Nothing to do with rescues, but when my ex and I had our own business we had an extension in the bedroom. You would not believe the number of drunk people that decided at 3 am they suddenly needed a bike license.  :censored:

Did get our own back though :evillaugh:, having to get up at 6 to sort out kids and the business of the day, the first thing I would do was to call them back, strangely enough, they suddenly had changed their minds. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That last one brought tears to my eyes. :'( Horrible to think of it, I can't imagine not looking after my animals throughout their lifetimes.

Especially the one about giving any new rescue pet (and any existing pets in the family) time to adjust.  I shudder when I think how close we came to taking the Gurlies back to WA and it would have been such a mistake.  In our case, we had nothing against which to benchmark our progress, and didn't realise that we weren't doing as badly as we feared.   I don't think we'd bled that much in years and years.   :-:

Those little scraps are so happy now in their own ways, I can't bear to think they may have been split up, or that one of them may have been deemed harder to home than the other.  We were far luckier than we deserved, and I'm so thankful for that.    You and your colleagues at WA do an amazing job, as do volunteers in rescues up and down the country, including wor Sheila.   :shy:
