Good news for me! (and the Princess Rita)

Just in case anyone cares.... After working for the better part of 38 years, 22 of them as a government contractor for one agency or another, I have FINALLY been hired by the government itself!! I Am A Fed! woohoo! It's a little pay cut, but a big boost in job security. I have lost my job twice because of contracts ending, and I lost a job once because a long-term government jerk took a dislike to me (and many others), but now *I* am the government person! Oh, I can still be fired, but it'll be harder now. I'm thinking, 'Now I can think about buying a house! What does Rita want in a house?' Jane - owned and operated by the Princess Rita Congrats Jane! I hope it is all that you desire! |

Rita wants a little backyard with a fence that will keep her > in the backyard. and you know this how? Has Rita told you this? Yes, I would definitely look for a little backyard, but I'd get her one of those enclosures, rather than just a fence. She's never shown any interest in going outdoors, but I think she might like it if she can feel safe out there. She likes to *look* and *smell* out the door when the balconey door is open, but has never tried to go out there yet. She did come out exploring once when I was out there, but she slipped right back inside the minute I stood up. As a former stray, I suspect that she associates the Big Out with fear and hunger. Jane - owned and operated by the Princess Rita That is so true. Marlo came in from the outside during one 8F February day (I couldn't stand the thought that she was out in that weather) and she never wants to go out the front door again. It took months before she was even willing to go into the backyard, and then she hovered by the door until she was sure that it wouldn't be closing! She's a bit bolder about it now though. The enclosure is a great idea. Not to practical for my little backyard, but for a bigger yard I think it is excellent. Someone on the group had one built I think. |
