I am excited about my social outing b/c it is perfect for me. I am looking forward to touring the gardens and then there is wine and Spanish tapas - running food and drinks are my favorite. And there will be music - a band and it is outdoors. It is a custom ordered break for me.
I did have a bit of a downer this morning. I was driving back from my Sunday breakfast - saw a little dead kitty on the side of the road. I pulled over to see if it was alive. The poor thing was not breathing and there was no body or eye movement at all. I called animal control and told them that if by some miracle the poor little thing was alive to let me know - I would cover all vet bills. I actually usually stop and check all animals that are hit by cars. I cannot stand the thought of a poor animal lying there hurt and dying slowly.
When I was in law school, my friends and I were driving back late at night in Vermont and we hit a fox. I made these two poor men turn around. We had to either rescue the fox or needed to put it out of its misery. The men in my life do have a way of listening to me w/o any expectation of rationality when it comes to animsls.
Poor The X had to deal with that part of me and well so will the next poor guy that trips into my life! There was one time I saw a poor little birdy that looked like it couldn't fly - so I made The X pull over and we rescued him and took him to a wild animal shelter. Unfortunately the little guy had a broken back and was euthanized. Another time there was a huge lizard at Cozumel and some fool had lassoed him with a rope that was trailing behind him. I told The X to go save the lizzard. I of course ran to the hotel to ask for help. The X was good with animals - he did get the rope off. Yes, there were some good reasons why I M The X - reasons that still make me smile...
My neighbor GF is the same way. Her H literally panics when his W sees a stray or an new type of animal somewhere. And the twins are just like her so well - he has resigned himself to the fact that there is just no fighting it.
Aminals and children get pretty much a free pass with me and put and instant smile on my face. My kitties have me wrapped around their little paws and well my future kids - well that will be an adventure.
So there we have a requirement for an R with me. He has to really love animals and kids.
Poor little kitty. I hope she didn't suffer long. And I hope she doesn't have kittens waiting for her somewhere... I hope she had a good life.
