Kitten is ok...and I am finished - Update links added by request

[Laura's Babies]

I agree with Jen 100%. Time will tell what He has in the plan for you.

Sorry to kvetch a bit - I am up early. My eyes are puffy. I feel like I have been through a breakup.

In a way, I guess I have. Amicable, but still emotionally hard.

Loss of a beloved job...yup.

I KNOW God has something else in mind. I KNOW that.

I just feel tired and hurt and calm all at the same time.

Going in tomorrow (Friday) to get my final papers and pay.

Will be glad when that is over.

Those dear dear kitties - all of them. Apache, the hammock writher("Conniption Kitty"); Cartman with no lips(can't see them from the front!), Cartwheel, Cartperson; Lizzie who is 23 and sweet; Ellie the tiny Tonk who hid in her house for two days and now begs for tummy rubs and hugs!; Bonnie and Clyde, two Meezer Mixes - Clyde is goofy and Bonnie is a diva!; Rusty the gravity-challenged orangie...and more. Even most of the hissy and scared ones come around after a day or two, and it is so nice to be part of it.

I will miss this so much...

Catty1, I am so sorry that this mistake had to come to your no longer working there. I would agree with the others that there is something else out ther for you, and only HE knows what that is. Be glad that you were able to give those furbabies the luvvins that you did! They knew how much you cared for them, and the owners know also!

Give your babies (and any others you can get your hands on without getting into trouble!) all the extra luvvins you can! That may help some.

Sounds like you have a great outlook about it all, although I know you are upset.

I hope that the other job can become full-time soon.

Oh dear, I feel so sorry for you.... . I will pray that you may find a new great job, asap!!! Chin up, honey, feel free to pm me or post about it on PT. Well love you here!

ps.I know you agree with your boss (ex-boss); but in my opinion this one-time-event is not a reason to fire you right away. How about second chances? Who says this will happen again? I am sure it won't as you are a warned person now!!

I agree with Maya and Inka's mommy. We learn by making mistakes, but perhaps the owners had never had a situation like that before. I'm surprised, that you would need to leave windows open, too. Just my opinion.

But the fact that you are reconciling it might mean that you are ready to move on. One chapter closes and another begins. WE are where we need to be for that moment, and you'll find the right door to go through.

Love that quote. Been doin' some changin' of my own.

I was sorry to hear your news - these things do happen for a reason although at the time it is hard to see what it might be

[Catty1]

mrspunkysmom - we had a heat wave(+30C, over 80F), and although there is an air exchange system in the building, with an a/e vent in each cat room, there is no air conditioning.

I was going to be working upstairs, and it would be warm...so I opened the window to several inches. to get a better breeze coming in (nice and cool and fragrant over the lilac bushes outside).

We'd had the window open the day before...but it is not to be opened more than an inch. I ought to have been more careful...after all, a new cat had just bounded up to the window before, and I closed it! And with no screens - you think I would have twigged to not open it more than the required inch.

But anyway...if the kitten had not come back, it would have been a huge blow to the business...the customers are NEW, from overseas, as are the two kittens. Regular customers might have forgiven us - these people might have sued, and the kennel is up for sale. The kennel has been operating for some 6 years, and this has not happened before.

They just can't take a chance - and if I went back, none of us would be at ease like we were before. A second chance would be hard on me...because it would be exactly that!

Anyway, I understand it, and am okay with it, though I have been upset.

Thanks...
