In this home, the doggies I take in don't steal from me or get drunk on the alcohol I have put away for future use. I don't have to hide anything away for safe keeping with my 4 footed friends. They don't come into my home telling me that they will take care of my other animals while I am gone & then feed the guinea pig bird seed & feed the bird guinea pig pellets.....& on top of that kill the fish by not feeding it at all.

They also do not come into my house as hired help & then steal ID, write checks, & cut phone chords when they are caught applying for a credit card using my Mothers name.

I have been burned too many times by too many people who I haven't known that well only trusted....because I hadn't been burned yet. After the experience last year with the home care RN that came into my Mothers home & stole her blind & then called the police on me to accuse me of abuse to my Mother.....She was supposed to be so passionate towards cancer patients & she came highly recommended by my Mothers boyfriend & his daughter.....never to trust anyone again. I do not let anyone into my living quarters again....never, no way, no how.

I do not trust any humans....I was even scared to death to take an older lady home who came up to me outside of Wal-Mart needing a ride home late at night ( I took her home anyway, but held my breath the whole way.....& swore after that I would never do that to myself again).

I have never had a good experience to out weigh the bad experiences.....they have all been bad......so why in the world should I trust humans ever again.

I will stick with my 4 legged true friends or even the 2 legged birds....but nothing else....I don't even want the 2 legged person I have been maried to for 30 years in my life anymore so why would I want to take in anyone else.

I was always open to helping people & putting them up in my home but I have been burnt with my experiences & not willing to go there ever again. I now have the intense need to protect myself & the only way I know to do that is to not let any person into my home again.

I am planning on being a rescue home for horses, dogs, cats, & any other critter that needs a home or safty, but I just can't trust humans anymore.....unless they are people I that are completely close friends that I have known well for years & know their background.

I can't afford to put myself into the position I am now trying to recover from.....the last burn was so horrible that I can't even look at a person like her anymore & feel any feelings of being safe.

So you can understand my NO answer.
