I believe you may owe me an apology then for venting about someone unrelated but expressing it as if you were directing it at me because I was really upset that my concern from one pet owner to another was being mistaken as sexual advances to "get into your pants" when I'm not that type of person.

I apologize for my concern about your cats given my own personal experiences where outdoor cats are easy targets for drivers after dark and easy food sources for local stray/loose dogs and wildlife. I was just concerned like any pet owner would be because it's generally not a good idea to let cats go loose, especially with the studies now about free range cats killing off local bird populations and such. There's also the risk of multiple litters of kittens if your cats aren't fixed as well which will add more mouths to feed. As for your dog what I read was that your dog was taken off it's chain and the collar left? Given that you said it was blind and had a skin condition and visible tumors, I thought someone passing by had seen and called the local shelter/ASPCA out of misplaced concern that the dog needed medical care that it wasn't receiving. I'm not accusing you of anything, that's just what I've seen happen again from personal experience and you said yourself it was almost dead to begin with so your neighbor stealing it to sell was hardly the first thing that came to mind.

Still I'll try to remain positive and I hope you do as well! It sounds like you've got everything under control in your life and your finances are looking up and you've gotten rid of the negative people in your life so I'm 150% certain given a few more weeks and you'll be living a new life as a new person with no worries or cares! So excited for you and good luck!
