I have been accused on more than one chance of being too soft hearted.
I tend to take on projects to help others even when it totally conflicts with my time schedule and lifestyle.
I feel that this is a good quality in all the people but mine can be too a fault occasionally. I have and especially soft spot when it comes to creatures. I have often said I would care about to foster homeless cats and cats but fear that they would all become “foster failures” as i would not want to provide them up. That being said, our local shelter put out an urgent call for temporary fosters yesterday when their Heating and Air Conditioning system broke down. They needed people to home some of the creatures for a week or so while they arranged for repairs. The understanding was that the creatures would be returned to them once they had everything up and running. I convinced my family to allow me to foster two of the puppies that they had that were about 12 weeks old. They were so cute that all the people agreed to the temporary set up. I feel my husband knew in the back of his mind this was not a good idea. The puppies arrived and they were just adorable. The shelter said that they had a contractor that would be out the following week to make the repairs and that they would contact to let us know when to bring them back. It turns out that the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor tried to repair the problem but found that the system needed to be updated. The shelter is a non-profit and it does not have the money to do that at this time. I wish I have the funds to provide them although I don’t. The only help I can provide is a romantic home for these two adorable puppies until they can get it fixed. This is a win for me as I can’t bear to part with them now anyway.
