very sad times here

[terrilee]

well after going thru everything and trying to decide whats best for my "kids' and running all the numbers. i cant keep my place for the whole time im on 'vacation'.

The 'kids' will be going to the www.kopykatsanctuary.org/Home_Page.html
wednesday the 3rd, the day before i go.
Gonna cost me $6,000 but oh well, they are my children.
I trust Susan totally to take care of them.
i was just hoping there was a way to keep them in their own home, but alas cant be done.
At the very least, i know they will be well taken care of, have medical care, companionship etc etc.

i really dont know why im telling you people this.
Except some of you i do consider friends.
im sorta sorry Hank left, he cared.
and i just needed to rant and cry all at the same time

if you have ANY pull with who ever is upstairs, and care, please ask that my 'kids' are fine for 2 years till mom gets home.
thanks

Well Terri at least you know they will be taken care of. I honestly thought you were asking more than could be expected from one individual when you said your friend was going to take care of them for two years. I think this is a more reliable solution.

[terrilee]

Dougers,
your right , BUT i didnt ask him.
Even with his non healing wounds { diabetic on his ankles} he volunteered
i kept asking him, "John u can barely walk,( in the beginning, what over a year ago , now? ) some days, how are you gonna carry 20lb bags of new litter up the stairs and the used out to the garbage" and he always said' I'll get it done, dont you worry about it. and i will take care of your cats" { he never would call them the kids - lol} he has been nothing but a friend for 17 years, no lover, etc etc

And i just feel, even with limited companionship.
John has a cat , but its 80% outdoor , on its own type.
that staying in their own home for as long as possible,
would be best for them.
But i cant afford both.
Susan, the sanctuary founder, knows how much i love 'em
'member last spring, when we found 'Homeless', anyways
i will just be dreaming , that they are in a great place, having a great time,
and hope they 'member me. maybe after we all move back in together.

They sound like nice people who will spoil the kids as much as you do
Before you know it you will be back with the kids
Who knows your vacation may even be shortened after you start with all the budget issues the fed and states are having

[Rebel]

Yeah, perhaps they have one of those reduced vacation packages.

If John has nonhealing diabetic sores, I hope he is getting treated, and not eating sugar, starch... Or you may come back to a one legged friend. Diabetes is nothing to be trivial about.

Oh he is Doug
its just not healing well at all. Which added to my decision to put the 'kids' in the sanctuary.
what would happen if he went into the hospital for weeks and weeks? would his sister be as diligent taking care of "my kids"? what if, god forbid, he does loose a leg? where would my 'kids' be?
thats kinna selfish, thinking of me 1st, BUT they are my kids.
