I don't know about any of the meds but the talking stuff sounds good. I'm sure it will be hard but in the end, it might help create a major change. Maybe to start, you could write what you want to say and then read it out loud and hopefully it will get a bit easier as you go along. I hope it all goes well.

There always seems to be a shortage of petsitters wherever I live. Once people find a good petsitter, they never want to let them go! Could make some extra money with that. I have a friend who petsits but does it at her home. I think she charges something like 16.00 per 24 hours for dogs and a bit less for cats. She has two rooms with nothing in them except large dog crates for bed time. The rest of the time she lets them hang out in the house and yard. You could maybe do it with just cats though. Could be tough with the ones you've already got though. I know I couldn't do it right now but maybe in the future. I even thought how neat it would be to open a cat boarding place and make it so cozy for the cats. I was thinking how I could send the pet owners email updates so they could read how their pets were getting along while they were on vacation. My friend and I do this for each other when we take care of each other's pets.
