I think you just might have that baby tonite/today. You and I and Kay and I all agreeing on the same subject - something's GOT TO happen!

please take that in the context I mean it also - lighthearted- I do wish you well tho! Goodluck baby!

LOL You might be right! I've already been to the hospital once tonight, contractions weren't super regular. Now they are about 5 minutes apart and lasting between 90 sec to 3 minutes each. I just took an Ambient though so now I'm pretty loopy...and I mean loopy! Hoping I can get a little sleep before I go back to the hospital, which is tomorrow morning.

Like others, I also am curious as to why this fund is being set up. Just last week Bri wanted to add another pet to the house, why keep adding more pets when you can't care for the ones that you have. I know that you have had Lily around for a while, it's been well over a year. Why did you get another cat when you already couldn't afford to spay Lily, a dog which you already owned and have made a commitment to? Now I do realize that what's done is done, you have these pets and now they must be cared for. They need to get their shots and they need to fixed before the problem escalates. My main concern is that you still want more pets. The other thing that bugs me is this comment that was made just a few days ago when someone expressed concern about you getting another pet.

Because I can get my pets spayed this summer with my summer job? And I can let my mom get me the bird, and then after my pets are spayed the rest of my money can go towards the bird..

Why are you asking for donations if you will be getting a job in a few weeks once the school year ends?

LOOK! Someone who is 14 years old is gonna want a bird without necessarily getting one...might think that her summer job will pay the $730 before one cat is kicked out...please remember Bri's age!

Several of us have worked our a***** off to get this set up! DON'T donate if you don't want to - but for GOD'S sake, if you have something negative to say, SHUT UP!

Do you think the several of us who are setting this up have NO brains whatsoever???? Or the vets?

There are people on Pet Talk with two regular jobs in the household who STILL find they need $$ help for their pets' care. So tell me again why you are picking on an underemployed single-parent family?

End of rant.

She's not picking on the family. She's upset that others are ENABLING them. All that will happen is that Bri, who even at 14 knows what is right and what is wrong, will bring in more pets. She even asked if it will be a PERMANENT or TEMPORARY fund.

Hello.... do you see that a pattern may set in?

Not to be witchy, but maybe they should move in with a really wealthy PetTalker and then they can all be taken care of.

Sarcasm there.

I'm just really annoyed by IRRESPONSIBLE pet owners.

I teach kids, so I do know that by Bri's age, they know what they are doing, and they know right from wrong. Unless Bri has a learning disability, then there is no excuse for her behavior. Go to a public school, talk with some 14yr olds, you'll be surprised how mature they really are.

Some people are just really good at taking advantage of a good situation, and enablers just let it keep happening.

So yea, let's just neuter, spay, get shots and all that for all her pets. For life. Why not.

End of my rant.
