Retiring to a remote location

What a sweet sight - lots of happy cats. Very cozy Mrs. R. I count 7 too, right?

No. Not sad. Every single day that little lady lived she was well fed, cared for, had all the shots, and most of all she knew we loved her with all our hearts. She traveled 6 states with us and loved riding in the car. People would point at her and smile on the road and Annie always just watched 'em with her calm eyes.

Did you look for another kitty to hep fill the hole in your heart? I lost what I considered my "soul dog" recently. Even though I knew no one could ever really "replace" him, I couldn't live without a doggie friend and companion. So I found and adopted a needy girl at the humane association. Though she can't take his place in my heart, she has made her own place, and I love her dearly.

And remember, you'd be saving the new kitty's life.

Nothing against cats other than they make me sneeze. I'm a dog guy anyway. As far as moving to a remote location goes, people who live in Boston or any big city probably would consider my area remote. My town has a population or 40k, but we do have several hospitals to serve the surrounding counties. So I have a pretty good situation here, small enough to be away from the big cities but not too remote. I do plan to move just outside the city limits one day, but it will be near people and only 15-20 minutes to hospitals.
 
I've had several cats and two dogs. But that was years ago. I would so love to have a dog or two but we can't. The trips we take are far too long, and we take impulse trips as well. If stepdaughter lived closer the dog(s) could have a second home. But she's 5 hours away.
 
Thanks, folks - even though he was technically my roomy's dog (roomie? roomie's?) I've been taking care of him - and her - for a while, so I developed a bond with him.

Nope. Don't want to linger, nor be on life support. If life is no longer fun and interesting, I want out.

I'm with you 100% I'm all alone now. Hope to end with a thump on my living room floor. Always an introvert, I am surviving. Life is still interesting, but the real joy has gone out of it. It's kind of like reading a magazine in the waiting room while waiting to be called for my "appointment".:devil:
 
I live in the mountains about 20 miles from a town of any size. 40 miles away is a larger city. There is so much I miss from living in town and would move back in a minute if I could. My husband and brother, who both live here love the country so that's where we are. They are both in poor health and have to have surgeries and whatnot from time to time and I refuse to drive on the narrow windy roads up here so I'm not sure what's going to happen when they both get incapacitated at the same time. I am a city girl but I do appreciate some of the nice things the country offers, looking at the stars at night, lots of wildlife, we can turn our TV on as loud as we need to, a large piece of property to stretch out on which we couldn't afford in town. If I had the money I'd buy myself a condo or house in town and my husband could visit whenever he wanted to.
