That's so wonderful to hear about the animals that visit the nursing centre residents; I'll bet they're a big hit. Funny you mention a squirrel, my son's friend has spent the last 3 days trying to extricate one stuck in his dashboard! Poor thing must be frightened.

He's a bachelor with everything still intact. To say his lot in life has improved immensely is an understatement. He has so many girlfriends now, most days you'll find him exhausted. Poor thing. <br /><br />The same week he left, my beloved cat Buster passed away. I couldn't talk about it or even tell my friends for the first 4 weeks. Even now I still get teary because I miss him so much. Never had a cat like Buster before. We used to go for walks. He came when I called him. Actually, he ran to me. <br /><br />Now we have 6 cats, all strays. Three live in the shop because Garagee (old female) won't let them in the house. <br /><br />Mental health and loving an animal? I can't imagine someone not loving an animal and being healthy in any way. <br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing, CindyLu.

(they can't run!!).<br /><br />We had a baby squirrel one year who decided to take over the Nursing Centre one warm summer's day .. it was scampering everywhere .. thankfully it only lasted an afternoon and hasn't been repeated since. Slightly daunting with tubes and bags around .. fortunately the residents remained safe ... <br /><br />Lovely post thanks Gary and Kim .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-68948431430113741282011-11-29T04:12:15.848+00:002011-11-29T04:12:15.848+00:00Hey, there, Caren and Cody!
