I’m sitting outside with the dogs. It’s cold. I’m debating turning in a heater or letting it chill the house.

After the humid week the cold feels so nice! Maybe I’ll just put a small heater on in the bedroom and let the cold air out the rest of the house.

Labor Day reminds me of upcoming holidays. I’m going to write those feelings down sometime this week. More trauma work to do. It has been too damaging to my health to internalize the pain for these long decades. I’ll never let anyone take my voice again

My yard needs more wildlife cameras so I can see what goes on with the animals.

Poor little Blue has a hurt foot. He is staying close so I am keeping an eye on him. I always try to find help when we need it. There is never anyone to help. No back up. No neighbors nearby who like animals. Definitely no one nearby who loves and appreciates all the animals like I do.

It sucks. Someday i hope to have better people around us. It’s exhausting being surrounded by animal abusers and worthless apathetic people.

Too many animals have shown up with injured feet over the past few months.

Now that I know the people across the street like to be scumbag animal abusers. I have to include the possibility that they have some responsibility. It could be what the violent man set up on the property line.

The city refused and refuses to look at it. I have sent pictures to people throughout the city, state, and some federal people that may have some way to help. I will keep talking about until it’s safe and clear of this horrible man.

I have tried to fix the situation so the local animals are not definitely injured over there, but there are very large pieces of construction debris. There are spots where my fence is bowing and always on the verge of breaking. Half my fence boards were knocked off by the force the violent workers used to throw rocks at my fence and cats.

That’s how they directly murdered three cats.

I’ve moved many of the rocks and cement against the nails they drove through to stick out 3-4 inches on my side of the fence.

But I worry that they could still be getting hurt over there, if not by the other neighbors across the street.

It’s all the fault of the violent man. These animals were here, living in peace, for a long time. Since long before I moved here. The people across the street used to say they liked having them around, but weren’t animal people. Now they are just plain, disgusting animal abusers because they decided to follow a pathetic narcissist like tiny minded minions.

It will always shock me that the people around me turn away from the neighborhood animals. I’m used to people bullying me and thinking I’m not going to say something. (Just because I stand alone doesn’t mean I’m weak.)

But to refuse to step up when you are given evidence that the animals in your yard need you is shocking.

One woman who walks down my street sometimes told me she flips off the violent man’s house when she walks by 😂 The signs of the toxicity from that house are all over it. She is right to do that. Thank you to her.

I’d like the paw injuries to stop altogether. I don’t want to see any animal limping through this neighborhood again. I should not be the only person around here to care about the well being of the wildlife, the cats, and any dogs that may get loose around here.

For now, Blue is cuddled with his brothers. Hopefully he heals up quickly❤️

I love them all so much. If I could afford to bring them all inside safely I would. I have warm, cozy beds for them though. And I’ll watch over them as much as I can

This is the first night in months I haven’t had anyone’s pups sleeping over😂 it’s always weird when there’s no dog around. I don’t recommend it.

I’m looking around at the cats. Looking for the ones who will play fetch!

And thinking about first steps when I can restart TNR. Asap.

I want the. All to have long, healthy lives of comfort and leisure ❤️❤️

One of the outdoor cats has a limp. It’s happened too often over the past few months. I have to assume one of the neighbors that have been harassing me and the animals is doing something.

I can’t know for sure. But it’s been too often to be coincidence.

Someday I hope to have good people move into the empty houses around. Me and these animals need better people nearby.

I’ve been in this house over ten years. It was peaceful and safe until the violent man bought that house.

It’s painful to watch animals suffer. They were always so safe here before.

Cinders is eating well and seems more energetic.

Franklin is itchy. He is always so itchy. I’m trying apple cider vinegar now. I’ve read it works for dogs.

I may have a day off this week! Not sure yet though.

If I spend the time making a to do list, I’ll likely stay in bed😂 there is so much to do though.

Mulling over next steps towards justice and vindication. I refuse to let it be my whole life. But I am definitely not letting it go.

I am keeping a list of things to do for me and my home as a work for security and justice. And for after…

In the meantime, and always, I can be grateful for the beautiful animals around me ❤️❤️ a monarch and a goldfinch flew through my garden today!! And a new volunteer sunflower showed up this week 🌻
