I wish I did know you as the world doesn't seem to have enough good human beings in it or at least not in Florida of the U.S.A. anyhow.
I also wish you nothing but kindness and a long good life. Peace always.

Thank you sweetheart! Things are moving along slowly but their moving. I'm out of the trailer finally and got my stuff into the house next door. Still have to get power turned in, get a stove and , refrigerator and things like that . It'll be a while before everything is fine but I'm trying to take it one day at a time.

God speed and give you courage. You can get some pretty good deals at a used appliance store rather than buying all new so maybe look into that. I realize this is a touchy subject but I read the bible everyday of my life before I go to work and that has made a huge difference in my life getting strength to cope.
I would be so careful who I even pretended to follow even as a joke  but think about it anyhow.
Perhaps this is a crossroads in life for you to change something but of course I don't know. When I stopped drinking my life got better over night and I haven't even had the urge to drink anymore and God did help me in that area. I doubt I'd even be here if not for that miracle. All I can say is what do you have to lose? I'm so glad to see you're building things up one day at a time at least. I wish all the good things in life for you.

Gosh, I'm so toughed you had enough of a kind heart to ask. Almost no one even cared one bit what we've gone though here and I should post some images of all the trees down and roofs gone and tons of trash and limbs piled up in everyone's front yard. I lost power for 2 1/2 days and that alone was miserable as it was 95 degrees out everyday and 86 at night with no wind. No gas at any stations and no food or lumber as it was all sold out two days before the storm hit. It turned out to be 40% LESS than what it could have been in intensity so thank God for miracles.

You're right......I wouldn't leave the house because of the animals and also I knew it wan't going to be a CAT 5 that is death at times as well. It was scary, as I got 100 MPH winds that did all kinds of damage in the neighborhood. Almost no one has a fence left that's not all gone or badly damaged. On the second day I emptied my refrigerator of everything and spent two hours cleaning it as I'm careful what I eat and everything was spoiled by then.

The good part is that every cat, every dog made it in good shape and I took in the two sick ones and put them in the bathroom with blankets and food and they loved it. The others are too scared of people and houses to go inside so I couldn't do that to them. I put Champy in my garage to stay and he went crazy diving at the windows and howling as loud as he could like he was dying. I had to let him out or he was going to hurt himself, but he made it in good shape and soaken wet and skinny and hungry after only missing two meals. 

I have to get little Champ to the vet because he's so weak he can't even eat much now because of the AIDS he has but I gave him 2 more good years of life he wasn't going to have so thank God for that. I already cry at times that I can't save him and he hasn't much time left, but he sure does love the gentle touch of my hands as I pet him and tell him over and over what a good cat he is and how much he's loved and how he made this world a bit more beautiful. I honestly believe that too.

You'll see all too soon just how unfair this life is that so many suffer and are in terrible pain while so many spend all day laughing, hurting others and counting their cash. It only makes any sense if in fact; we die, and then go to heaven where everything is finally good.

I'm going to confide in you and use some bad language too I'm ashamed of, but I feel so strongly about this. I hear all the losers out here say that all the bad that happens to any of us is because of what "WE THINK". That we should think nothing but good things and never anything negative and we'll attract power and wealth and health and so forth. MANY books and movies have been done about this junk like the movie "The Secret" and so forth. I fully know that much of your life CAN be helped or improved if you FOCUS on the positive; I do believe that, but tell me what did a new born baby think that was bad to cause 10 cancer operations by the age of 2 years old??? What in this stupid ass  pathetic world do billions of beautiful animals think to starve to death every year or get hit by cars or get shot or get cancer or so many disease's ???? I guess it's all their fault huh??? YOU know what....go **** yourself people that think all that trash and when a guy get sick they think he had negative thoughts that caused that so he/she brought it on themselves. Some things in life beat the heck out of ALL OF US NO MATTER WHAT WE THINK INSIDE US is my observation. No one single thing fixes all of our lives no matter what it is.

What bad things did I think as a baby to get two ****** up, drugged up, alcoholic parents that hated kids and beat us up every week for years to take the guilt off of them? I get mad at God at times for allowing this brutal machinery to run the world, but I then stop and a feeling comes over me from a book I read about a doctor that died for a couple of hours and then came back to life. He said he went to heaven and had this deepest of all feelings, that he knew beyond reason that everything in the universe was working exactly like it was designed to run. He said he saw Jesus and knew without language being spoken, that every single grain of sand in the entire universe was exactly where it should be and in it's own proper place. It's hard for me to grasp that of course, but that line is something I'll never forget as it gives me a degree of peace on the inside that all is well in life, even if the lives we live are unfair at times and unyielding in it's brutality to many people.
I'm so sorry I went on so long, and if you don't read it all, I get it. Today, no one wants to spend any time on anything and after a hurricane and devastation you'll have some clown send you a stupid smiley face is what this society has turned into.
Anyhow I'd love to hear your thoughts and an update about how your doing.
Should I post some pics of what this place looks like now or not bother because they saw it on TV already? Let me know and may all the blessings in life be yours. Thanks so much for even asking as it helps me to write.  denn

There. ..I'm glad you made it through with all the animals..making it to... yeah I figured you stayed and as I watched those winds build I prayed for you and the kitty cats.. I bet you were very scared for the referral ones..and having to let champ out... that would of broke my heart.... ..


sure post some pictures I would like to see what you and your neighbors lived through...I can't image what you all went through...


