county shelter has been flooded with mamas and babies, whole litters of kittens, adult cats, not to mention many, many dogs. They have already put down 6 dogs this summer for lack of space. It is heartbreaking--sweet dogs that would make great companions for someone. Fortunately, we've been able to find rescues for the cats, but it's not easy. Everyone is full and the adoption rate is down. Many people who adopted pets during the pandemic are now finding they "don't have time" for a dog or cat anymore, or they adopted a pet and didn't get it sp/neutered and now they've got a pregnant cat. Sorry, I got started and couldn't stop. I know I'm preaching to the choir!!! Hope your kitties get better soon.
I'm now reading Louise Erdrich's latest book, The Sentence. Her stories always mesmerize and her writing style is so fluid that I feel like I've been transported directly into her books. I have to pace myself.
It is so dang hot and dry, here in N. GA, this summer that it's not hard to stay inside and read.
Take care, friends.
