Ergh.

It’s been stress, stress and more stress here recently. The mouse train arranged to get little black foster boy to his new home went off fine until his new owner failed to collect him her end. He spent a week in his travel carrier at one of the transporters homes waiting after which followed a mad panic trying to find a way to get him back to me again. Given it took several weeks to arrange getting him there in the first place this was a tall order and after a few possible leads came to nothing he ended up travelling to yet another show on then onto a new foster place. I spent one hideous weekend madly contacting anyone I could think of that might be able to help whilst generally stressing over where mousey was going to end up while also feeling guilty for letting him go and also helpless at not being able to just go get him! Thankfully in the end a lovely person in the midlands has taken him in for me and he is now safe and well cared for whilst he waits once again for a forever home to come up. Poor little man.

To add to this in the last couple of weeks I’ve had Jessica develop a rattly chest and my darling Pete go to the bridge. Jess I’m keeping an eye on as I don’t like to jump straight in with the anti-b’s but it’s still another thing to worry about and as for my Pete, he just seemed to give up. Logically you’d think if anything I’d have lost him when his skin was at it’s worse but it seems it’s quite often the case that they go once they’re on the mend instead. Frustrating and upsetting, which are pretty familiar emotions at the moment unfortunately!
