Another cat is going to come home…..Desi/Baxter

This animal rescue league board member thing is probably akin to taking a small child into a candy store.  I was on the web site last night where I meandered over to the pets for adoption and found an adorable black cat…”he” has been adament that he doesn’t want another cat; but, I’ve been trying to wear him down.  When I got home tonight, I told him I had been back in the cat rooms after the meeting – he said  – hmmmm where are you going to live…..

Desi..is black with a white chest and white paws…oh my goodness.

I asked him if he would at least go in with me and meet Desi and he said…NINA GO AHEAD AND GET HIM.  The family is on “his” side even though none of them live at home…”he” loves Benny and Billy..he is just content…I just want one more…this one will be the same color as devil dog.  Dumb reason.  I can’t stand to think of euthanasia but I can’t rescue them all – I know this already….I’m struggling tonight trying to figure out what to do…for those of you who don’t know “him”, please know that he will love this cat as much as he loves all of the other critters..he just doesn’t want 3 cats.  That is his reason.  I wanted to get a black cat when I brought Benny home but Benny was so needy and won my heart…

So the inner struggle continues 😦

I’m working overtime this week so feel kind of numb…Monday night I went to the annual meeting of the Jasper County Animal Rescue League…I’ve been asked to fill a position on the board…it will be an appointed position which has to be approved by the county board of supervisors..so they told me that I’m on and they want me to attend meetings, etc but it has to be formally approved.

Tonight I attended a union meeting then Jenny and Ryan came for supper…we watched a little TV and let the dogs and cats entertain us before they went home and I came to work.

Dullsville – that is what it is…just trying to stay on track so I don’t burn out before the week is over….Occasionally I feel a flicker of fire under me but so far so good.

Until next time….
