" showed up on her doorstep in the days after a painful break-up and they cherish each other. susan bonifanthttp://atticview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209129785647063879.post-37509038992375038922013-02-04T07:48:39.544-05:002013-02-04T07:48:39.544-05:00We adopt our cats from our local shelter (but adop...We adopt our cats from our local shelter (but adopted one cat someone left outside -he was beautiful and we were crazy about him). I think everyone who wants a pet should go to their no-kill shelter and adopt. That said, we get our pet sitters through the shelter, so we know they are always loving, caring and compassionate people. I am so glad you found someone for Gus. We all love our pets, and they deserve to have owners like you that take such great care of them!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530651626467011526noreply@blogger.com
