Helping Fur Babies

Sometimes we pick them up, sometimes they knock on the door. It seems we've turned into a kitty rescue of sorts. With that comes responsibilities. As there is a fine line between being a kitty rescue and a crazy cat person. We are crazy kitty rescue people - lol. 

Bugs have been a battle this spring. Ear mites have invaded our space. The older cats Gizmo and Miss Cleo seem to be suffering the worst. With every over the counter remedy failing we made an appointment for Miss Cleo..... 

Today was her day to go in. The mites were bad and she had to be sedated while they worked on her, so it was a traumatic day! 

Thankfully She's home resting now. 

The bill was bigger than expected... so we're reaching out for a little help.  So Please if you can   

Her bill was $408.00. Which was A little more than what was in the kitty pot.. 

On Faith We made Old man Gizmo's appointment, which is estimated at about the same amount.

 We are hoping to raise about $500 to pay the balance of Cleo's bill and get Gizmo taken care of. His ears are just as bad if not worse. Every little bit helps and all Donations are greatly appreciated by all of us here at the Bright side of the Barn.

Gizmo turned 12 years old last fall! 

Pretty handsome for a Senior.

Most often I pay the vet bills myself. This year with the rising costs of food, litter and helping the wild feeders, we pretty much spent the kitty pot. Papa's health has kept him from working steady so the kitty pot doesn't get as much as it used too. 

Believe me, Every little bit helps, and We all Thank you!

Blessed by God

What is this Blog about?

 When I started the BRIGHT SIDE OF THE BARN - it was for me. 

 A place to heal.

 I love to write, and have been blessed with a couple pieces published. I've always wrote letters, to myself or to others as a means of sorting out how I felt or how I wanted to react to something. Or to express myself without being misunderstood or misrepresented by the stigma of 'he said' 'she said'. My words were fact - in black and white. No dispute.

 I could rewrite, where as with words once spoken, they are said.

 So, when it comes to healing 'writing' made sense. Why a blog? Why make it public? Why share? From my end, it's like sitting in a group therapy, or class. Feedback sometimes can be the answer your looking for. But, you don't get feedback if you don't open up.

 My mom  once told me that it wasn't about what I was going through, it was about the people watching me go through it. They needed to see the way out. My mom put a lot of the world on my shoulders as a child.. lol. 

 I think it's the OPENING UP part that helps us heal. We've let it out, released the pressure, tension, burden.... Once out, there is nothing to HOLD so you feel lighter.

 The first post was nothing more than a welcome and announcement that I had deleted any and all previous social media and blogs. There was NOTHING of me on the internet at the time I started...

 The 3rd post is where we really dig in and BEGIN..... You can read it here

  ~ Illness X

 It's taken most of my life's journey so far to get here.... and understand me. In the last 4 years I've come to the place of peace and have the ability to look forward. For me now - Life is GOOD. 

 A lot of things have happened and we've shared many emotions along the journey.  Together we've come to a happy place and moving forward. It has touched my heart at how many have come along on this journey with me, with us. I love each and every one of you. 

 I accidently deactivated this blog once, couple years ago. A few folks went to alot of trouble to find me and ask me about it. It was an accident. But the experience, made me realize that someone out there really enjoys this little blurp of mine. Perhaps, someone struggles as I do.?

 

 So

 Other than having to recreate myself financially and the added burden of Papa's decreasing health.... life is looking up. And we shall continue to blog the randomness of my life.! So I hope you all stick around and enjoy the journey with me as we continue to grow older {never old}. 

Life's a journey enjoy the ride!

Love to hear from you!

Blessed by God
