Confessions of an animal lover

I never thought it would be part of who I am so much but it is, loving animals, helping them and making a connection between the animal world and the human world.
Let me tell you what happened while I was in Miami Florida. Yeah I took a lil trip to the south and it was my first time. I did not know the weather was not going to be sunshine all the time so that was disappointing but it was still a magical trip.

Not only did I get to meet up with two friends while down there and a whole lot of stuff that well will remain with me for the rest of my life but something I was not expecting happened and yet it was not a total surprise for me.

On one of the days where the sunshine said peek a boo I decided to go for a walk on the boardwalk. I took some pictures and saw there was a black kitty at the beach, in the sand chasing something. So as I went down for a closer shot this black kitty instead of running away from me, came right to me.

So I began to pet her and play with her and wow was she friendly. I thought she belonged to someone on the boardwalk but this family that was close mentioned how they have seen her before. SO I strike up a conversation with the family and say "take her home then" they say, in stereo "we're form Jersey!" I laugh and say "so am I"

After a bit of talking, I head off to the nearest store to get cat food and a box. See the mom was in love with the kitty and she was going to take her home, but it was their last day on vacation cause the next day off to Jersey. SO what do I propose? she needs a vet, she needs food, she needs to be held in the hotel. A duffel bag later, me coughing like a maniac through the hotel lobby so they don't hear this kitty meow, in she goes. She does well, and I am feeling a bit nervous about all of it but heck already deep in the situation so I go with it.

The next day kitty in bag again, and I hail a cab to meet with the woman ,she hands me money and off I go to the vet. 5 hrs of checking for things, she does not have a micro chip, has fleas and a slur of otehr things, she gets her vaccines and I make calls to the airline. 6 hrs later, miss Lola (named after me) meets up with her new family and is off on a plane to NJ.

So having to go down 8 flights of stairs, waiting hours ina the vet, and not eating all day was totally worth it!

Here is Lola...







I hope she is happy and full of joy. I know the family absolutely loves her and will give her all the love and care she deserves. SO to many years of joy for all involved!

Love,
Lola
