I've taken strays to the vet more than once. We kept a dog we found broken up on the side of the road, after the vet fixed her up, until she died of old age. And my neighbors abandonded their cat when they moved when I was in my 20's, and I took her in. She was already old and had health issues, but I got her medication for her hypothyroidism and she lived with us many years before passing away form old age, as well.
And those damn Pet Shelter commercial make me cry....so I don't think you are weird or pathetic. It's good to want to take care of animals. And be sad over dead ones.
(My husband suffered for MONTHs after he had to have his cat put down for cancer. He failed a big test, moped around for ages, and cried. It's only the 3rd time I've seen him cry in 13 years).
Thank you so much for doing that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
