But that isn't the case.
"House of the Discarded" is my house. It's a house full of cats and a dog that nobody wanted and at one time were tossed out like garbage. The title represents everything about my life, my home, those that I love, and love me back. The title represents some my darkest moments in which I've publically shared them.
Maybe that's why I relate to the cats in the shelter. Maybe that's why you can relate to me. We've all felt vulnerable, and discarded at some point in our lives.
Like the cats, dog and people I live with, I'm grateful for every day.
Thank you for taking the journey with me.

Well said Beth, it's the same story here :-) I have always had cats that nobody wanted and without fail they have been sweet, loving and wonderful. Sammy and Bertie are the latest in the long line and you know how brilliant they are :-)
I don't think this picture does New Guy justice quite yet but I couldn't wait to post it (I have to admit to being a little bit in love with him :D ) I already know I will be heartbroken (but happy for him!) when he goes to his forever home...

I understand, too. We have a bunch of misfits here, a three legged cat, and three and a half legged dog, and otherwise broken and abandoned and mistreated souls. But we make an amazing family together.
Thank you for sharing your blog; I am sure your blog title and love of taking care of discarded beings is what we all have in common...Until I met you and all of those involved in rescue I truly believed I was alone in worrying about all of those free kitten signs, or dogs chained to dog houses during the deep dark cold days of winter. It is so wonderful to know how many people share this passion. It makes me feel like there is hope and one day all of us fur or no fur we will all have lives full of kindness and love.
The picture of the "new" guy brought the biggest smile...so happy he is being loved and cuddled! Thanks Cindy:)
You are welcome and you are the 'Real Deal" girl. Hugs Deb =^..^=x5
