I'm staying alive for my dog and my cat

[BlueKota]

33. Thank you.

My cat is semi feral. She used to live in an old barn on our property until it had to be torn down because it was structurally unsafe. We built a new shed for the cats that lived in the barn but only one of them named Hissy stayed.

It took awhile but I finally got her to let me sit with her and pet her but she runs away if anyone else tries to get near her. So I know she needs me.

Also my German Shepherd is sweet to everyone normally accept the staff at the vets because his fear takes over, but I don't know who could take him. My sister has a friend's little dog who she takes care of at least once a week, and the friend has been diagnosed with cancer. I am pretty sure if he is uncureable he will leave the dog to her and I am not sure she could take on Dakota too, if I weren't here. The other people I had hoped to leave him with, if I were to pass, have had their circumstances change and wouldn't be able to take him either. Even the rescue group who fostered German Shepherds specifically folded after their main leader died of cancer. So I know he needs me.
