It is important for us all to be watchful and make sure we nurture a character of integrity. I'm sorry to hear about the shop owner and the story of his cat. It is sad to know she might once again be hungry.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-39715876161249551272010-02-20T23:36:18.999+02:002010-02-20T23:36:18.999+02:00Hi Jo, I am sorry to read about the cat and her ki...Hi Jo, I am sorry to read about the cat and her kitten disappearing after all of your efforts to nurture and save them.Selfishness is rampant everywhere not just in Africa.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336168195436906219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-51551070921584491792010-02-20T15:28:47.905+02:002010-02-20T15:28:47.905+02:00Jo, you can only do so much.

Die lewe is moeilik vir die locals hier in die stad maar hierdie winkel-eienaar het dit eintlik maklik. Hy't 'n goeie besigheid en ek was nou 'n gereelde (daaglikse) klient by hom. Grant koop al 'n jaar ons water daar. Ek hoor net hoe baie dit gereen het in Marquard. Bless jou, my dierbare vriendin.

I am still running on the ancient system, therefore cannot add the follower gadget on the sidebar, but there a "follower" button at the top left of my blog, Clicking on that one will let you become a follower by simply clicking it on! <br /><br />Thank you for asking and a wonderful weekend to you! <br /><br />Btw, I keep going with the old blog format because with all the pictures I have uploaded, I am too terrified to upset anything if I'd change now.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-50478780687347443612010-02-20T12:54:12.971+02:002010-02-20T12:54:12.971+02:00Hi Merisi;) I agree, that's one consolation.

However, this shopowner was shortsighted: he couldn't see that he was getting a regular sale from me every single day (a tin of tuna for today and one for tomorrow) and my husband has been buying our bottled water there for year.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666316882168582862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-135167178775499142010-02-20T09:35:27.058+02:002010-02-20T09:35:27.058+02:00You can't ask "integrity" of these p...You can't ask "integrity" of these people ! what is a cat for them ? nothing, they would rather feed their kids with the thuna fish.

I'm always loathe to do this as it creates a situation which encourages them to breed for sale. This is not so blatantly obvious here in North Africa as it was in West Africa. I used to have nightmares about the puppies held up for sale on the busy streets with the mother on a rope between the sellers knees.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666316882168582862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-78217538585362016672010-02-20T05:09:59.767+02:002010-02-20T05:09:59.767+02:00Integrity is so important ---and it's SO lacki...Integrity is so important ---and it's SO lacking in our country, maybe everywhere. People seem to be greedy and selfish these days --and are all about what someone can do for THEM... Honesty, reliability and sincerity are secondary --which is sad.. <br /><br />Great post Jo... I'm sorry about Mama Cat and her kitten. I hope they are okay. You are so nice to feed the stray animals. What happened to the dog you were feeding?<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
