I had a sad afternoon. I don’t normally post stuff like this but then I don’t normally pick up an animal on the side of the road to take to the vet to be euthanized. This cat for some reason caught my eye. I turned my car around because something was not right. Again, I don’t normally do that. As I turned my car around, a truck was in the road with its flashers on. The cat had sat down in front of the truck in the middle of the road. When I got a good look at that cat, I knew I could not leave it there. She was so infected in her eyes, she was blind. She could not open her eyes at all. She was close to death. I knew she was. She was so skinny she had to be in organ failure. I drove straight to the vet with that sick and dying cat on my lap. She did not move. She had to know she was safe. It broke my heart to do it, but there was no amount of antibiotics that was going to fix her. I knew that before talking to the vet, but she said the same. She was euthanized today. She may not have been my cat, but it still broke my heart. She suffered alone for what looked like a very long time. At least I know she was shown compassion and kindness in the end. My heart is still broken. Show someone some compassion and kindness just because you can, not because you have to.
After the incident with the cat, I sure did make sure I saw all of mine. They were all home where they were supposed to be.
Tinkerbelle wanted some love. I am sure she felt my stress.
Ted was eating a little more today. I hope he is on the mend. He is stressing me out. The weather is so up and down right not though, so that does not help anything. He did not eat as much as I thought he should, so I gave him some feed out of my hand and he ate that, but not much of it.
The pigs were all yelling at me for food. They do that.
Alex ate some today. Maybe he is okay, too, but I still do not think so.
The cardinal came back to visit again. I wonder who is checking on us.
I was doing some worming of the animals. I got to Noma and she ran off. The trouble was, she ran off into the pen, so I was able to get her even easier. She was much displeased.
I finally saw the comet. At least I think I did. It is super faint and super small, but I think I succeeded. If I didn't, please do not tell me any different. I worked hard at thinking I found it.
Ursula and Oreo had to be close to me tonight. I was grateful. It was a tough afternoon, but I feel like I did what needed to be done.
