Post #50 – Women’s Memoirs, Book Business – Kendra Bonnett and Matilda Butler
This has been a tough week for me. I have been on the road visiting animal shelters around the state of Maine. And I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. I knew from my reading that shelters were bursting at the seams with dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, horses…even reptiles. But like I said, I wasn’t prepared for just how dire their plight has become in this bad economy.
Visit your local shelter, and you’ll see exactly what I’ve been seeing all week. Crates stacked upon crates of cats and kittens…especially kittens. `Tis the season, I’ve been told. Most crates have two or three inhabitants. They’re clean and cared for, but all the cats have sad eyes. And if I didn’t already have three cats of my own, I’m sure I’d have come home with a couple new friends. And while you’re seeing the cats, you’ll be hearing the dogs. They’re in back, but doing their best to make their presence known. “I’m here!” “Come see me.” “I’m cute.” “I’m cuter.” “I know how to sit.”
