At least those poor guys had been rescued. The frustrating part is that somewhere, someone's hoarding pets, and we don't know where or how to save them. I wonder if the car hoarder is just the first step toward pets. Mymsie- that story about your brother is adorable! My older brother was very protective of me, too, though more so in high school and college. Amy- that post made me feel so sad! At least those poor guys had been rescued.

I sometimes stand in the parking lot gauking in his car because it’s just so astounding. It’s really quite an impressive accumulation, if you ignore the fact that it’s mostly trash. Very odd neurosis.

My Mom told me that when I was a baby and she took me to the doctor for my first vaccinations, she asked my brother to sit in a nearby waiting area. After I’d gotten my shots, he heard me crying and came storming the room asking what was going on. Hee :)

I know from experience the weight gain thing is hard but hang in there. Matt went a whole month gaining only a few oz, if any. We all freaked but he got back on track with some extra attention. Meghan was a slow gainer also. I spent many weigh ins with tears in my eyes, wondering if I should just hang up nursing, lots of self doubt etc -- so trust yourself and your pediatrician, take a few deep breaths and enjoy your beautiful baby (hey it could be worse, you could be worrying about 2 babies!)

And you'd know why I think that car, while sad, has not yet begun to plumb the depths of hoarding. I'm not even kidding. Over my PA system:

At least those poor guys had been rescued. The frustrating part is that somewhere, someone's hoarding pets, and we don't know where or how to save them. I wonder if the car hoarder is just the first step toward pets. Mymsie- that story about your brother is adorable! My older brother was very protective of me, too, though more so in high school and college. Amy- that post made me feel so sad! At least those poor guys had been rescued.

No guarantees all the fries are out from under the seats. This kind of hoarding worries me more, from a couple of days ago in Illinois: http://www.tailshumanesociety.org/main.asp?id=27 At least there weren't any rabbits this time, but there were a lot of birds that aren't getting much press.
