Update, Cinder & Rosie's visitors good news
Thank you to all who offered good wishes for the puppies we rescued this
weekend, especially to Katnipped, who went the extra step to see if she could convince DH to take one or both of them in. I'm sorry that I have not answered all the posts. I've been busy with the babies and also paying attention to Rosie and Cinder. Tonight a rescue group returned my call and said they would take the puppies. The Website for the group is http://www.ccare.homestead.com/Index.html. They will take the pups to the Petsmart adoption center, where they should be easy to place in a home. I know beggars shouldn't be choosers, but I pretty much grilled the woman who called about how they screened potential adopters and what kind of facility they had to house the animals, etc. I liked what she answered. Tomorrow, I will take the pups to the vet for their first shots before C.C.A.R.E. picks them up. I want them to have the most immunity as possible for any exposure to disease. They look really good and are full of energy, now that the worms are gone and they have had good meals. Poor Jim has grown quite attached to them. His eyes watered up a little when I told him that I had some place that would take them. I think Cinder will be quite relieved. She probably thinks we have lost our minds. However, I think Rosie will miss them. She finds them entertaining. I will miss them, too, but I think it's in their best interest. I feel good about getting them off to a good start. Annie |

Regards and Many Purrs, O J You are kind to say so. I hope whatever angel is watching over them will continue to keep watch and make sure they go to wonderful forever homes. As for me, I'm just not made to do rescue. The emotional investment is so high. I really admire those people who care for feral cat colonies and people who foster on a regular basis. I tend to do it when circumstances push me into it. My usual contribution is in the form of donations to those who do the really hard work. That's where the really good karma and a lot of credit belongs. Annie |

There's not a whole lot of people who would take on those puppies like you did. I got in an argument with someone on another group about this. If it weren't for people like you, who accept responsibility for other people's animals, we'd be in a whole heap of trouble 'cause shelters can't do it alone. I agree with you, too, I'm not cut out for it either and only do it when I'm pushed into it. I used to foster and quit. I also agree about the emotional attachment. Even with the last two kittens, Billy & Lilly, I knew they were going to a wonderful home. I knew I couldn't keep them. I was indescribably relieved when Pat offered to take them. That didn't stop me from bawling & squalling for ten miles down the road after we dropped them off. That was pretty stupid. Sherry |
