I had to carry through with euthanizing one of the dogs I care for. I was accepting that the best turned around, was so untrusting, & trained dog, with years long Hospice, was suffering too much, but still a little sad, as all can imagine.

If that was not bad enough, then one of the cats I care for, & I was the only person he care for, suddenly in four days died, two-days before euthanizing the dog. Cat 1st showed worrying signs on Sat. morning or late Friday. Started years before that in protest of I walking him outside, expanding his world & getting him to use the bathroom <sweetest cat- never bit, only scratched once, anyone & etc., except only twice outside lizards> his whole body would go numb/dragged. The so dependent upon me (med., cleaning-up his blood & pee-poop on the floors & only attention. He never stopped dragging his back legs, even to drink water (with Hyperthyroid he drank unbelievable amount of water) & slowly & never reversing going number & number. I syringe fed him, after he refused to drink & eat (even from my hand), Sunday. Even though there was little hope he was not going to be euthanized, I called our Vet., hoping against hope that there might be a way for him to get back to normal & setup a Tuesday App… The only available Vet. (happens to be the owner, & because of another Vet. terrible app. 1st option only) available for that day was suddenly got sick & called-out for the entire week. I had to reschedule the Vet. app. for the next day, the day before euthanizing App. for one of the dogs we cared for. With all I was dealing with, after digging the burial site (on our property, already dug the burial site for the dog month ago) for the cat, I took a few evening hrs. break. The cat died, by himself, within the two-Hrs. break, Tues. night.

The vacationing visitors are spoiled, wealthy (thanks to father’s parent’s early on financial support), father & son super smart, by all schools’ definitions, & thus, does not have to improve themselves, a lot more then us, though living next to Seattle, Washington; so I do not get along with the father, ?mentally ill? mother- has not been back for ages & son) came to spend a week in our home. Public (like around friends & family, & at a restaurant) arguments happened with HS Freshman & seriously studying to be a chef son. He kept going without any wiggle room that he is wrong, shallowly & ignorantly (some should know how out of box, but factually & intersectionally I go) into my serious topics of Veganism, Food & Labelling Dates (used DuckDuckGo & USDA, FDA & Universities for Cooking & Consumer Protections), politics & fighting economic & governmental inequality & injustice. To back-up that I was right, read right from the websites & offered the websites’ URLs to him, he rejected all/?like Far Right?.

Had Jury Duty, 5-days later, rescheduled so could protest, only protester, the local rodeo, but never expected to deal with cat’s quickly dying & the same day vacationing visitors.
