Sorry I havent written much, I've just been so busy. Jamie's been taking me to work with her everyday so I could help cheer up some of her clients, but because of the nature of her work, we couldnt take any pictures.
One day, I burned the midnight oil with Jamie and helped her stay awake when she had to work the midnight shift. I wouldnt want to do that all the time-How's a perfect little kitty like me supposed to get her beauty sleep?
Another day, we visited "Angela," a woman in her late 20s whose father got mad at her and threw her against the wall when she was an infant, causing permanent brain damage. We gave her a bath and read and sang to her, and did some chores around the house to help her adopted parents, who're both over age 60. "Angela's" mom, "Kari" had a lot of pretty flowers out back that i got to help water. "Angela" couldnt say thank you, but i could tell she enjoyed the attention, as she was very relaxed when we left.
Later that night, we visited "Roxanne" and "Terra," her mother. "Roxanne" is in her late 70s and has cerebral palsy, and her mother is in her 90s so, as much as they try to maintain their independence as they have for so long and so well, they do need a little help now and then. We helped "Roxanne" onto her recumbent bike and visited with her and her mother, then helped "Roxanne" take a bath and get in bed. I got to meet their gorgeous white cat, "Snowball," and their little tuxedoed chihuahua, "Millie."
We also took a young (minor) man with asbergers to the mall and the library, and took a charming woman in her 70s out for dinner. It's been a busy week.
Its not something I think I could do, or would like to do for the rest of my life-its a lot of hard work and physical labor to take care of people, especially for such a sweet little kitten such as myself, but you should have seen their faces when they saw me! Their eyes lit right up and wanted to know who I was and what my story was.
Maybe someday when Im rich and famous, I'll open a charity to help those less fortunate then me.
