Geeze MC, you're a mess! :) .  I was laying in bed last night and happened on one of those awful animal rescue shows on TV.  I never watch them, they always leave me in tears.  I'm so grateful that there are people out there that go in and rescue neglected/abused animals, but I have enough suffering in my own life and it burdens me to know about suffering I can't do anything about.  Yes, I'm a big baby, but I know my limitations, (well, at least I'm working on them!).  Anyway, I was watching this segment where this woman had been evicted from her apartment because she had too many cats.  These well meaning animal control officers where chasing these poor scared kitties throughout the apartment with nets.  They were nervously laughing the entire time!  I wanted to reach through my TV and slap them!  The cats all looked healthy and well cared for.  I kept wondering about the poor woman who thought her only recourse was to desert them.  I kept thinking about what was going to happen to those poor cats whose lives have been so unexpectedly disrupted.  My right paw kitty, Instigator saw my distress and climbed up on my chest.  My thoughts turned to this list and all the wonderful people that share their homes and hearts so unselfishly with our animal friends.  I cried into Insty's fur as I thought about what might happen to my babies, if anything happened to me and/or Bruce.  We have to do our best to keep ourselves healthy, for their sake, as well as our own.  Blessings to this wonderful list!
No more late night TV for me!

i had endometriosis, have had three back surgeries, recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and have fibromyalgia..... have been on disability for 13 years now--ie, i am a member of the idle poor, which is the ONLY way i can even begin to keep up with my menagerie!
 
i know just what you all mean about knowing a whole lot about drugs for specific conditions, learned from the cats--before i had rotator cuff surgery, we were trying to figure out how to figure out the HUMAN dosage of depo.... and whenever a friend gets an URI, i threaten to scruff them if they don't take their meds.... had a doctor once who was notorious for overscheduling himself--waiting 2 or more hours for the appointment was not unusual. i remember him being HIGHLY offended one time when, after waiting more than 3 hours and not being seen, i left, because i had a vet appointment.
