Tomorrow morning the woman from the rescue group is planning to come by to take pictures of (temporarily named) Igor. I have decided to keep him, and know this will cause some problems. The director (not the woman coming by) is an odd sort, and very difficult at times, I am lead to understand, and I know will not be a happy camper. Which means the woman who I have to tell won' be happy, because she will have to deal with the director.
I do plan to pay her back for the vet bill, but I only have half right now, will have the other half in a week.
I'm one of those people who prefers dealing with animals because I'm so bad at dealing with people, so I'm not only terrified (even though I know I shouldn't be) I don't know how to handle it.
Basically I was going to tell her that because this cat seems to be an "ambassador" and would help me socialize other ferals, which would help them took and because for some reason we just seemed to bond, that I feel it was fate that brought him here to me I decided to keep him. I was giong to tell her I gave it a lot of thought, talked to many people, and although I realize there are arguments against it, I think that this was meant to be, and the pros outweight the cons for me.
I was then going to tell her I fully intend to pay her for the emergency vet bill, that I have half of it ready for her, and will give her the other half as soon as I get paid next week.
But, should I do it tonight on the phone? Or would I be better off waiting until she shows up tomorrow and tell her, when I can hand her the money right off (but that wastes her time). I don't know what to do.
I wish I could just talk to animals all the time. lol I am what is known as a wimp.
So I could use advice (maybe a better "speech" or some suggestions on it, or better reasons to give her?) and when do you think is the best time to tell her?
Or some simple moral support!
Thanks!
