Not just for Christmas

How cute, but thankfully all these kittens are reserved

Richard and I don't make any secret that we visit our local RSPCA Centre on a regular basis. Brandy and Jerry came from there and we feel it's worth going back to donate some food and to give the cats some much needed attention.

It is always a pleasure to see the pens marked as reserved or empty, what's not so nice is seeing the place full to capacity.

Once again Christmas has passed and once again it would seem lots of people have bought pets they cannot house - why? It's so cruel. If you are allergic, have a partner that does not like animals, an uncontrollable obnoxious child or are moving then don't get a pet.

This may sound like a bizarre statement but it's the reasons listed on the pens of all the cats there at present.

Most of these loving animals just want shelter, food and some love. It really breaks my heart to see how little people consider the implications of purchasing a pet for Christmas. When will people learn?

As you can see Brandy and Jerry are very content and very much part of a loving home, ours.

I have managed to spend a couple hours this weekend running around Half Life 2 and have noted how the pace has picked up. It would seem that in Anticitizen Zone you are faced with all the horrors of the previous level and much more. I am getting to the point where turning a corner is causing me nightmares! I wonder how far away the Citadel is?

Thankfully the weather has calmed down (although the report for later isn't good) - with all the wind and rain we have had over the past couple of days it's just been too miserable to get out and do anything. I cannot wait for spring.
