smile on...
Wed May 27 2009

but not really today. today, i'm tired. i don't want to go in... because sometimes, it's just too hard...to see the 16 story hi-rise kitty with 2 broken legs and heartless owner. it's too tough to watch the dog that's been trying to die for days...

i can't today.

but there is no free pass. there are no excuses for calling out. so, i hold onto the last few seconds before i need to head to the shower, get my gear together and head for the door.

it's not stubborness. it is not the new york cityness. sometimes, there is just nothing to smile about.

i plug in, tune out, and hope to get through another day.

    I've just agreed to foster a 20 year old cat with a liver tumor whose owner didn't want it back after it slipped out the door. She thought it had gone outside to die, and was apparently relieved. How can you own a cat for 20 years and do that?

    It's hard, but every pet deserves someone to shed a tear when it has lived out its life. We owe them that much. As unbearable as it is a times, you live a life of honnor.
