I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/ I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet. 1997-06-14 Don went to the Tampa Machinery Auction and brought home some guy who didn’t have any place to stay the night before. I have never known Don to pick up strangers, and now not only does he pick them up, but he brings them home with him. They left for the sale early this morning. Don said that Davie Blaisedale was at the sale and had told Don that he had yelled to him several times in passing, but Don couldn’t hear him. Which begs the question; how did he know Davie (his former business partner, from D&D Auto) had called out to him? 1997-06-15 Out of the blue Don is loving and attentive and really keeps me on edge never knowing who he is going to be from moment to moment. When he is loving he makes me feel as if I am the only woman in the world. 1997-06-16 Don brought Wendell Williams out to the house and gave him 30 days to remove whatever he wanted of his junk and then told me I could have the rest hauled off, once the 30 days expired. Don also said he would have Kenny Farr drag all of Don’s mess out of the llama field. Too bad he never keeps his word. 1997-06-17 Don’s been wheeling and dealing and bought two more servals named Arizona 2 and Dakota 2 (he just sold 3 because he said we have too many). He also bought a 14 year old Ocelot named Tabitha and is bringing an 8 year old Ocelot named Sabrina home for breeding loan. I spent the day building cages and shuffling cats to accommodate his new acquisitions. 1997-06-19 Don called and asked that someone feed his cats if he wasn’t home by 6:00 pm, so Jamie did. Don got home around 9:30 and said he won 100.00 at the auction and wanted to split it with whoever had fed his cats. Even when he heard it was Jamie, he still cheerfully handed over $50.00. This is truly out of character for him. You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!
