Day 08: A moment, in great detail
I had a cat, named Axl Rose after the Guns N Roses singer, who became diabetic in the final years of his life. According to my vet it can be very difficult to get a cat regulated on a dose of insulin, and with poor Axl it was true. One day he would be a 18, the next a 3. One of the days he was a 3 we screwed up and gave him is insulin shot. He crashed and crashed hard. We were new to this and did not know how to treat him from home so I rushed him to the emergency hospital. The next morning I had t pick him up at the crack of dawn and get him to our regular vet.
Got to the vet early before they were open and had to sit outside in my car waiting for them. The sun was HOT on my car even though it was a freezing winter day, he was sitting on the passenger seat, no cage or restraints needed because he was a calm old gent. Just blinking slowly and basking in the warm sun. I reached out my hand and put it on the seat beside him and he stretched out his paw and rested it on the back of my hand. We just sat there for about 10 minutes enjoying the warmth together and relaxing. Time seemed to stop for those few minutes and it was just the two of us together. I loved that mad old cat dearly and I will never forget the sense of peace that came from that particular moment of time.
Day 09: Your beliefs, in great detail
I have no religious beliefs, at least, no formalized religion belief. I believe in god, but not a specific god. It's hard to articulate but I do have faith in some higher power. When I picture the Christian god I ALWAYS picture Tommy Chong, as he appeared in That Seventies Show.
Mostly I believe that we are our own God, we make our own path and are judged by our actions. I don't think I believe in Heaven (or Hell) or even an afterlife. I do not fear death.
I believe FIRMLY in animal rights, I am HORRIFIED by factory farming and any sort of animal abuse. I'm so extreme that I think that stepping on ants is a crime. Anything that can feel pain or fear should be treated with the utmost respect. I'm famous to my in laws because I dumped out my father-in-law's worms he was going to use for fishing and threatened my husband with divorce if he tried to sneak around behind my back with live bait ever again. I didn't even talk to Keith for a week because of that. For WORMS. Get it? I'm crazy about the animal thing...
