Hi Eric! Sammy is doing fine.
Hi Kelly
How are you and Sammy doing?
Hi Lyzzie, Yes, I understand what you are saying, & I agree. I was not however talking about getting on welfare. I do not have children, so I wouldn't qualify. (Just like Medicaid).
I don't know where to begin! I love your update!
I guess I'll take care of the not so nice stuff first... I'm going to vent a little too...
Here in France, the health care system and welfare system is good. I too, started my own business back in 2011, and found myself on welfare for the first time. Let me tell you, it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's not enough to live of off, I have barely enough to pay the rent, the rest I pay on credit. My health insurance is free, that's the great thing about it. Sure, there are people that use the system, and abuse it. Do you really think that the sum of these people and what money they take equals all of the tax shelters of really well off people? They too, use and abuse the system. I just wish people would stop thinking about welfare as some kind of great thing that allows you to do nothing and watch TV all day. That's just not the reality of it.
OK, I'm done.
Sammy is a girl!I thought she was a boy, even in the pics she doesn't have that female vibe that I normally get. Weird. I love the name you chose for her, Sammy is a great name!
About the teeth cleaning, if you do it now, I think a YouCaring page or something similar would be great. I know I would donate. There is no shame in asking for help when you need it. After all, that's what we are here for!
Oh I didn't know that! Here you don't have to have kids to be eligible. There is a separate allocation for people who have kids.Hi Lyzzie, Yes, I understand what you are saying, & I agree.

Great idea! A girlfriend of mine who was unemployed for years does that now. She loves it. She walks dogs - that's the main part - but she spends a lot of time visiting owners' cats & making sure they are ok. Many times she even does overnights. And you wouldn't believe the tips she makes now that the pet owners know her. $100 is not uncommon.As I was reading about your job, a thought come to my mind. Have you ever considered adding cat (or pet) sitting to your house cleaning business. Since you already go into people's homes, it seems like an easy transition. And you already have some people to use as references. Plus, after all you did caring for Angel, I think you'd be fine administering medications to pets who needed them. You could probably get a reference from your vet as well, and maybe referrals too. Anyway, not sure if it's something that would work, but thought I'd mention it.
Aww, Thanks Margd. Yes, you have a point there, I could say "Some pet services" as well. Then people could inquire about it.
Sammy looks lovely in her pink collar. I hope she keeps it on for awhile and is not like my old Wesley who could get them off in mere minutes!She really is a little sweetheart.
About petsitting - you could always just accept clients that fit in with your schedule. There really is a need for pet sitters and you would be a godsend to those in need.
your Sammy looks so pretty in her new pink collar!All tuckered out!
This morning, snuggled up to me [emoji]128571[/emoji]
Thanks Jenn! Yes, it really is helping me see her as a girl now...

i think seeing if you can get on the section 8 program with your current apartment is a great idea! that might actually get you on section 8 faster. and, once you're on it you may very well have more options as far as looking for another apartment, if needed.
