So if you've even glanced over any of the pictures on here you might have noticed that I have pets. My two lovely labs Lizzy and Dixie and my fluff cat Pliny (Iske's brother), Pliny's mother returned home a couple of weeks ago, the prodigal pregnant cat. She was very very preggers so I brought her in, went and bought kitten food and made her a box in the garage. The next morning I come out to 5 tiny mewing babies. They are adorable, but really...I now have 7 cats.
Which brings me to my point, my pet addiction. I've found a new hobby as of late, I can't help myself but to stop anytime I see a lost animal running around. I pick it up, take it home, feed it and love it, and post on Craigslist that I've found it.
The first time this opened was about a month ago, I rescued 3 puppies that were chained together running down Victoria, well really the lab puppy and pit mix puppy were dragging the dachshund puppy along with them. I had them for 2 days and a night when their very grateful owners called me from my ad and came and picked them up.
Well it happened again last night, I was outside with Dixie admiring my new walkway lights when two big dogs came bounding down the street. A big German Shepherd mix and a Yellow Lab mix. They had collars but no tags, so I brought them in and put them in the backyard. My neighbor went walking Peanut and Dixie and happened upon the missing dogs owners out looking for them. Another happy ending!! I just can't help it, it's addicting to take in these animals, care for them, make sure they're not out in the elements and then reunite them happily with their owners. Is this wrong? I could get in trouble in the long run if owners don't show...then what do I do with the babies? Oh well, to quote Ms. Scarlett O'Hara, "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."
Camilla: in Roman mythology, legendary Volscian maiden who became a warrior and was a favourite of the goddess Diana. According to the Roman poet Virgil (Aeneid, Books VII and XI), her father, Metabus, was fleeing from his enemies with the infant Camilla when he encountered the Amisenus (Amazenus) River. He fastened the child to a javelin, dedicated her to Diana, and hurled her across the river. He then swam to the opposite bank, where he rejoined Camilla.
