Kirsten just want you to know that I am concerned for you and I understand how scarey all this change can be for you and many others.

My understanding was Germany once had what I would class as too good to be true, where unemployment was concerned, I once saw a documentary on it a few years back, it was a shocking, however, I then thought to myself no country could sustain this kind of system.

Its unfortunate that they could not have seen that and made adjustments then.

Even if Germany is much better off than most countries, I guess that does not really help you feel safe and secure, and besides its what you are used to, and any change in lifestyle is hard no matter what the cirumstances.

I can only wish you well dear Kirsten, and that your health will continue to improve and good luck for finding a suitable job to your needs.

Yes it is very scarey to think people would consider giving away their pets, Unlike you and me and others here , we would fight to the end to keep our pets, and do without food in our belly's to keep them , that I am sure of.
