Cats n' old cars
Oh yeah, its Monday. Ssarted out this am to trap one of the sick street cats I saw the other day. Got the trap set and ready, got a place ready for the sick critter away from the others in the event s/he has something infections, got in the car (24 year old Mercedes) food and trap in the ready and mid turn about a block from my house at 5:15 this am, the car died... Dead. Couldn't start it.
Who would have thought that I could push a car at 61 years old! Fortunately, one of the neighbors came out and helped push it to it's current parking place and walked home - so glad it died only a block away - the thought of walking in my neighborhood at 5:30 am isn't my cup of tea. But that's over, the back and front colonies are fed and here I sit.
But not for long. Won't be taking the dogs to the Forest Preserve for their morning run - it's the yard today. Then, more work on the 501 app and the usual events of the day.
Good luck with the car. Hats off to you for getting up early to take care of poor little street cats. Anyone out there who is reading this - send a buck or two to help feed these little cats. I know Ellen and she will use the money on the cats and nothing else. Thanks in advance if you do.
