AND, what is such a shame is that there are so MANY of us on this site, that IF we lived near Terry, would be banging on her door to offer our help!

*sigh*

Love and Hugs

I always wished I lived near Terry from when I joined this group.
There must be folks in your area who would love to learn and gain experience with birds and animals but how do we find them.

Thank you all so very much for the kind comments and well wishes. Sadly, volunteers have never worked for me aside from those willing to go out on a big rescue/roundup .. those things are kinda fun .. dealing with the mundane cleaning, watering, medicating, feeding and such doesn't garner much enthusiasm. We manage though the days become very long and tiring this time of year .. ala I wasn't even on P-T yesterday due to taking care of little and not so little ones here.

The added "burden" of all the new cats hasn't helped as I have not yet managed to adjust myself to how to fit a 500% increase in cats into the scheme of things here .. but .. we're gaining on it. It's especially hard with feral cats as they want to hide, and I have to go shoosh them all out of their hiding places to take head count and be sure all kitties are accounted for and are doing OK.

Still, all is well here, and I'm about to be off to bed in a few minutes as tomorrow is a work day as in real work at the office in Garden Grove, so I've got to be up early and be organized as soon as my sleepy feet hit the floor.

Terry

Thanks for this flea tip, MJ! I'll bet that works like a charm!

I DO manage to get a few minutes everyday for personal necessities! I just don't waste much time on them!

Once I know everybirdy and everyanimal is fed and safe, it gives me a sense of great relief .. at that point I can relax a little bit.

Hi Terry!

You mean to tell me that NO JH/HS guy or gal is interested in the animal field or looking to gain experience first hand?

WHAT is happening with kids today? Ah, don't answer that...with some, I already know! *sigh*

Don't give up...there has to be one (two?) out there someplace!

Meanwhile, again, HUGE GRATEFUL THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!

Love and Hugs

Shi

ROFL !! While that is certainly true, what about the HUGE VOID that would be left if Terry moved?

At least WE have interested "volunteers"...so far, there only seems to be Terry in her spot!

Since CA is due to become water one of these days, unfortunately ... I think I'll stay here.

Love and Hugs

Shi
