Nov 2012

knowing that it is a "safe house" with nothing to fear. Guess whose house that has been over a period of several years. I fed, trapped and found homes for several feral kitties over the years and kept four for myself. Mine have gone over the Rainbow Bridge now, but they were beautiful pets.. They knew where they would be loved.

Is there any way you could take their dog to the hospital so Mom could see him for a few minutes? Could you take her in a wheelchair outside so she could see him in a car window or maybe pet him? Sometime this really helps in the recovery process. sending healing vibes her way.
