yes my dear friend TL! Power remains on so far--and God willing it will stay on. We are still getting hit hard! Snow is pretty deep...sadly one of my outside kitties decided he wanted a snack and caught a little bird which of course I did my best to save--running like some kind of idiot through a blizzard in deep snow in my bedroom slippers--a sight to be seen for sure! Smile. The Little bird was hurt but still I put him in the berry bushes so God willing he will survive--I did my best! My cat was not happy--but that is life! The snow is starting to turn to sleet......but they say it is just for a short period. The flakes have been huge and beautiful really.......
Thank you elston...I really needed to hear that. I do know it but forget during stressful times like this. You know the critters play a large part of my life especially now so I do tend to worry when really it is not necessary! They are snug and warm and eating is not on their priority list I guess.
That's right cyn.....your critters will be just fine.....those outdoor ones know what to do.....(including catching an occasional song bird.....sad....but it is what cats do when they live outdoors).
I know how you feel about your critters....(and all animals).....I have much the same sensitivities. But I urge you not to worry about things that don't need or which you cant change. There is such a thing as "compassion fatigue" or burn out....and it is the last thing you need at this point. Keep your priorities straight....take care of yourself and your DH and the indoor critters who are dependent on you----those outdoor kitties will fare just fine and your dog in his house with food is going to be fine too.
Yes, you are correct elston--just need to hear that sometimes. And I for sure could be one that could easily become burned out from just to much compassion especially with regards to things I have no control over. I will take care of what is in my home and of course always keep all my critters cared for but not to the point of stressing about it or at least try! Smile! Thank you my dear caring friend!
Good morning my friends! Had a horrible start to my day--slipped on the ice/snow when I went out to put some dry food for the outside kitties. Wish I had just fallen down but no I had to fall against a wrought iron chair across my chest and bad shoulder--ouch! Really hurts. Probably in for a lovely bruise. One of my outside kitties has some blood in his urine--never a good thing--so I gave him some antibiotics and just pray it will do the trick. He'll have to take them for about 12 days and then we will know. DH got mad at me for getting hurt--like I tried! Ha! I know he is just scared if something happens to me what will happen to him? Well I won't let anything happen to me. I'm a pretty tough old broad! I'm holding my breath on the power here--getting anything and everything done that requires water like laundry, shower etc just in case it goes out. We are on a well and without electricity we lose that with everything else and it is snowing harder then ever right now! I am stressed to the max--no beyond the max...guess it's a test??? I can't even get my back door open! No, this is not much fun!
