Topic: RE: They are not just animals.....
You guys are wonderful right on track with how I feel and felt about this whole animal thing.
I agree with every single one of you and what you have said. And the story of promising the cat not to get a new husband was the BEST!
And connie your right! he did get all odd when I was in the middle of the bad part of LBS!!! I forgot about that!
My ex husband was not an animal person. that was not fun. I told the guy about that too and said thats why he's an ex. Of course thats not the only reason why he's an ex but I don't have enough giga gaga or mega bites on this computer to relive that nightmare!
I will never give them up unless unforseen things happen. And I've made plans for most of those. I know that the birds especailly Paulie the wonder bird will out live me. So he has his reserve home and I've made my kids promise if the reserve home is not available to find him a good safe place to live if they do not want to care for him.My kids are animal lovers maybe not as crazy like me about it but they will do the right thing for these creatures if they have to. The guy I do not trust to handle it the way I'd want it done.
each of us are animal lovers.
Thank you very much all of you from the bottom of my heart.

I was wondering about you a few days ago. There's nothing I can say or do to make things better for you except we're always around... if when we're not active, we keep checking in - like family. Be well, Marilyn
Topic: RE: They are not just animals.....
I respect animals more than humans. We are for the most part a pretty stupid lot; if we would look to the animal kingdom to find the answers to our problems, the world would be a better, more beautiful place. Keep your menagerie family, they need you as much as you need them. Hugs, Maureen

JUDY!!! THAT IS SOOOOOOO FUNNY, I LAUGHED OUTLOUD!!! So good to see you, dear one. Where have you been and what's going on in your world? Love, Maureen
Topic: RE: They are not just animals.....
Pammy, I agree with Kim, if he loves you he will take the animals as well. As you remember I lost my dogs due to an idiot jerk. So I can so relate to what you are saying. Say good-bye if he
does not want all of your animals to stay.
BTW- the idiot is trying very hard to get back into my life & I just can't do that after losing my Dogs
& him trying to kill me. He really thinks I will forget all of that. Not in this lifetime.
Stick to what you know is right!!

Thanks Connie for the positive words. I really need them right now.. Like I just told Judy, I know
I am not alone in this, there are many looking for work just like I am. Hoping to get back on at
Walmart now that their freeze is off.
About that meltdown, I think alot of this depression of late on me is my new Doc up'd my Zoloft
to twice aday to 100 mg & I think it made the depression worse. so I have backed off to the 1 50mg I was taking before. It seems to be better for Me than the higher dose.
Take care & thanks again.

Thanks Judy. I will be 56 in December & I know I am not the only one out of work. My neighbor
has been looking just as long as I have. With new grads out there it makes it even harder being
in the older generation. NOw that the Walmart freeze is off, I am really trying to get back on with
them. We will see!! Keep those prayers headed this way. I accept them all.

Topic: RE: They are not just animals.....
Oh wow! This is a really touchy subject for me. Love me, love my animals.
When I started struggling financially when my employer started cutting our paid work days, The Man started to suggest that maybe I had more animals than I could afford right then. Well maybe that's what I thought he was going to say because he never got a chance to finish what he was going to say. The look on my face made him take a step back and and I think I might have turned his hair white. I'm surprised he didn't burst into flames and turn into a little pile of ashes and a puff of smoke. I don't know what was originally going to come out of his mouth, but what did come out was an an offer to pay for food and vets and anything else I needed. Later I asked him if he was going to suggest that I give up any of my animals and he told me that there was no way he would ever ask me to give up anything that important to me. He said he knew what he was getting into from the beginning. The Man is OK with critters, but he's not the nut I am. Because they mean so much to me, he went the extra mile to be friends and win them over. Now the darned dog is more excited to see him than me! I love that man.
The way I see it is these animals were around first. I made a commitment to them they day I brought them in the house and they trust me and love me unconditionally. I understand that there are times when you just can't keep an animal if you really can't afford to feed the pet and yourself or someone is allergic or it becomes a danger. There are several legitimate reasons for finding another home for a beloved pet, but because "they are not needed?" Come on! Lets face it, a man is not "needed!" By the way, I'm trying to type around my cat's tail. lol The brat.
So what happens if you get rid of the "extras?" What are you going to be asked to do next? Stop visiting your mother? Kids can't come visit? And let's say that you get rid of the "extras", what gaurantee is there that this guy hangs around? Then you're left with empty space and a whole lot of resentment. Didn't he step out of the picture for a while because of your LBS issues and not being able to dance?
I don't know Pam, but if he really loves you, how can he ask you to give up something that means so much to you? He has to know how miserable you would be without your furred and feathered friends. Why would he want you to be heart broken like that? Would you ask him to give up something that you knew was very important to him? I don't think so.
Maybe I've said too much, but as far as I'm concerned, this is crossing a line that can't be uncrossed. I apologize if I've said anything I shouldn't, but I care for you and feel pretty strongly about this.

Thanks, Marilyn. I'm so glad to see you. I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering where you were. Life gets very hard from time to time and all we can do is hang on until we see better times.
I think I had a little melt down myself yesterday. I had gotten an epidural in my neck on Thursday and hit the pain wall on Friday. Of all things to put me over the edge... foot cramps. Go figure. After I got over my foot cramping, dumping, pain in the neck melt down, I got up and gave he dog a bath at midnight. Wonder why I'm tired.
Hang in there Marilyn. Things are bound to improve. Have you thought about volunteering somewhere like a hospital? Sometimes getting out and volunteering leads to networking, meeting new people and maybe a job offer. You might also want to try the Humane Society.
Hugs,
Connie
