Helen Miles - 12 Nov 2006 15:34 GMT

Hi folks,

After some *Very* careful consideration and a long discussion with the
RSPCA staff at the shelter, I've decided not to adopt Lassie. She is
apparently unreliable with cats and as much as I would love to rescue
her, I am not prepared to take the risk with the resident mogs in the
house. There is also the consideration that I am out of the house 9-5
Monday to Friday, and the person who looks after Bonnie (my gran) can't
actually cope with 2 dogs. She has difficulty with Bonnie, and Bonnie is
actually her registered assistance dog.

So, sadly my head must rule my heart. :o(

You tried - but you are one of the few that use their heads as much as their
hearts. I commend you for that! You evaluated what would be best for all
members in your household, not just what you "felt" like doing!

Purrs for lassie to find a loving home with someone as understanding as
yourself!

That's sad, but definitely for the best for your resident furry people.
Purrs that Lassie finds an understanding and loving home.

Your heart is judging things for you too. Your heart says you can't do this
to gran or to the mogs.

And it wouldn't be kind to Lassie since it wouldn't likely work out well for
her. Sounds like the old girl could use more one on one or two attention.

Helen you have done what is best for everyone. Purrs for Lassie to
find an appropriate home.

When we took in Smokey we made alternate arrangements for another home
(as a barn cat) if it turned out that Smokey 1. harmed or threatened to
harm Nox 2. had FIV/FLV or 3. was destructive or otherwise couldn't
adjust to life in a high-rise. Of course I wanted him but I realized
that bringing a cat from the wild, who had been living on rabbits and
seagulls, into the heart of the city was a gamble.

Lassie needs another kind of home. Bright Blessings for her and you.

And just how long did it take for you to realise Smokey was more likely
to be harmed or threatened by Nox?!
