 How has this changed your outlook?

Care for an incontinent cat. The thought was terrifying to me until I picked one up from the shelter. They told us they thought she had CH, but it turned out to be an old spinal fracture. I'll never forget how scared I was when the rescue's vet told me I'd need to express her bladder.   But now I can do it (it's waaaay easier than I imagined) and I have this little love in my life for good.

I felt the same the first time about insulin shots when I first interacted with a diabetic cat. And then somehow I ended up fostering him until he found his forever family. We had to do shots daily and he really didn't mind them at all  

Really opened my eyes on 'special needs' pets and how people shouldn't assume anything is too difficult for them to manage!

Host a big event! YAY! I was terrified I would forget some major element and it would be a complete failure. Certainly a learning experience, but now I have more confidence that each one will be successful and better than the last!
