Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo's Home
YES!!! GOD does work miracles, just has to be in His own time. In the meantime, you imagine the worst possible, don't sleep, cry and worry yourself crazy. I don' understand why they feel they have to put us through all that misery. Sometimes, Harley or Homey, actually any one of them will decide not to come when called, do not answer me and because we are in the woods, I imagine a coyote or some such creature has gotten them or they have been shot and any of a dozen other things, call until I am hoarse and then they come to the door with a Why don't you let me in? attitude. I don't knowwhether I want to kill them for putting em through this o just love them to pieces because I am so glad. Then I thank God for bringing them back home to me safe and soun.

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo's Home
My refrigerator gave out and I had to get a new one. Harley tried sneaking out 3 different times and I gave chase. I knw they had to take the door off the hinges to get the thing in, but I was a wreak by the time it was over with. Then to make matters worse, the ice maker leaks and I can't get any water or ice out of it till they fix it July 6. Natalie at...@optonline.net wrote: That's wonderful news; you must have had a huge sigh of relief! Make a big sign, telling anyone who enters your home to never leave the door open, under penalty of death or worse. That's what I did when we had construction on the house...but did they even bother reading my BIG sign? I was on pins and needles, constantly following them as they went in and out, shutting doors after them.

We did go back today. At first I though he was not inproving but the vet saw marked improvement slight dehydration so we got fluids. HE came home ate a little on his own Tonight he peed in his box on his own. I am not sure what he tried to eat on his own. He had some interest in food, but I am still syringing him. He managed to get up on the bed and my chair while Eric was out of the room so he definitely has fight in him. All in all good news and way better than I though.

She was the bravest and sweetest little girl. After the last positive died I found a kitten at the dumpster colony I TNR and feed. Angel was negative and got me into kitten rescue. In the end I kept Angel and have fostered several more kittens. I know as long as I am fostering kittens I can not take in any FeLV cats.
