Yesterday I was a witness of the first-aid organization in Atyrau city. Arman is a volunteer first-aider with this organization (the name is not mentioned for ethical reason). Arman is married and it was surprising to realize that he is only one in the city voluntarily. While the staff members seemed to be no happy with their salary. Because for my question: 'You are volunteers or on salary?' I received only inconfident silence and strange look. May be, I put a wrong question? The organization has 15 equipped ambulance cars (night shift) for city population of 271,113 people. And in day shift 13 ambulances have been working to come for help. I am proud to have a friend like Arman (on photo-on the right). I hope he will not stop medical activity. Because we need strong personalities like Arman.

Nobody takes attention to the depth of the sorrow when you lost your pet. It does not matter whether it is an animal or human - it is another soul that has a pure heart and understand your soul like nobody else. Yesterday I lost Karina, my sweetest and honest cat - beautiful creation of god. I was a witness of incredible situation which I am going to share with you, my friends: In the morning Karina used to wake me up because I like to stay in bed just a little longer than anybody else in our family. She already acquired this my bad habit and always was trying to pull down something from my bedside table, e.g: smart phone or watches just some of my item in order to make me crazy in the morning in which manner I usually react. I jump out of the bed and try to play with her giving a chase. She started to run gallop and she was crazy for doing so. I was in the mood to get some more sleep and take my blanket, came to the sofa in the hall. She stayed near me on the coach we sleep together from 7:45 to 11:00 a.m. Yes, this is quite late for a woman modern but happens with anybody. Especially when you have no job. I received a negative results upon my interview the other days. I am sure here was some involvement of personal attraction to the candidate. Because my chances were 105 per cent from 100 I know from my own experience. Anyways I said to myself that this is not the end of the life I will keep searching for a job. I dressed up and exit from the house to have lunch with my partner in our lovely place. He came only to keep me a company as he was posting Ramadan. I love him for this gesture he never keeps me alone-always together. We were discussing our dance project. We are dancers and we prepare our choreography, music ourselves. After I decided to visit one of my old female friends, I do not mention her age but she is quite older than myself. The day before I gave her a short call that I am coming for courtesy. During talking to her I understood that she is unhappy because she has got no job. She spat all the burdens of her life on me with an only one interview she has taken recently. I understood perfectly her message: WHY NOT ME, BUT THE OTHERS? I listened carefully and was trying to give my support. She started to tell me about her bad feeling about the city organization. She continuously complained about her health which was quite stabile on the first look. On the other hand, she seemed very tense and worry about something, yet she is overweight. I decided to help a single woman of 50 years and took in my hands the pulsometer to check blood pressure. The pressure was very low - total contradiction her words. I remember her complaints for high pressure. Then I became spooky and took strong action on pressure balance. I suggested her to come with me to the swimming pool. She did not refuse and came along with me. She has done complex of exercises by my instruction and control. After I saw how she became happy and talking all over with smiles. We stayed about 2+ hours in swimming pool with periodic breaks. Meantime I called my partner and informed that I am coming home with my friend. He agreed and started to prepare a dinner. When we arrived at home it was around 8 p.m and we waited for one hour to start together with my man (his fasting ends at 9 p.m). She seemed to be very hungry and showed her impatience and I prepared the appetizers. While eating the snacks she discovered that my Karina was sitting near her that made her frustrated and ruffling. My partner and myself noted immediately how she changed grimace in her face. But we could not say anything because she was our guest. After she asked to switch her favorite channel to see the soap opera. We were obliged to see together with her. However my partner was busy with preparing dinner. From time to time we gave Karina caresses in front of her. When dinner was ready we invited her at the table. According to her behavior with knees up on the chair and elbow on the table she demonstrated her disrespect and discontent. After the start-up we offered a beef stake to her and again she showed her annoyance. I understood immediately but it was too late, I was thinking about our poor cat, Karina. I heard the scratching sounds out in the balcony we started to call her around the flat hoping to find her in the cabinets or drawers but Karina already was downstairs on the 3rd floor flying from the 15 floor which is 45 meters roughly. We realize it when we saw her flashing eyes from the pain and shock that she received. My poor Karina was paralyzed in the back paws and spinal cord was probably broken due to her not moving. I abruptly started to name one emergency volunteer because I knew that there is no 24 hour veterinary services in the city. His name is Arman he was the only one who reacted to my problem. Arman was very fast to arrive to our apartment and he said that he doesn't specialize in animals and started to dial the number of his friend veterinary doctor. Fortunately Olesya the doctor did not refuse to help and opened the clinic which was not working at night. I understood that my Karina would not be able to run and jump like before so I wanted to keep her alive at least. Olesya could not detect the temperature and said that Karina has an internal hemorrhage so she will not survive. She had a big pain shock and to operate her without anesthesia will kill her. To inject anesthesia in her case had fatal effect too. So the recommendation of the doctor was euthanasia. I was against at the beginning but when I saw my sweetheart suffering from severe pain I said: DO EVERYTHING TO AVAOID PAIN. The doctor putted euthanasia; our baby, our princess fell asleep forever. She was fond of sleeping. I see the drops of tear on the face of my partner. I cried a lot. Now she is gone with only one message in the eyes: I WANT FREEDOM - I WANT TO FLY. Where I understood subliminal message: KEEP WATCHING THE WINDOWS. KEEP THEM CLOSED IF YOU HAVE BABBY CAT! But this time was it destiny or someone's bad aura? "For now and forever you are free, my darling. We always keep you in our best memories". CIAO, KARINA...
