You are an amazing woman.
Your strength and determination is applaudable.
I am sorry that this is going to be a tough day for you.
These are tears of love and fear of the unknown for her future.
Will they tell you when she gets adopted? any further contact?
(((((HUGS)))))
for you today.
love you

I'm guessing you wont see this before taking her. But if you do,
I think you can take her pillow with her. Give it a try, I know when
Derrick worked at the humane Society they had some cat's that had
things that they were brought in with that helped them at the society.

They can just say no right.

I told Corey to call me 1-2 hours before he was going to get home because I had to give Dottie gabapentin to sedate her for the trip to the Humane Society, but when he called, she was under the bed, so I had to drag the poor thing out from under there, and shove the pill down her throat. She forgave me, and laid next to me on the couch for a little while, but when it came time to put her in the carrier to leave, she was under the bed again, so I had to drag her out again. I felt so bad

But I put her on her pillow on the couch next to me instead of in the carrier. I patted her and kissed her little head, and told her how much I loved her, and how sorry I was... I don't know how long I did that for because I was just bawling my eyes out. Corey didn't rush me. He just rubbed my back instead. I slept with a towel Wednesday night so it would have my scent all over it, and put it in the carrier along with her favorite toy. I cried the whole way to the Humane Society.

The girl there was very nice. She asked a lot questions to get information that will be helpful in placing Dottie, and gave me plenty of opportunities to tell her what a little doll she is, and how lucky anyone would be to have her. She said that they place older kitties all the time, but they usually spend more time at the shelter. I was honest about the scratching, but she didn't see that as an issue because they educate parents about trimming their nails short regularly and having plenty of scratching posts (that DOES help). I gave them 2 gabapentin pills so that she won't get sick in her carrier when her new parents take her home. She seemed very optimistic that Dottie will find a good home. I can call to check up on her if I want. I don't know if I can do that.

I just cried the whole time there, cried all the way home, cried off and on when we got home, and I'm crying now. I just can't believe I did that. She's gone and isn't coming back

Then the desk came. The FedEx guy never rang the bell. He just left it up against the door outside. IT'S F'ING HUGE!!! Corey had the hardest time getting it up the stairs and into the apartment, and hurt his back and knee. He was so mad at me for ordering it before the move. He said "I hate you right now," so I got hysterical because I'm selfish, made bad decisions, and it's my fault Dottie's gone and I broke Corey
He tried to reassure me he wasn't broken, and that I made the right decision about the apartment, and maybe Dottie will be happier without the boys beating her up all the time. I asked him to just let me cry, and he said it is good to get it all out, and he rubbed my back some more. He's been very good about all this.

Later, I gave him a Blue Emu massage. I hope he isn't in too much pain today.
The office chair is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I f'ing hope it's not too heavy. He's concerned that having the desk and chair here will drive up our moving costs, but I already told the guy from the moving company that they would be here in boxes, and I thought the desk would be heavy, so I'm not concerned about that.

Buddy didn't come out until after dinner, and when he did, he was weary of me. He was under the bed both times I dragged Dottie out, and I'm sure he's noticed her absence. But he warmed back up to me pretty quickly. Now he's glued to me. He was doing some loud crying this morning tho. He must be missing her


I'm getting my nails done at 12:30. I'm not happy about the time, but Judy wanted to reschedule my appointment from earlier in the week because of the snow. I will be near a U-Haul store, so I will buy some boxes when I'm done.

Yesterday, I packed up the rest of the closet, and I have 2 big bags of clothes to donate. I suppose I will just go around the apartment throwing s- away when I get home today because I don't know what to pack next. It seems like we're still using everything. I have to calm down and come up with a plan of some sort because we're moving in a week, but I feel lost right now.

Corey still hasn't throw anything out. I will tell him if he hasn't thrown anything out by Monday, I'm hiring a junk removal company.

Good idea about the junk removal company if nothing thrown away
by Monday, but I think I'd be a little more specific than just nothing,
He might think throwing one or two things away is enough.

Hehee, I know quite a few that would. One being a son of mine.
Dan would say, well you said, if nothing was gone and something
is.

Sorry just had to tell you that. I'm laughing thinking of how Dan
would say it too.

Kay, I think you need to at least every once in a while call and
see how Dottie is doing. It also may be that some of the volunteers
and staff will love her to pieces and take an instant liking to her
and really just be there also for her. And that would also make you
feel good. I'm so glad the girl was so gentle for lack of a better word.

Buddy is being even more affectionate than usual. He really is glued to me. I don't know how much of it is HE needs it, or he knows I need it. Rocky seems unfazed.

The timing of my manicure really f'ed things up for me yesterday. I knew there wouldn't be enough time for me to get anything done because it was right smack in the middle of the day. My nails came out beautiful tho (pink), and of course, it was great to see Judy

I never got boxes. I had to go get MJ because I was completely out. Then Corey called to tell me he was home and hungry, so I went and picked up crappy drive-thru food and just went home. By the time I got home it was 3, and I was ready for a nap, so I never got any packing done either.

The things I need Corey to take out are all big/big-ish things: 2 cat condos, an old 19" tube TV, a light crappy computer desk, a computer chair, and 2 end tables, one of which is pretty f'ing big. You can see why I'm getting nervous that he hasn't thrown anything out yet and we are moving in a week.

I want to get a lot done today...

I need to go grocery shopping. Part of my plan to save money is to start going to the cheaper grocery store, but I can't bear the thought of going there on a Saturday because it will be absolutely f'ing ridiculous. I will have to start going there early on weekday mornings when the crowds are bearable. I will go to my regular grocery store today tho. I can't deal with that store today.

I'm going to have Corey throw the two bags of clothes we're donating in my trunk so that I can drop them off in the box at the dry cleaner's on the way to the store. It will be good to get them out of the way.

When I get home, I'm going to pack up all the shoes, etc in the hall closet. Then I'll start throwing s- out and organizing things for pre-packing. I'll start with my cleaning products... nobody needs that many cleaning products!!!

I would like to go buy boxes, but I don't need them today, and I'm planning on going to that area tomorrow to buy a bunch of s- at different stores. So, it makes sense just to wait to do that.
