RE: A cautionary pet tale to share with your neighbors, because I know You Would Never ....
Sigh. Hello fellow rescuer. You've been through a lot! The flesh eating thing is terrifying! And they say it's the kids that have pets following them home but I've noticed quite a few husbands are bringing animals home too.
I've contracted a mild case of cat scratch fever. I'm sure this little one was close enough to share it with my cats. They say there's no reason to treat it unless it turns nasty. I'm not waiting. It's colloidal silver for everybody for two months.
As people have stopped by, I've started to remember all the dogs we rescued in the city. But in most cases the dogs were just lost. I learned all kinds of methods for finding owners. And plus it's just much easier to work with a fully staffed animal control center.
The neighborhood where I grew up had cats that were basically community cats until a boy got bit and had to get rabies vaccinations. Yeah. Cat traps were suddenly a thing. I think my dad carried off 3 in one week and he wasn't the only one carrying cats away.
Animals always induce rambling, though. Have you noticed?
I call this my UseeIsee... It's the only way I can tell a long story. You're welcome to use it. It also works great with short stories.
