never a dull moment

Sitting here trying to figure out how to be positive after the stressful day I had today. I have some big decisions to sleep on today, and I find myself now scared to make a decision. First the good stuff that happen today, Because I don't want to be a downer....


We had several people bring us things for the thrift store today dispite all the confusion, we were still given a lot of support for people that truly care about this rescue. It gives me hope... however I moral support doesn't pay the bills so as much as I love my friends I still feel defeated, Loved but defeated!

Our senior doxie went home today... yea for Hannah!!!!

Madeline, although blind recognizes me voice and is looking so beautiful these days.. Soon she will have her surgery and be up for adoption!

A prank at Greenwood High school turned into a rescue today. Apparently a student bought a rat from a pet store and turned it loose the last day of school. Today they finally caught it and brought it to us. Now my first question was how do we know the one you caught is the one he bought, and how do we know that it was actually bought at a pet store? The RePets staff checked out the story and the baby rat is in fact a pet store rat. :o) never a dull moment!


Had a long talk with Lorri at The shelter about RePets.... Shes very encouraging, and I am glad to be able to call her a friend.

Went and looked at a few places for the thrift store. I know that today is the first and we were supposed to move in, but the spots not open and the land lord said he needed a few days to get his stuff out. That didn't surprise me... and I went looking for more places to rent.

Was insulted by a old cranky guy calling my idea Thrift store a junk store.
We looked at another place in the bad part of town that was way to expensive.
I drove around all day in the hot sun studying traffic flow and calling land lords, when I stumbled across a place that was the right size for fair rent..... This place has potential, it has possibility. If over 6000 sq ft, it has a large fenced in lot, and its land lord LOVES my idea of helping animals and the community. HOWEVER and there is always a however.... the Rent is $3000, the space is big sot he heat and air will be expensive, and its on Chestnut street so I have to wonder will people donate and adopt from that location enough so that I can afford to open smaller RePets in other county's? I have to decided whats best for the animals and the futures of our rescue...... Making decisions like this is making me old!
