4 years later

Katrina swept through the Gulf 4 years ago. I remember coming to Baton Rouge with Gabby. We were met with people from all over the country. Some displaced by Katrina and just wanting to help. Many, many others from every conceivable walk of life, giving their time to help the animals in the aftermath.

I met the most amazing people. I met my dear Becky Gainey. She was my sanity. Which is funny cuz she's a little nutz herself. I love you Becky!

I got my Monkey out of the deal. What a gift. I adore my boy!

Another amazing gift I received while there was the spark to do more for animals. I wasn't doing TNR, I had really no idea where I'd be 4 years later.

I remember seeing vehicles with out of state plates with "animal rescue" written on the back windows in poster paint. Some of those people slept in their trucks and cars. I remember feeling such complete admiration for those people. I never thought I'd count myself among them. I do now. I love my life. I love what I do. I am the luckiest girl in the world. Blessed to do what I want. My own life sturdy and strong so I can help cats. IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!
