Good luck at your meeting tonight, YIG. I will pray for everything to go well, and for you to find the help you need.
So today on my walk home from work, I ran into a cat and a dog who were sitting out on someones front lawn. They ran right up to me, had me pet them for a bit. I tried to read to dogs collar, but he didnt have any info on it. They lead me to the back of their house, and cried and junk. So I took them to the front of their house and knocked on the door. I knocked for a while but no one answered. I was worried, about both the animals and the owner, so I went to their neighbor and knocked on her door. She answered, and I wanted to tell her that these animals were leading me to their door crying, and that I was hoping that maybe she had the neighbors number so that she could call them and get help. But like as I was telling her, she said "okay" and closed her door.
Im guessing she was afraid of me? The animals were right there in the lawn with me. So she either just didnt care, or she thought I was some sort of attacker, which kinda makes me mad, that people would be so afraid of the world around them that they wouldnt even help their neighbor. I really hope someone helped those animals/neighbor : /
