Is it harder physically or...

My little foster kitty's new mama wrote and told me that after about a day of hissing, growling and hiding under the sofa, little Diego came out and became really lovable. He has a little kitty friend about the same age. Sounds...

My three foster kittens have been big enough to get spayed/neutered for a bit now, only reason they haven't is that they got sick and so we had to wait. Now two out of the three are well enough, so next week I will make an...

I do believe in unconditional love! I did not know the meaning of it until I had my son. Now that I experienced it I find it difficult to understand why certain parents fail to love their children unconditionally. Those of you who...

The girls and I have been volunteering at a no kill cat rescue on Saturdays. There are often kittens that need a foster home and the girls have been pestering me about fostering. I keep telling them to go and ask and they finally...

I don't think I ever would do this to my children. Although I was in a home, and it did change me for the better. I just prefer to raise my kids myself. My parents had no choice though I was court ordered. It was a home or boot...
