I love animals. Especially cats.
A dog broke her back. I live part time in Costa Rica and don't drive here. I had to have a guy drive over an hour and have vet hospital stay open late.
They needed to put "Come Here Batman" on an iv. Then they were going to put him in a cage. And just leave.
I said, no way. Took him and his little iv bottle home. 3 hours later poor guy died in my arms. I cried all night.
Later very despondent.
A neighbor suggested I volunteer with an animal welfare group that has a Foster Mom program to heal my grief.
Wow. At one time I hosted 19 orphan kittens in my home. Some newborn.
