Five Precious Lives.
I have a friend….. Her name is Lisa.. I’ve mentioned her on a few occations. She in my opnion is one of the best people i have ever met and i admire and adore her. She also is friends with some little girls in th enieghborhood. they about 10 and 11. these girls got 5 2 week old kittens from a bush where ferel cats where notorious for having kittens.this year alone 3 kittens have died to that bush…Lisa had them for 5 hours when she called me in desperation. I know how to to take care of kittens. These 5 would be the first litter i would take careof on my own without my mother or older sister’s help. and i did great. the alternative to me takeing them home was putting them back in the bush…i knew tho that there chances of servival wouldn’t be to great. they all had the sniffles and sneezes. wel i had them for may be 3 or 4 days but to take care of kittens one must feed and potty them every 4 hours. *to potty a kitten one dampens a cloth or paper towel and gently rub there little parts untill they release there pee pee and or poo….* well i couldn’t handle it.. 5 kittens for ones first litter can be overwealming and i was feeling overwealmed.. well i had to take them with me tonight as my husband and sister and i went to my older sisters house *where my mother also lives* for the 4th and mine and Lewie’s 3rd year aniversy. My older sister is allot more experiances with infant kittens then i am. it was from her and my mother i learned to care for them. Well i left them with my older sister who was happy to take the burden. I couldn’t help but cry thinking about it.. even tho it was my desition to take them that has thus far kept them alive and as healthy as, kittens with colds, can be, i still feel like i failed….i don’t think Lisa is disapointed with me*as i did make sure it was ok with her to let my older sister finish raising them untill weened* at first she didn’t seem happy about the idea.. she thought my older sister was trying to take away my responsability and Lisa knows how proud i am when i get a chance to do something for any life. but it was my idea to leave them…once she realized this she felt better and agreed. My older sister will easily take care of any expenses * first vet viset and any medacine needed to clear up there little sniffls* and formula…*sighs* I’m disapointed with me…i thought i could do better and the best i could do was pass them on to some one i knew could do better then me. fortunatly i trust my older sister 110% to make sure those babies get everything they will ever need and then some.

Sometimes, the best decision for a living being is to put them in the hands of someone you have faith and trust in.
Since you recognized that it would be best for the kittens then you did NOT fail. You considered their care without being selfish and you did so with love. When you love… you never fail.

[…] I played with the dogs over at Lisa’s house while Angel helped her out around the house getting things ready. When we left, we headed on over to a park. Angel led me through the different trails. It was cold and all I could do was just hold her hand at times and let her know that I was there for her. […]
