Well did my 1/2 day at the animal shelter.  We had a kitten brought in last wk, so pathetic, & I found out he had some sort of neuro muscular thing.  Our staff are always so so burdened that no one really had the proper amt of time for him.  It really bothered me & my hubby & I decided we'd foster him for a bit so I could give him love, emotional & mental stimulation along with a kind of physical therapy for his little body.  When I got there this a.m. they said that he had been put down due to the fact of what his condition could maybe develop into the future.  I accept this of course but for some reason I was just devastated.  He had been named Frankie.To burden the morning even more, 2 days ago our authorities had done a sort of raid on a puppy mill and took abt 80 - 90 cocker spaniels & beagles.  I won't elaborate on some of the conditions, you can use your imagination.  Our shelter took abt 10 of the beagles.  One little guy just sits in the back of his cage & shakes.  What is wrong with some people!!!!So all in all most of you can imagine how physically that just abt finished me for the day.  But I can say it didn't totally finish me as I'm too stubborn for that.  So on that note I'm hoping it means that overall I'm doing OK with my Lupus and maybe even winning.So for all who took time to read this - I thank you for letting me cry on your shoulders.I send you all the ultimate best wishes I can.
