Got the last stray!!
Request purrs for my second-to-last stray that I finnaly caught about a week ago and the shelter took him in. When free he acted mean but once I got him he was gentle as could be. He is a good looking adult white male. Shelter said he should find home easily. There is one last stray that lives and pretty much stays in a friends back yard and can get in his garage and under his house for shelter. The guy said he does not mind it staying there but will not feed him but does let me keep a supply of dry food under his porch for it. It has been there and I have been feeding it for at least 2 years but it has never warmed up to me although it comes when it sees me. It knows I feed it but will not get close enough where I can even touch it. It is truly feral but as long as it has shelter and I can feed it I guess it will be ok. The only thing is this guy lives next to what commonly would be called "The projects" in most places and every time I turn around someone is moving and leaving pets behind so it is just a matter of time until another stray finds the food left out for the last stray in the guys yard. I wish people would wise up and instead of dumping their pets at least take them to a shelter where they would at least have a chance to find a home. After being a house pet and being fed everyday then to be dumped where ever to me is one of the cruelist (SP) things that you could do to a pet. At times I feel like ignoring them and letting them fend for themselves but then I end up getting hooked again and it starts all over again. How can anyone ignore an animal that is homeless and hungry?!?! I can not!! Especially where colder weather will be here before too much longer. Sorry for the rambling but I just felt like getting it off my chest and where I live alone there is no one here to complain to. Thanks all for listening. God bless you all for the good care you give our 4 legged friends. |

Friend, if people treat each other in such a horrible manor, old,
handicapped, poor , homeless, you are asking too much of them to take pity on an animal. You have a good heart and I am sure we all share yhou wanting the best for your furry friends lets face it. The creator of all things wrote "sucker for the needy" across some of our foreheads. We do what we can. Gramby haveing been there, done that. "kraut" wrote in message ...

We do what we can. Gramby haveing been there, done that. Right! Be proud of yourself. "Sucker for the needy" is another way of describing compassion. It is perfectly natural and even necessary if we are to have an organized civilization. When there is no compassion all there is is chaos and we have a world without love. There is not much worth living for if you don't have that compassion. The problem is with those who can't find it in their hearts to care about another's suffering. They are the psychopaths and there's more of them around than most of us know. They tend to do far too well in big industry and government. Cats try to teach us this and those of us who are smart enough, care for them and learn, like those of us, sekretaryies, here on r.p.c.c -- Regards, Fred |

I am sorry about that, I had jsut red the one from Kraut and then one from
you and had a brain burp. I am (ahem) 63 and went ice skateing two years ago. Will go again this year if I can convince my kids I am not a tawdery old lady. I don't get fancy but I can keep from killing myself. I am about to get a tamdon bike so I can go rideing with them and that is fine with all of them. "Fred Williams" wrote in message ...

That's terrific. There was a figure skating seminar in July given by
Shae-Lynn Bourne, of Bourne & Krantz, (2003 world champions in ice dance), and so I took it. I was having trouble getting one of the exercises so she came over and held my hands to steady me. So I'm saying I've danced with Shae-Lynn Bourne! (;-)) I also bicycle, but I've only been two times this summer.
