some prefer more posh settings.
Some are lucky to have lots of food and shelter, but it's not enough.
The surroundings don't feed the soul, soothe the loneliness, comfort rejection.
I ordered Feliway spray for the brats and hope to receive it this weekend. My brother has been taking care of ferals for many years, currently three in house. Now a very young, very thin, black and white long hair with the sweetest little face has shown up. Our shelter hasn't had room for a year and strays have no where to go. He does not want to start with another young cat at his age and a likely move to an apartment in the next few years. Did you see the story of the door that was blown open by wind and the 9 year old sweet dog that entered? In need of medical, on three legs, emaciated, infected, wandering the streets, the home owners decided to keep her. I wish they all would have happy endings.
Been ridiculously involved with finding a comforter without a microfiber cover and lots of loft. Number four is being returned this weekend and number five is ordered. Most cotton covers are white, not the best color for Carole. This last one appears to be overfilled, cotton, but white. Now a duvet cover is needed. I've ordered firefighter hoodies, back scratchers, books, blankets, boots, jeans, and other last minute items for my technology deficient family. Finally over and done with, now to plan meals.
I ordered a pair of Crocs from their site (they had a huge sale), they came today and I haven't taken them off yet. I love Crocs but am in between sizes and prefer a secure shoe. Found it. Elastic top to hug and this one runs small so the 1/2 size up fits perfectly. Comes in heather gray with a white sole which I may also order. Still on sale!! If my eyes improve we will make a trip to the Ohio mall Saturday to look around a little, I will be wearing these for sure.I haven't been sleeping so I may take a few sips of Black Velvet Caramel. Do not like the taste of wines or alcoholic anything, and it doesn't take much at all to make me sleepy.
Hope your week has gone well. The last weekend before Christmas!
Where did the year go?

Our kitties like boxes and "posh" places too. Feel so badly for Petey, but at least he has some shelter. Hate to think about all of the homeless animals that aren't as fortunate as Petey.
Your shoes look comfortable. I really need something new. Am wearing Sketchers clogs now, with the bubble soles. I feel so different when walking on pavement, with my Clarks, than an carpet with the bubbles.
Wishing you a warm, happy weekend before Christmas.

You have such a good heart, Marly. The cats we find lounging on our patio during the day go home at night. I had a friend in Tampa who cared for a feral cat, but I have never seen one around here. One of our neighbors had a tuxedo cat named Bob. He use to make the rounds in the neighborhood...go inside for a visit then go on to the next house. Take care and have a great weekend.

Despite the eye issue, you are accomplishing so much toward the Christmas wrap up of activities. Hope you are up to going to Ohio and that it will be for you, at last... I like those shoes...comfy, supportive shoes in just the right fit, not easy to come by. Bless you as you go through the weekend.
Marly: You are an amazing woman, what care and love you give these creatures.
I am so happy I am not alone in loving animals.
Our cat was a feral now I cannot get rid of her off my lap.
I know what you mean about comforters, some have foreign fibers not good for anyone.
I have tried crocs cannot wear them I need a arch support that they do not have, high instep needed.
I hope you have a beautiful Christmas.
