Yes, who can understand it. Our furkids are
as important as human family members because they are our family,
too. Very upsetting.

People should feel guilt about buying expensive cars and
clothes and wine when there are people who can not afford health care, but
not about providing medical care to their own loved ones. My partner
and I were upset about an article we read about a woman who spent $25,000
on a kidney transplant for her cat and was interviewed about it, and then
she got all sorts of hate mail about doing that when there are humans who
can not afford it. She said she does not drink, gamble, go on vacation, or
buy anything expensive, so why can't she spend her hard earned money to
save her cat's life? My partner and I were so upset-- why don't
people send hate mail to people who spend $25,000 on a car-- why is that
somehow ok and spending it save a life is not? Michelle

otherwise. Lots of love and hugs to Jelly Roll, and hope the treatment goes
well. Kerry -----Original Message-----
