Nice to hear some good news about your MIL Dcat, she's been in our thoughts today. If she handled surgery that well it speaks to good results for the recuperation. To those who are dealing with colds and ominous signs of illness, wrap up well, have some chicken soup, pamper yourself and take care. We've been well so far this winter and with luck will continue to do so.

DD showed up early this morning and we went to see the new kitten, who is due for his shots this week. We'll probably pick him up on Sunday, not this coming one but the one after. I'd like him to be eight weeks, so he's fully weaned and to stay with his furmom after his shot, in case he's not feeling chipper. DD has swollen tonsils which she told me on the way back after being in the car with me. I said, you mean I've been breathing your germy air???

It's very hard to see your parents failing, Hap, once they reach the stage where they aren't aware of their surroundings or recognize family, it's harder on the family than the parent. I hope your good memories will sustain you. Been down that road, and it's a long lonely walk. We're here for you. I tell my kids and DH I hope I just keel over and check out.

Oh, and not to ignore all the rest of you, I'm just kinda buzzed after seeing the kitten this morning......I'm getting real antsy!! Oh, what's that you say, you want to see him? (DD, in spite of 20 years in vet. medicine says she's 90% sure he's a boy...sigh.) OK here he is looking perky and sassy. My girls are in for a rude awakening. LOL