No I don't believe that about your inflicted with pain and disease because of bad things you did in life..Your right those are ignorant people..I left the Catholic church for that reason... I read about that stupid scientology stuff too..shaking my head.. we have a kind merciful God.....

I don't know why terrible things happen to people.. when my mom was dying she told me about an angel waiting for her.. she was all light...she was up by the roof in the corner of the room. And I believe her.

I'm glad she was able to let me know that.
Take care..I am glad you and the animal all made it through.

It could easily be that your prayers are what helped protect me and them in that storm so I'm blessed to have you as a friend. thanks ever so much..

It scared me some but not terribly because at that point it was clear we wouldn't get the worst of it. It was going to be less than 100 MPH which is all I prayed for. I've been through several of those before and they are hard but not killers. I had to let Champ out before he jumped through a window but yes it was hard.
Okay I'll post some this weekend as not much is cleaned up yet. The cities are not picking things up like they should at all but it's our rotten government at work as always..

Bad things happen to everyone as disease doesn't know who sins or thinks bad things and car accidents have no idea who driving nor do earth quakes, tornadoes or hurricanes have certain people in mind. Life is just really a throw of the dice often times and in the wrong place at the wrong time can be painful. Of course we still have the smokers and drug users alcoholics and adrenaline junkies that cause their deaths by what they do and make mistakes doing it. That has nothing to do with God. Those are just morons.

If I had your mom I would be much much better off today. My grandfather died when I was 8 and I thought he was sleeping and I couldn't wake him up. I laughed and said something stupid about seeing a fire truck and my mom slapped me in the face and knocked me down. NO ONE ever explained to me ever in my life what dying even was, so I'v always been scared to death of it all my life. MY rotten parents have been the cause of the majority of the pain and suffering I endure in life as they hated kids because it took money and effort away from the drugs and alcohol they loved so much. How I turned out so good and kind with the worst parents you can imagine is beyond imagination. My grandmothers were angels though that saved me.
I hope your mother (God rest her soul) was totally and perfectly correct in seeing what she did. I pray something good comes out of this life and it just isn't the end and your gone.
That was one of the greatest gifts she could have ever given you and the strength that comes from that should provide years of comfort to you in this battle we fight down here everyday. I wish I would have gotten that but of course.....I didn't. Maybe God knew it had to be another way with me but still it's so painful all these years later. To think I was never loved in life is a most horrible thing. Maybe thats why I love others and especially animals so much too.
Anyhow...I guess I'll get some sleep as it's 2 am and I have to work in the morning.
thanks, denn

There is a reason for your suffering.. you are there for the kittens.. if not for you where would they be.. I am sure you will be rewarded.

Your mother left you a gift I would trade all I have for. My mother left me fear, anxiety, disappointment and suffering as well as the understanding that no other human being can be trusted. It's a terrible way to live and has taken me so long to change those ideas and still there never completely gone.

I'm so glad you have each other and those shepherds are such smart, wonderful pups.
Lucy is at my right elbow sleeping on my desk as I write this. She goes where ever I go and I love her too. Both our little bunch of pals have a good life with you and I in it I think. I wish you the very best and I think it's a gift to me to be able to help these animals. I know I make a bit of a difference in this world so I love doing it.
How people can have billions or millions of dollars and not use it to make life better for others is beyond my understanding. Kids die everyday...animals die and suffer and yet 400 people in this country now own 83% of all the wealth and do next to nothing to use it for good as they simply keep hoarding it, as if that means anything at all in life. If you died with all the wealth in the world and did nothing to help others, then you're a miserably failure.
We both do what we can but I do wish I could do so much more. I also give my time and effort and support as well as real money.

Champ hasn't been here in two days now so that's not good. He never missed a day for over two years so this isn't a good sign when he's so weak. I learned so much and gain a great deal of strength from him too as I see what he goes through and still is happy and kind. He's the bravest cat I ever saw and inspires me to keep going as well.

May all the blessings in life be yours; denn

YOu seem to be one of the only ones that get it in life. We all have a right to live in this universe and I know even with my rotten alcoholic parents that traumatized us to the point of my only brother Paul killing himself; still, life is a gift from God it seems to me, and I'm ever so grateful for it.

I've had a very difficult life, full of pain so I relate to others dealing with similar issues I guess, but old Champ does just break my heart. He is in his last days because some adult asshole just let him run wild and did nothing to protect and help him, so he has to suffer from rotten human beings care. These little friends of ours never have done anything wrong or thought a bad thought in their entire life and yet have to suffer like the worst most depraved human being does at times. It just isn't fair but of course.....NOTHING in life seems to be fair.

This is why so many care nothing about how they act or what they do to others in this world because so much of it seems to be just a roll of the dice or who your parents were or how lucky you are. Nothing is fair and justice seems all but missing entirely anymore. I do wonder if they have been writing words like that for thousands of years?? I did look that up adn studied it fo a time just to see so if you're interested let me know.
Champ showed up this morning and he did eat pretty good and he's on my porch at this very minute so I'll feed him several times today. He's just really weak and the shots aren't doing anything for him now so maybe in this case the end will be the sweetest thing that can happen. Tears run down my cheek now as I write that out, but it's true and yet still  ever so hard to deal with for people like us.
With love and respect denn

He showed up again two days ago and now is eating really good for his condition. He eats three times a day but it has to be real soft food as she can't chew very well. I pet him and he likes that a lot and I tell him so many times how beautiful he is and how handsome and he's done so much good in this world. I wish he either dies now or gets better but not my will be done. May God help make it easy on him and that he knows he was loved.
