I must be the words worst Mommy to all my pets, I do such bad things to them.... I take them to the best vet/vets in Seattle. I have taken a vacation that would require even one night away from home in the last five years because I don't want to board my pets or bring in someone that don't know to take care of them. I will set for hours not moving so that one of my cats or fuzzies can sleep in my lap. I clean litter 6 litter boxes no less than 2 times daily. I have never given abandoned an animal, I've even picked up a few and taken them home from the middle of the road at mid-night because they were hurt. I've missed work to take a sick animal to the vet and then stay home with them. I've held my cats in my arms and cried when I had to have them put to sleep, one because of a stroke and the other because of heart failure. I must be the meanest Mommy in the world. Still crying because of those that don't know me and all my fuzzies, long legged and short.
