I got an email from the girl who adopted Thor & Scaredy today.
"Im ok.... doing ok.... just a lil upset about a decision I have to come to about my kitties.... Me and my boyfriend will be moving into my parents house to help them out... they have a built on room on the side of the house that we would pay them money to stay their...and be able to save alot... from the rent we are paying now... but my dad said he doesnt want the Cats...and I love them to death ...but I need to do what I must do for my fam.... but I dont wanna give them up to just anyone either... I rather know where they are so I could still see them... and know they are in good hands... would you be able to take em? or is that not something possible? This decision is like 95% a defiant....so I need to see what I can do... Let me know :oT
I love my babiez... but the only one I can see them with is u"
The bright side is that it's SO much easier to find a home for grown-up cats than baby ones.. Aggggh...
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
