I knew I LOVED YOU before I met You!

I am a homebody. My life’s routine are mainly work, home, take care of my mom, stand by my better-half, cuddle with my cat, pray to keep my breast cancer at bay, sleep and repeat. Other than from my native country, I have not traveled outside the USA but someday, somehow would really love to see The Vatican.

…then life unravels yet another wind of change—I lost my Dearest Mother. I had to see a grief counselor for the first time ever. One of her advice to try to move on from my loss, no matter how painfully hard and slowly I go was to do things I love…so though I am not really that social, I did start being active again at my social media accounts, mostly at my Instagram.

I was also watching the KSNV news one day, when they featured The Las Vegas Farm, Barn Buddies Rescue where you can go see and feed the all rescued animals. One thing about me is that I LOVE ANIMALS especially Cats. I did do volunteer work in California years back but not here…so it’s absolutely a sign for me to go…

The sun’s shining, crispness in the air as I approached The Farm’s entrance when surprisingly, I got greeted bay a CAT! My heart immediately warmed-up, filled with love, happiness and joy!

You had me at MEOW

I KNEW I LOVED YOU BEFORE I MET YOU: The moment I’m grateful for the most is when God planned that your path is destined to cross mine! Full video @YouTube link https://www.youtube.com/shorts/htXWxNNiCI8 and more videos @TikTok, @Instagram @TuffCatnet / FindingNirvana.net

Among the things I thank God for most, is the love He gave me for animals. My heart would be emptier, and life would be less without them.

To Love an ANIMAL RESCUER

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

  • Across the Web/E-mail forwards…

“To love a #rescuer you must love all of her. You must love the scars covering her body from panicked and hurt animals she was trying to help. You must love her fractured heart, that has been broken so many times she no longer even takes the time to mend the pieces.

To love a rescuer, you must embrace her grit and determination, and know that although she fights a war she can never win, she can and does win a few battles. You must love the tears she will shed over those she lost. You must give her comfort that she refuses to accept, as she blames herself for things she could have never foreseen.

To love a rescuer you must acknowledge the rage she feels towards the world at times, and know that anger is driven by a love of life too few have. You must give her space and room to cry and mourn for the losses that others have caused out of carelessness or cruelty.

To love a rescuer you must understand her passion to heal and save is a calling, not a choice. You must accept that to save animals is part of her soul and without that she could never be happy.

To love a rescuer you must be patient. You must accept her work comes first. She will forgo sleep, forgo food, forgo her life for animals in need. She will work tirelessly until her body and mind fail her completely and she cannot go on.

To Love a rescuer, you must be strong. You must not be threatened by her focus and love of animals. You must accept that the things you love about her, the strength and convictions and loyalty are also what drives her sense of duty to animals in need; you cannot have one without the other.

To love a rescuer you must never ask her to choose, because she will, and it will not be you. “

Thank you to whomever wrote this. ❤️

"Trap-neuter-return (TNR) is a program through which free-roaming community cats (not belonging to particular humans)  are humanely trapped; sterilized and medically treated; and returned to the outdoor locations where they were found. If those locations are deemed unsafe or otherwise inappropriate, feral cats (unsocialized to humans) are relocated to farmyard homes. Kittens still young enough to be socialized, and friendly adult cats, are typically placed in foster care for eventual adoption into homes as companion animals, rather than returned to the outdoors." ~ Source: Wikipedia.com

PET’s Ten COMMANDMENTS

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

For all pet owners--

PET’s Ten COMMANDMENTS

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful..

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don’t be angry with me for too long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, or I stayed up all night protecting you, or I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak. Maybe my bones just hurt.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old. No one wants to be dismissed.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so much.

Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much less joyful experience without God’s critters.

Let us always strive to be the reason why someone sees hope and a reason to live. If you can’t accept/respect them, then at least don’t be the reason of their pain. Always choose kindness to all! 🙏
