• Big Move
  

  Hi again Jeff! I just read your post about moving and wish you the best of luck! I don’t know where you’ve traveled before but you are moving to a beautiful country with very nice people and cultures. I bet you have been hounded with natural blondes jokes since you live in CA. Your new adventure in life can only add to it and it seems that just maybe, you’ll have plenty of more travels and even more moves but think of everyone as a move and raise closer to retirement!

• Rant about “Pet services”
  

  I am so-so happy for you and your beloved cat. It can be just as hard or harder to find a Vet that completes all of our hopes for good health and life for our wonderful pets of any kind. I don’t know how close you are to a major city but I live about 45 miles south of Tampa and all of our news stations have reporters and interns working on stories and helping people like us get results, all over the Tampa area. They are great!! Any story involving a pet and or pet owner being jacked around is news, espescially with all the info you already have on these pond scum. It never hurts to try right?

  I do apologize to all for not including all of the confusing situation. My brother lives with us, so he will be here and the two times I’ve been away overnight or longer he told me right out that he can’t handle “my job” being a caregiver, especially with the dogs included. I am a very compassionate person and I believe soco was quite cruel in his response and it was uncalled for, sobeit that he didn’t reply to help but insult. Thank you Jeff, you are right, the plane is my best route after a lot of research.

  You don’t know me or my situation because your abnoxiosly rude comment would not have been included. My brother will NOT be caring for my Father while I’m recovering and HE also wants me to bring the dogs with me because he can’t and knows my brother is too lazy to walk them, in the past we have had complaints from our association about him not having leashes on the dogs which is required and he refuses to do it. My Father is going to be watched over and cooked for by my friend who lives directly behind us and is also a LPN. No, she can’t walk the dogs either, and Dad doesn’t want to hire a dog walker. I wouldn’t have asked for help if I was truly at my wits end and their is not a single self-absorbed bone in my body. I have given 12 years to care for my Father and Mother while she was alive without complaint. That is all I have to say to you.

  Thanks for taking tthe time to read and respond. Unfortunately, my brother is NOT an option because of his job and complete lack of compassion. He is a totally self-absorbed person along with drug & alcohol issues. I know my Dad will be okay since I hired some one to do some of my responsibilities but I really HAVE TO bring the dogs. I guess I can buy 2 plane tickets, I’ll check it out! Thanks again!!!!
