Ode to da Tiny Boo Sweetpants

Today I had to give away one of my kiddens. I'm really hurting right now. She left in a car and she didn't know why. She was so scared on the ride to her new place that she both vommitted and deficated. She's never done that. Why didn't I give her the cat carrier??? She'll be so much happier in the long run, but she doesn't know what's

Well, it sounds like your kitty is with people who love her. Take comfort in that. Its a bit like absent friends -- you miss them, but you know they've got their own life now.

Almost 2 years ago, my other cat, Pete, ran away in a wooded area behind the Vet's office, and I never could find him. I took comfort in the thought someone else could have adopted him and loved him, although I have no way of knowing.

Pixel never did get along really well with C's cats -- Two of the three were ready and willing to accept her, but the third was afraid of becoming low cat on the totem pole, and pixel was skittish and territorial with all of them. Part of that was likely depression as a result of the Diabetes. But I think she would have preferred to be an only cat. We didn't have the option, but if a new cat does not fit with the other cats in a household, it is best to find a new home early. You did the best thing.

Letting you know

Hey John,

Shannon and I finally did it! That's right, we made it ALL THE WAY to the post office and mailed your wedding gift. We mailed it to the only address we had and I hope it was the correct one. I tried calling you to let you know with the only phone number we had but no one answered, nor did we get a voice mail/answering machine pick up. The address we sent the gift to is the same address we sent your wedding invite to back in 2005. Our hope is that if you don't live there anymore there is still a forwarding address in effect that will bounce the gift to you. I hope you guys are happy in your marriage.

Sending warm and fuzzies your way,Lisa

Well, thank you. You certainly did not have to do that, but we appreciate it greatly.

Hey, I hear the new house is final. Congratulations.

I dropped the cell phone (not literally, figuratively), and that may be the number you had.

I feel I've done a horrible job at keeping in touch. Its a condition which is endemic, not specific. I will try to do better at it in the future.
