Arrival Story: Lucy was found on a Friday night in a garbage can in Alpharetta, in a trash bag with 4 of her siblings. One was already dead. I heard about her Monday morning from my co-worker (who had nursed her over the weekend)-at lunch they brought the puppy over to work - I took her home for my husband to see. I had helped my sweet Skitzee to the bridge over the holidays and we thought that maybe it was now time for a dog. We decided to do a "trial period" of 1 week - to make sure she didn't eat the 2 resident house cats. Well, day 1 - off to Petsmart, day 2 - more Petsmart. We were pretty sure she was never going anywhere at this point. She was absolutely adorable and sweet and our little kitty Zoe thought she was terrific! She was smaller than Zoe when she first came to live with us so Zoe thought she was for her!
Bio: Hi - my name is Lucy. I was rescued and den dis really nice guy and his furmily took care of me...he helped me to find my mom! They did kitty rescue - and da ladee who helped dem wit it asked if dey would take care of me for awhile. Mister Justin told my mom to be about me and his wife Miss Heidi and their bairn Hunter brought me to meet her. Mom fell in love with me (who couldn't!) and took me to my furever home. Thank you Mister Justin for getting me to my mom and dad!!!
Now I lives with 2 kitties in the house, and lots of outside kitties. Three of them live in our basement/outside. Then the neighbors have kitties too!!! Oh, i loooooves kitties!!! 'Cept when they get that sneaky look! Oh, then i know i has to get by quick or they will pop me in the butt with their claws! BOL!

Things are getting more normal around here again. Mom had a good interview for a jobbie at the vets around the corner from us....so she doesn't smell so upset anymore. I am sending all the good thinks i can muster for her!
Today we emptied the swimmin pool and cleaned it. Then came my most favoritest thing about the pool....THE HOSE!!! YES!!! BRING IT ON MOM!!!! I LOOOOOVE that hose!!! I helped mom to fill the pool back up! Yup! And then we watered some plants and i helped with that too! I was smilin and mom was laffin at me!!! She says i am such a silly!!! She says i get this googly whirly look in my eyes and just grin as i run thru the hose!!! It was lots of fun!!! I wish i could play with the hose ALL the time!! Every day!!! All day!!! Mom says that if i did the water police would come and take her away. Oh well!!! It was still fun!!!
Tomorrow me and mom are going to go visit my bud Miss Toby. Mom says she'll take coffee so she can finish waking up, while we 2 girls get our crazy on! It is going to be a wonderful day!!!
Well...mom is now unemployed. Yup. She is freaking out a bit...and now a good friend of hers just lost her job too. Mom got to thinking maybe there is something all of us dogsters and catsters with financial difficulty can do for each other. And we know that the difficulties just don't come when your pawrents are unemployed. All kinds of things can happen to make things tight. She got on Catster looking for a group that addressed this. She didn't find it, so i talked her into creating one.
Enter.... Haven for the Economically Challenged
(mom doesn't know how to make linkees...sorry! if you can't find it mom will send you an official invite with the linkee)
We have created this site for a few reasons.
First of all this is one of mom's happy places. She feels safe and loved and valued here. And in turn she values the experiences and knowledge of others here.
Secondly she is convinced that if we band together (Crazy DogLadies and Doggie Daddies of the world UNITE!!!) and share our information we can help each other.
Thirdly she knows how alienating it can be to be unemployed. Or employed or retired and just short of cash. Sure everyone understands, but suddenly - where you were once out in the world, now the world has shrunk to the size of your computer. You feel alone. You feel like there is something wrong with you. People understand, but do they REALLY feel you? Emotional support is necessary - even just a place to vent and get the bad juju off your chest. Just let it all hang out. Helping others has the benefit of also helping yourself.
A Fourth - it would be nice to have one place where all the deals and whatnot can be found - rather then having to search all over the innerwebs.
We are hoping that this group will be a big success. She is hoping that we can help to make the load a little lighter, inspire ingenuity, nurture hope and spread the love.
mom took a whole day off from the place she goes to almost efurryday to spend a day with me!!! we went for a ride in the car....then we had cheezburgers at mickie d's, then more ridin and then.....WOW!!! woods!!! water!!!! i remember this place!!!!
we went for a long hike at the red top mountain (the same place my bff toby and her mamma go hiking!). it took a little while but mom found our spot where there used to be an island in the waters you could get to by walking on a sandbar where it wasn't too deep....but now!!! BOL!!! we have had so many rains here that the lake is back to depth (i think) and all you can see is the two lone trees on the island! and a little bit of the sandybar around it but that's all underwater! still...i played inn the water and even swum a little bit...mom was feeling a bit freaked out acuz the waters weren't lookinng like glasses of water and if she steps in gushies she totally freaks out....she also freaks out if she hits a cold spot acuz she thinks somethin bad is gonna happenn....i told her i would be there to protect her but she just couldn't shake it....she told me she was sorry and that we wouuld try again. its not like she doesn't know how to swim...she can! she is just getting out of practice for doing sillies, thats all!!
