Heat and Flies!!!

So what happens when you own and run the only formal animal shelter in a booming town and you run out of space???

There is only one solution when you are 100% driven, passionate and committed to looking after animals with nowhere to go - you take them home!!!

Before you know it, you wake up to a glorious sunny day in your cute tiny two bedroom house......perhaps your thoughts turn to the delights of lying in the sun on beautiful white sand, gazing at the gorgeous turquoise and aquamarine hues of the stunning Caribbean Sea, sipping a Margarita while the sand gently trickles between your toes and the palm trees gently sway........perhaps first you will lazily stretch, get out of bed and make your loved one a delicious cup of coffee before you start your day. In this hazy mood you open your bedroom door and..........OMG!!!! Your house has been trashed.......what happened????
WHAT HAPPENED????.....You forgot that your cute tiny house is now home to 30 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens / that's what happened!!!

As the heat hits you in a huge blast (yes, you also forgot that only your bedroom is air conditioned!) all your senses are suddenly overwhelmed.

Your favorite books have been ripped to shreds........the pictures on your walls are hanging at very strange angles.........the kitchen has been ransacked ..........the floor has overnight been recovered........in small (and not so small) brown piles of @@@@ and puddles of @@@@ and the flies!!! Dear Lord.....the flies!!! Where have they all come from? Have they been pick-picking at the mosquito netting overnight? Did they creep in and just lie in wait for that bedroom door to open and then in some masterminded united front all flap their wings and dive bomb at your face all at the same time......like some giant Mexican Wave???

The moral of this sorry tale of woe? There isn't one. When you have finished wielding your mop and bucket, when the litter trays have been emptied and refilled, when all are sleepy with their now full bellies and they look up at you with those big puppy dog and knowing kitty cat eyes, you know you would do it all over again. Just as well, because here comes another 'baby' in need!!!

Oh well........shall we go to the beach now? Shall we??? Oh no, for a moment there I forgot........there's another 60 (or more) 'babies' waiting to be seen to at the Shelter and a million more @@@@s to be picked up..........in the heat......the dust........the dirt.......and oh, Dear Lord.......
THE FLIES!!!!
