    Well my Dearest TDK Family…the count-down is beginning. I did the best I know how & worked the hardest I’ve ever worked to save what I had & what my beloved Chuck cherished. But life is what it is. I will be talking w/my vet about taking my furbabies & helping them over the bridge since I won’t be able to take them w/me. I won’t surrender them to the animal shelter here. They euthanize as every other shelter does when overcrowded & they are very small & w/very little space. Their meds are also much different than the vets. They paralize the animal & the animal lays in fear,unable to move till their hearts stop,which can take hours. I can’t live w/that thought,not even for a second. All my babies are now adult or elderly & almost impossible to home. They’ve only known me as their caregiver. It will be the very last thing I do b4 leaving & the most tramatic thing of my life that I’ve ever had to do. I just need your Prayers that it doesn’t destroy me emotionally.
    I wish there was some other way. Luv You All! Susie >^..^<

    Susie… 🙁 I can’t stop crying here!! Is there anyway the vet can maybe help.. Maybe to board them for a couple of weeks until you can find somewhere where you can all stay together? This is so unfair!! I wish I was beside you right now ! I would just take you and your furry babies home with me..

    Same here and agree, Buttons. Susie, I truly hope that the vet can provide some workable options. In the meantime sadly all that I can send for now are {{{hugs}}}.

    Thank You all for your hugs & prayers. Suggestions for boarding are simply out of the question. Living in California,everything comes with a steep price. The same vet owns all the offices in our town(3 or 4 of them). All rules apply across the board. He charges an arm,leg & torso for boarding. If I had that kind of money I wouldn’t need to move. If it weren’t for my partner(God rest his soul) & myself trusting one leanne lebare to write up a new will for us,I also wouldn’t be losing everything. She said she was looking out for us & yet the 1 most important key was overlooked by her. The life ins.policy itself should’ve been listed in the will alongside the house,truck,etc. to be inherited by me. I question it as just being an oversight on her part. Anyways…I hope putting her name out there doesn’t land me in trouble. What I’ve said is the truth. She was a friend of mine for 25 yrs. Friend no more.
    I have 1 last chance to try & sell my partner’s tools & all today. If it doesn’t pan out…Salvation army will be getting it all & I’ll be homeless & will probably lose my disability since I’ll have no address anymore. I’ll lose all my kits & I’ll literally have no reason to wake up each morning. Isn’t life grand?

    Susie, truly sorry that it has come to this. I did PM you, hope you got the msg. I hope that something last minute comes through, but I’ll agree that a lot of the time life just plain sucks.

    Susie, this stinks, and my heart is broken for you and your fur babies. I do need to mention, though, that when I was having my will made, my lawyer at the time said that life insurance is completely separate from wills. The owner of the policy specifies the beneficiaries. If the policy owner did not name you as a beneficiary, there is nothing that could be done in a will to reverse that.

    Again, this really stinks. I wish I had something comforting to say, other than that I love you and the furballs.

    Susie, shared your situation on TDK fb. Comment from:
    Necole Catherine Hopkins posted What about that Underground Kitty Railroad network? If we could find the kitties homes then they could transport/foster/adopt.
    (Anyone have link for this organization that may help you?)
