Today was the day we met with Savitha, the Chairman for PFA.
Her driver picked us up in front of Vishnu Bhavan at 3:30 and drove us out to her home.
I had no idea how sick she really was until I laid eyes on her actually.
She is bed-ridden and her eyes seemed so sad. My heart went out to her when I saw her.
We were greeted by a large, older dog and came to find out he was a street dog himself and now is her constant companion watching over her and lying under her bed as she rests.
He wasn't too pleased Peda came along, so he was reassigned to the adjoining bathroom to wait until our visit ended.
We talked a lot about PFA and about how she used to go almost everyday until she was diagnosed with Diabetic Neuropathy and now she is unable to go hardly ever.
She said that she has lost the feeling in her legs and feet and got burnt because of it.
There is so much to do and she feels quite helpless and my heart honestly went out to her so much that it hurt. Because this is her Passion. Her Baby and what she lives for and not being able to go is so hard for her.
She never had children. She is my age and the animals are her Everything.
She told us about the new enclosures for the dogs and how they will be divided into different sections to protect the ones who are sick, injured, disabled and the puppies.
It is being constructed Now as I write this and will be delivered to PFA once it is finished.
(I have no date on that).
We talked about the feeding trough that we want to have built to protect the dogs as they eat, so that there is no more fighting.
Savitha really liked the idea and we were just getting down to talking about getting an estimate and her husband came into the room and the conversation shifted to a whole new discussion...
We had a 6 pm appointment and the driver had to leave as well so we didn't get to finish up.
Savitha was lying down in the bed and seemed so drained too...
So we took our leave and told her we would come back very soon and see her again so we could finish up on the nuts and bolts to getting this built ASAP!
