Hmm

Got to town a bit late yesterday but since the auction wasn`t going to start until 10 ish, I felt I had lots of time. I was 45 minutes late . The auction should have been just about to the veggies and fruit. Being on a Saturday, this thing should`ve been a huge event.
The place was locked up and not a car in sight.
Did I miss something? Was the location changed without letting the general public know?
Was it cancelled because of sun. I`m going to have to go underground again and find out .
I`m very curious . Maybe someone was listening to me and did something about it. Who knows at this point in time. So, I didn`t do any buying/rescuing yesterday but I still want to get to Trailsend one Saturday soon and have a boo.
I spoke to some locals in Hagersville last week about their weekly small animal auction and was told that its a bit of everything and not just dried up cows or calves with scours. I dont know if I`ll ever have a Friday morning free to check that one.
I only have one request to bring in a kitty today. I guess this nice lady has been feeding the cat in her garage for 4 years and has had him neutered but the farm is sold so she needs to find him a home. My rescue friends seem to be looking for cats to adopt out and I happen to have an abundance so this nice boy will be going to London.
The rescue network is a miracle for all the unwanted companion animals out there and I just learned that one of my friends in rescue now does bunnies. So you know who`ll be doing what at the next auction.
Another friend of mine has a rescued bunny and he runs the house. He sleeps with the dog and uses his own litter box . They found that he needed something to dig and scratch( I dont know anything about bunnies)so he also has his own scratching post . And he is neutered.
I remember when I was about 6, my grandparents brought home two bunnies for me for a birthday gift. I called them Twinky and Star. I loved and cared for those boys for a few good years. They had their own fenced area outside to play in when I took them out .
But our neighbours had a huge German Shepherd who thought that my bunnies would make a good lunch and one sunny day while they were out playing, he killed one and chased the other until he got it and killed it too. I can still hear the screams of my bunnies as they were being murdered. And all the while I was screaming for my Gramma to do something but she was afraid the dog would bite her. The neighbours were sorry of course. In those days , dogs ran loose and the whole village new each others pets.
That was then.
My rabbits were replaced by a kitten .
But I never forgot that day and I think its one reason I make sure my dogs are always secure in the yard or on leash when we go out.
I would feel just awful, if any of my boys and girls did harm to another animal.
I`m sure that everyone has stories like this. The world shares saddness and anger and pain.
Too bad we couldnt share more joy and peace.
