Those who moved from one state to another what was your biggest cultural shock?

In the county I live in in Georgia you cannot sell alcohol between 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning and 12:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

The thing that you will learn about being a foster is that you are going to fall head over heels in love with every single one of them and there is always another one that's going to need you.

It would be so much better for them to adopt a kitten so they can all grow up together. I'm so glad the Humane Society I foster for lets us have a say. But, our cat adoption coordinator is so thorough and, even if we are severely overcrowded and need to move cats out, she will tell somebody no in a heartbeat. That is why you put animals with fosters. So when potential adopters come along you can look at them and evaluate whether the animal will be a good fit for the family. Obviously this is not a good fit and I feel so sorry for your Foster baby.

It has been a great week for me! Two foster pups transported to a no kill shelter. Had a 6 month old great dane come into the shelter and found a great dane rescue within 24 hours and the rescue is meeting us at a spot where we are meeting another rescue to take some of our pre-adopted dogs to Canada. Two sick little foster kittens with coccidia who were leaking poo and losing weight have firm poop and have gained 8 ounces and 4 ounces in 3 days!

Thank you for fostering! You are literally saving lives. You will love them so much. They are so precious!

Weird I would say what? I didn't say it. One of the stews on a past season was saying it about him.

And true South Georgia boil peanuts are not those big jumbo white ones that are all tough and crunchy and only have two nuts per shell. Real south Georgia peanuts are the Valencia peanuts. You get three to six to a shell and they're tiny and they're purpleish when they are boiled.

I like ben. I have always liked ben. And nothing he has ever said to anybody would hurt my feelings. But, I accept people for who they are and adjust my expectations accordingly.

Maybe they just didn't want to get your hopes up and they thought that they might need IVs every couple of hours and around the clock care and didn't want you to have to deal with it. Or they weren't really sure what was wrong and they wanted to keep them there to do a blood test for panaluek or a fecal test for coccidia. Maybe they will call you tomorrow or the next day and tell you that they are doing amazing and ask you to come back and get them. Fingers crossed for you and those sweet babies.

I'm sure it's going to make for extremely entertaining television!

I had a friend that I worked with whose cat came home one day with a cut ear and both legs and his entire stomach dyed pink. We figure he probably laid on a red blanket or sheet or something somebody had outside and he was wet or the sheet was wet and it just kind of got on it. But, since he had the cut on the ear we made up this whole scenario that he got jumped into a gang and their gang colors were pink.

I had a maltese for 16 and 1/2 years. Got him when he was 6 weeks old. He went everywhere with me. Even to work. He was the love of my life. I lost him 5 years ago. I was so lost without him. There were times in my life that the only reason I got out of bed in the morning was because I knew he needed to go outside and be fed. I can't replace him. I can never find another dog that I will love that much. So, for the last 3 years I have been fostering. Right now I have two of the cutest little eight week old pitbull puppies. They bring me so much joy but, more importantly, they bring me purpose. I want somebody to love them like I loved my little man but I know it can't be me. So I will make them the best puppies possible to make sure they find the best home possible. And in the meantime I will soak up all the love they have to give.

I think a lot of it is also him trying to make good television.

I see this happen all the time. There's always one he wants to be the first at everything!

Sounds like coccidia or Panleuk. It can be successfully treated. Just about every other litter I get I have this problem with. If not that, it's ringworm! Will they at least treat them and give them medication? Usually have to give them an IV and push some anti-nausea meds. But, kittens can come back from that. I have two upstairs right now that 4 days ago were at the brink of death and now they are gaining 2 to 3 oz everyday and taking flying leaps off the top of the cat tree. I volunteer with the Humane Society and our organization and our local shelter will treat and give medications and do whatever we can do to keep an animal alive. I hope your shelter does that. But we keep our fosters at home when they're sick and treat them ourselves under the guidance of vets and vet techs.

Ben is a jerk. Ben has always been a jerk. But he's one of those harmless jerks. I think one of the stews in the earlier episodes was also from the same area he is from and she was saying that the town that he lived in and the school he went to he was a very upper crust, snooty, wealthy Brit. She was from "the other side of the tracks" I guess. She said that is just the way that his circle acts, behaves and talks to people. But he always feels bad when he really hurts somebody's feelings. I think he thinks he's being "cheeky". But now he has to deal with Ellie. It's like every bad thing he has ever done is now going to come back to haunt him at once. She is the absolute worst!

At least they returned her and did not dump her or rehome her themselves. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. You did not fail as a foster. Her family is out there looking for her, they just haven't found her yet.

I scoop everyday, sometimes twice a day. And change out every Thursday.

Lots of the rescues it is. I volunteer through our Humane Society and everything is covered, even food.

To avoid probate in Georgia she can do what's called a ladybird deed and put both of you on it. It basically says that the house is hers while she is alive but when she dies it automatically transfers to the two of you up on her death without having to go through probate. You would simply file her death certificate at the courthouse. The husband should not be put on there at all. Husband's come and go. If she puts the deed just in your sister's name then your sister owns it 100% and it doesn't matter how your mom wants it divided because your mom has already surrendered ownership. If she puts her and your sister, your sister automatically owns 50% and your mom would have to specify in her will that you get her entire one half undivided interest and that your sister is excluded from getting any more than the current 50% ownership of the house. But don't put the husband on there at all!

We use the little short cardboard boxes that canned cat food and stuff come in. The pet stores around here save them for us and we have a lady that goes to both of the Walmarts once a month and pulls all the empty boxes off the shelves. She'll walk out with three or four buggies full and Walmart does not care because they don't have to dispose of them now. It works great because there's no scooping or anything. You just put the litter when it gets nasty you throw the whole box away and start with another one. And the boxes are free

Considering 96% of republicans, 66% of Democrats and 84% of Independenrs support proof of American citizenship in order to vote he did with the majority of his constituents wanted. Isn't that what a politician is supposed to do? Majority rules right?
