My Kitty Fix

 People need to get their cats fixed! Especially if your going to let them be outside. Most shelters have a special rate or they are associated with programs that offer reduced rates to have the job done. If you can't get them fixed DON'T LET THEM OUTSIDE!

 You really shouldn't let your cats outside anyway, unless they are barn cats - and they should have a safe place in the barn where predators can't reach them. Right now - Eagles, coyotes, fox and other predators are all hunting 'local' game. With all the 'rodent control' we have eliminated one of their primary sources of food leaving pets as the 'easy prey'.

 I have recently been having a KITTEN CRAVING, and wanting an orange one to add to my bunch... After countless searches and no luck, I became a foster mum for 2 of our local humane society's. I will get to take care of kittens and more kittens and more kittens and help them all find their own forever homes..

 Within days of being accepted in the programs, the emails started shooting in.... The animal shelters NEED YOU - especially this time of year. There are so many mama cats and litters of kittens that come in every day! 

 The shelter provides you with all the food, litter and medications that the babies will need.

My first round ~ 

 I have a litter of 6 kittens, 2 baby girl bunnies and another litter of 2 kittens that are 10 week old feral kittens. Still working on being able to even touch those two. I haven't even been able to get their pictures. They are still pretty scared.

 Meanwhile - the 6 include 3 orange tigers, 1 white with orange tips, 1 calico/patch, and 1 black and white; that to me, seems to be a week or so older? 

 It's a bit of work! But I'm having a Blast!! And I think they like it here too!

If you know me, You know

It truly amazes me that people think they know you and they think they can predict you, when more often than not, they missed the point and don't really know you at all.

If you want to know someone - 

try talking TO THEM, 

and not to everyone else

 ABOUT THEM. 


Chances are the person your asking, has their own opinions, or caused their own situations with that person. How that person reacts to you could be totally different than how that person reacted to them.

As for Me, I'm not like most folks, I don't think like they do

  •  I find lying disrespectful and it's the lies that piss me off, it's usually not the truths that your trying to hide that upset me. More often than not, I really don't care about the what.
I have an amazing relationship with my God and He tends to show me when people lie, I end up finding out the truth and it hurts your relationship with me more than anything. 
  • I'm not into gossip or drama. If you have something to say to someone, or if I have something to say - say it to them and not to everyone else. Don't accuse me of something I don't do. 
Too often families are broken up and destroyed because a family member will tell lies of another and cause problems, without anyone ever asking for the TRUTH.
{my ex's niece confessed to doing things to him and making it look like me, because she hated both of us?} people are more childish than adultish these days.
  • I've never done drugs. I was accused of being an alcoholic when I was 11 and put in 'treatment'. I have only ever smoked marijuana. Yet I'm accused of doing all kinds of drugs, being anorexic and so much more. 
It was the domestic abuse that caused me to not have any weight. 11 years of a bad marriage I couldn't get over 100 pounds. As soon as I divorced I reached 120. 
My mother was the one who started me smoking cigarettes and weed, after the first time I was molested. It was offered to me again after I was raped. As it turns out in later years, doctors told me that  "I was self medicating" as I have extremely high blood pressure. It helped reduce the pain in my chest apparently I was avoiding a heart attack? early on.
  • I love my kids more than Life itself. I always wanted a family and looked forward to family events, like Graduations, Weddings, new Grand babies and Great Grand babies. Birthdays, Holidays and 'every Sunday dinner'. I wanted an 'interactive' family that loved each other. 
My family never associated with outside of the immediate family. I was able to meet my grandparents every couple of years, I knew a couple Aunts and Uncles, cousins.... But for the most part of growing up life was - mom dad and us kids. 
So I longed for a family to enjoy.
  • I've never embraced an act of revenge, or bothered to look back on those that have wronged me in this life. They are in God's hands and I feel sorry for them. I don't go back after folks. I go forward and enjoy my life. 

GOD KNOWS. I suspect a few people will end up in hell because of all they have done in this life. Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord, I will repay.......

Me in a nutshell.

 I'm probably not the person you heard about.
