Our Animals

I met Rosie O’Donnells sister. Well, not really, but this woman could have been. I went to get Shubi at the Vets last night and there she was. She was there with her 4 kittens getting their shots. She’s a New Yorker, looks like Rosie’s twin, and sounds just like her!
We talked for a while, as we waited for our bills and animals. She had lost her cat of 14 years last week and went right out to the shelter and got the kittens! How could she say no to any of them? I was thinking how much work it would be with 4 cats, and then I remembered that I am the crazy woman with 3 dogs! And yes, it is a lot of work, but I wouldn’t trade one of them in. (well, most of the time, anyway!)
She was saying that her friends all thought she was nuts because she’d spent a fortune on her other cats care. She said she would have done anything for him.
I knew exactly what she meant. I’ve been there myself. I can’t begin to count, (well, I could but it would depress me!) how much money I have spent on Shubi since she got sick two years ago. But the fact is, when you are the type of person that this woman and I are, you would find the money, somehow, to pay the bills, because these furry little beasts are your children, your companions, your loves.
Shubi came up the steps at that moment and came running over to me and the woman exclaimed how lovely she was. I swear Shubi knows when people are speaking about her! She stopped and wagged her tail and gave a little smile.
I headed home then, with my little bundle of fur. Happy to know that she was okay and going happily home with me.

  1. I would have done anything for my dear Dusty! I LOVED that cat, she was SO sweet. Cats just don’t stand a chance with cars running over them though. And notice I went out and got two kittens to help fill the hole.And Gus and Sam stay inside. It helped, but I still miss Dusty.
