Life of the Sev's: Sometimes life isn't easy!

Yesterday was one of those days where reality set in that life has definitely changed for us since my mom has passed. My mom was a SAHM and spent most of her days at home caring for the animals and taking care of the household. With my step dad being a truck driver, he spends 75% or more of his time on the road. He would hire an older lady to drive to his home to care for the cats but often times he would come home to cat urine on his floors and the animals not taken care of. He called me many time upset over this so I decided to do something about it.

My sister has a large dog and I remember my mom saying our cat Pookie would not be a fit over there because of her age. Brandon is very allergic to cats and I know Mason and Rocco would terrorize an older cat so here was not an option either. After calling around I finally decided to contact one of my mom's best friends. She rescues dogs and knows a large community of people in Midland who rescue and foster.

I met a wonderful lady named Sarah who was willing to take both Pookie and Cuddles. She thinks Pookie will end up living out the rest of her life with her (Pookie is 20!) so that made me feel great. Cuddles is young and gorgeous and she said she should be adopted very soon.

Yesterday I drove up to Tom's house to take the cats to Sarah. It was not a good experience let me tell ya. There were a lot of tears from everybody and it was just another loss for our family. Sometimes it's very frustrating having to make these family decisions at such a young age. I have to remember that right thing to do is sometimes the hardest thing to do. These experiences have definitely made me stronger though that is for sure. On a happy note I got to spend time with Mandi, Kyle, Landon, Tom and his mom which was great! I love that I am able to help out more now. Here is a picture of the kitties! I will let you know any updates I hear on them once they are adopted. Have a great week everyone!
