Now that my heart isnt racing, my hands arent shaking, and my brain isnt whirling out of control........... a short recap before I call it a night, and go snuggle the Tankster. I support a group of homeless men and their dogs. They call themselves my flock. I call them my 6 Pack. At some point in the early hours of this morning (before the sun was even shining), two of these men were attacked. Their dogs were assaulted, their belongings were stolen. (Last year, I provided every single one of these guys with a tent and a friend gave them each an extreme cold weather sleeping bag.) Every possession they had... GONE. The men were taken for medical care, and the dogs were taken to the vet for care as well. Foster Mom TN (FMTN) picked everyone up, and they are all ok. No broken bones, no internal injuries. When asked what they needed, they only said their dogs back. I paid the vet bill, and everyone is inside tonight.... trying to heal. They will all spend tonight, and possibly tomorrow night, in a garage apartment at FMTNs house. New tents were purchased, the best sleeping bags available were purchased, clothing to get them by was purchased, food for them and their pups was purchased, and HUGE HUGS were given. I will find a way to dig myself out of this financial hole someday, but this had to be done... and it had to be done immediately. Im gutted that we live in a society of people who have no moral compass. You see it on the news. Looting. Rioting. Violence. Assault. Murder. Brutality. But when it happens to people who are already at rock bottom........ men who fought for our country..... Im just gutted. To have these guys tell me that calling the police is pointless because they are the same ones who harass them regularly... guts me. To have them tell me that no one cares.... guts me. I appreciate all the loving comments you left me. My heart hurts so bad tonight. For them. For their pups. For the 4 guys downtown who are waiting for them to return, and are equally as devastated by this. And Im really, truly wounded by the hurtful and hateful things that were said to me today while I was doing my very best to fix my guys. I know some of you think Im this bionic superhero wonderwoman.... but I promise you, Im only human... and I hurt way too easily sometimes. Goodnight everyone. Felicia
