So much for sleeping in today. If
I could literally sleep walk out to
the barn to feed the horses at
6:30 am I would be able to go back
to bed and fall back asleep.

If I thought yesterday was an
emotional roller coast today
could turn out to be not as bad
for me but for someone else in
the house.

After the football game Friday
night Megan and I were walking
to the car minding our own
business when appeared a cute
kitten about 6 months old. It was
a friendly little guy rubbing on our
legs and purring up a storm. Seems
he knew all the tricks.

We walk toward are car and said
cat follows us then heads toward the
road. Several times I picked it up
placed it under some pine trees in
the yard and went toward the car.
All this time Megan was being no help
and just kept asking please, please,
please can we take it home its going
to get hit by a car. Said no, no, no,
get in the car.

So doesn’t that cat pull the show
stopper and the deal clincher in
front of us, He goes bolting across
the road to see some other people walking
down the street and almost gets hit not
once but 3 times.

Guess where the cat is?
I was having flash backs to a earlier
little girl who had the same strong
feelings about lost creatures and
brought several home in my many
years of childhood. I agreed to
bring the cat home on the expecta-
tion that it is not staying and we
will find its owner or if no owner
a home.

She named it and its staying in her
room but it is still going and it is
going to be hard for her to let go.

We can’t keep it. I have 2 dogs and
a barn cat that need medical care
some way or another. I have a
horse that I have had and loved
for 10 years now that has a tumor
growing in her throat and needs to
see the vet and I can’t afford to
do either right now.

I think we have found a home
already with the grandma of one
of Megan’s friends so I told her
she will see the cat often just in
someone else’s house.

Today I hope I don’t scar her for
life but today I hope she also learns
a lesson of life and grows from it.
