been a rough couple of weeks, and goodbye

[montemerrick]

landlord is making our lease renewal impossble, so all the development i've done the last ten years are to be scrapped and i have 20 months to move our wildlife hospital without disrupting our mission or patient care... its kind of a blow - i spent the last young man energy i had (sg 48-58) building this place, and now i have to do it again... ugh.

so today i went out on a call for a very sick deer in someone's front yard on a crummy day in series of them and the first sounds that great me when i start the car: Gil Scott-heron's Pieces of a Man, and on the way back, Simply Red's Holding Back the Years.... and i said "yeah radio, that's how it is..."

in any case, my workload is increasing dramatically right now, and i dont have the wherewithal for fun and goofing off... so my presence around here is about to go to a bare minimum, if any at all...

while i'm away practice your instrument, make music and keep your noses clean

be safe out there.

Monte.....alot of times, what seems like the end is actually the beginning of something better.
i know its difficult, but try to keep your head up and just do the best you can.

A lot of other people might decide to just give up facing that sort of uphill battle. But what little we (well, "I") know about you from your presence here Monte, at least I know you won't be giving up.

Sorry you're hitting a rough patch. But I hope you can push forward and onward, and maybe still find time to poke around here every now and then.

 

[Seamus OReally]

You will be missed, sir.

 

[crawdaddy]

Thank you for being a voice for those big and small creatures that do not have that privilege...take care and keep up the great work.....

I love you brother.

The energy is there. You'll find it.

Drop in and share when you can.

Thanks for what you do and the heart to do it.

When you need a morale boost and some energy, just check in here and say hi. We'll understand if we don't see much of you.

I know it's easy to say but, "stay positive and good things will happen"

 

[Mouse]

You've got bigger things to worry about Monte than this place. Stay well and stay in touch if you can.

 

[thomquietwolf]

Yow

Oh man! I'm gutted for you, Monte. I know you'll keep up you brilliant work however you can, and I hope to talk to you in calmer times.

 

[Chuck8436]

I wish you the best. Your profession is a noble one. In a better world, you'd be fully funded and wouldnt have to worry about bs like this.

Sending every positive vibe I can your way. Your work is so important, it saddens me to hear this. I will really miss your posts. Update us when you can, but know we’re with you in spirit while you’re away.
