Rescue is more than saving a life

There are times when that life has to be saved twice or three times before a dog or cat can be adopted to the right family.
I brought in two baby beagles last week that were slated for death.
They were here two days when they stopped playing. And then they couldnt hold down food . They are now attached to I. V.`s at my vets fighting for their lives again. They dont know whats happening but we do. Someone didnt give their mom her shots and now they have Parvo. I am in the process of bleaching my home , clothing and yard. Although all the other 'kids' in my house have their shots, this deadly virus can hide out for a year and attack . I wont have it. And I am fighting back , but not as hard as the two beagle babies . I`m trying to find a foster that will take them when they are ready to come home because , the book says, they will stay contagious for 2 months and that would mean no more intake for the group. I wont have that either. Too many animals are dying around me and there just arent enough of us to go around.
And if that wasnt enough, I have no hot water .
The Gas Guy finally came and discovered that the water tank was leaking and wouldnt turn the gas back on. Yes, I called the tank supplier and was put on a list. Even though they say 24hr service, that only means that someone will answer the phone anytime in 24 hr, not that they will rush out and fix the problem. I refuse to accept this kind of treatment when the water heater is 15 years old and has been paid for 15 times over since everyone has to rent these days. I won`t have it.
I am going, with my brother in law, to Canadian Tire and buying a new electric water heater for 300 bucks and telling the gas people to come and get their tank out of my basement asap or it`ll go into spring cleanup.
So, I am boiling alot of water on the stove until Tuesday and bleaching everything in sight.
I have choices . I choose to save the puppies no matter what it takes .
I choose not to be treated as a number .
And I refuse to give up on my beliefs that Jesus died for me and that he rose on the third day. The government and their political correctness can go !!
happy Easter.
