Took a Positive Step Today.

[Grama-Herc]

Some of the folks here who have been here for some time remember that I used to be a shelter home/foster mommy for new born orphan kittens. Well,
I resigned several years ago. I was so burnt out from no sleep. I had not been without babies/kittens for about 4 years. That is alot of kittens to handle non stop.

Well, recently I have really been missing the babies/kittens. So, today I went to the local rescue group where I volunteered before and picked up 2
adorable 3 week old kittens and brought them home.

They will be with us until they are about 9 weeks old and then they will be spayed/nuetered and adopted through the adoption center. The group is called Friends of Strays and we deal with strays only. People bring the animals to us and we do whatever is necessary to find them homes. We are a no kill shelter. I love the fact I can now say "We" when referring to them. I like being a part of this.

Anyway, the babies are so cute. I will post their pictures as soon as they get their bath. Boy are they ever dirty.

I can't believe the way I feel right now. Focusing on something other than myself and mother and our issues and caring for these 2 helpless little babies has made all the difference in the world. Better than any drug or therapy tat I know of that's for sure !!

Herc,

I'm so glad that you made this move.....It WILL be good for you and it will help to reduce your stress. You're right too, it will help you to NOT focus on yourself.....

I am also enjoying the miracle of kittens. I have two new beings at my place, since two weeks ago, they are 10 weeks old now. Little hellions! It is indeed wonderful to have someone else to look after. And when they sidle up next to me and purr...there is nothing else like it!

Good for you! They are receving warm, food and a whole lot of love and in return you are receving thankfulness and love back. What a loving 2 way street. Without my grandson and dog to bring me joy and happiness, I am not sure where I would be. This is a good distraction and healthy thing you are doing.

I am here to report that I have found the perfect drug for depression and self isolation. Simply go get a litter of tiny kittens and center your on them. \

My mother can't stop commenting on the positive affect these babies have had on me. I am not depressed or moping. I am up and positive and most of all off my arse and moving. I have not been this positive and happy and up in years. Mom is amazed at the affect these babies have had on me.

I am amazed at the affect the kittens have had on me. I really did not expect this kind of reaction.

I highly recommend this cure! Besides the only side affect from this cure is loosing some of you sleep.

This is amazing. I can't get over how great I feel. This is physically as well as mentally. DAM I FEEL GOOD1

Grama-Herc,
I am so pleased these little babies are helping you. My sister is 56 years old and now owns a part-time dog. (she shares it w/ boyfriend in seperate apt.)
This is her 1st dog since leaving home @18. She never wanted a pet or child which caused her divorce. Now, she can't believe how an animal can bring you joy and happiness. She is constantly taking pics of it. She talks of dog as if a child like I do. It is great she finally realizes the happiness a pet can bring but sad it took her all these years to open her heart to one.
