Pet Adoption

When I check out shelters I try to start with the ones where the animals have the most to lose , their lives the shelters that are required to put the animals to sleep after a period of time if not adopted. Then I check out the shelters that have animals that need adoption and do not put the animals to sleep if not adopted the “ no kill “ shelters .

Good girl! Bravo!!!!!!!!!! I have 3 adopted cats and am in the process of adopting the 4th one. Bravo for all you've written here.

I apologize. My mistake. It's been a while since I was here. Forgive me? Please.

For sure . I always enjoy corresponding with you . In the past we also had pleasant exchanges about animals and other things.🐱😊.

Definitely. Thank you. I also love corresponding with you and all your posts. I wish more people would give and find comfort to /in rescue pets. There is no better friend or a therapist than a cat, a dog,.. that you spend quality time with. They appreciate it so much and the love and support they give back is enormous and precious. I hope your ocd is somewhere on a vacation. Mine was quite obedient for a while there. Then I was put on additional meds and it just got worse. Today I did not take the extra pill and it seems to be a bit better again. What is the time where you come from? Here it is 8:38p.m. Almost time for bed. 😊

I am on the East Coast of USA it is 245 pm .

Are you in Europe?

Yes. I am in Europe.

Nice. I hope you make it to Europe. Which countries would you like to visit? UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, probably. Some other as well? It's now 11p.m here and I should really push myself to go to bed. Don't know what I'm still doing up. 😊

I am planning one trip to UK for a huge music fest . And a separate trip touring through Germany and surrounding areas . I am hoping to make it at a minimum at least one of the two for 2024 . Cat 🐈 paws crossed for luck, LOL !

Good luck. I'm sure you'll make it. Good for you. One of my cats actually crosses her paws. She's so funny. Looks like an old heavy thinking guy. 🥴😊. So sweet. I'll tell her to think of you while she does that. I am sure keeping my fingers crossed for you. 😊

Thanks the one trip I had did much planning on the past a few years ago and I could not pull it all together at the end to go it was for Bloodstock Festival that they have each August in the UK . I am traveling solo and never been to Europe so all and all I was skeptical and flaked out from going . Received refunds for airfare and hotel but not the festival tickets.

Sorry to hear that. I hope 2024 will be your year and all will work out great. Bloodstock is heavy metal festival, right? I am cool with it. I am just more into old rock and hard rock: Led Zeppelin, Deep purple, Pink Floyd, CCR, Bob Seger, Dire Straits,.... Who do you like? I wish I lived in the UK. So many concerts and festivals there each year. I think it is kind of easier to travel solo to Europe than to the USA. Well, one has to be careful and smart in any case. I love doing things on my own. But I only feel ok on my own in 3 countries in Europe. All are more to the south. I do believe England is ok as well. I've only been to London. But it was with 40 other people. I think it's best to travel in a pair or 3 together or 2 couples. It's intimate enough, you still get to be independent. I do believe you will be perfectly fine in the UK and Germany travelling solo. You can add to the list also Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Belgium, Schweiz,... . Would be a bit more careful with Italy, Spain,... That is just my opinion from what I've heard. I do hope you make it. Europe is nice.

Thanks for the feedback. Even though that I am a guy I want to stay as healthy and safe as possible and traveling solo makes it easier in some ways but more challenging with other things . I am not a big fan of flying is another thing . I like many bands to include Pink Floyd, Megadeth, , Slayer , Blue Oyster Cult, Benediction , MGLA , Agalloch and many others . Bloodstock is primarily a Metal Festival.

I am planning bucket list Europe trip , so I have been keeping track of the five and six hour time differences on my world clock on my phone for a few of the countries there .
