Re: Popeye has gone to the bridge

Thank you Marylyn.  She did give me the day back.  She had also docked another teacher last Friday who had to be out of state in a wedding.  Human Resources made her give both of us our days back.  Next time I have a problem with a cat I will be sure to call in SICK for myself and not have to deal

It's always hard to leave them, but sometimes you have to.  It sounds like you've done everything you can to make Slinky comfortable while you're gone.  I'm sure he'll be fine.  Have you thought about getting another cat so he won't be alone when you're not home?   tonyaMarissa Johnson <[EMAIL PR

Thanks Marissa.  We miss him so much.  If you've worked at a school then you know how I feel.  I'm not looking forward to the rest of the year with her.   :(   I teach 3rd grade and generally work from 7 till anywhere from 5 till 8 at night.  I don't appreciate her attitude at all.   tMarissa

Hi MJ, Slinky will be just fine, and will welcome you back with hugs and kitty kisses!! Talk to him now, as if he understands words, and tell him what is going on, and when you'll be back, and that you'll bring him back a kitty present, etc. By talking to him out loud you will be able to relax m

Positive Thoughts for Slinky (and his Mom)

Hi all.  I can't believe I'm even sending this considering that Slinky is asymptomatic and seems to be fine...and as compared to the struggles you all have, this is such a tiny matter!  But...I could use your positive thoughts anyway.   I'm going out of town tomorrow for about 4 days (leaving tom

Tonya,   I'm so sorry to hear about Popeye...and what a difficult decision to have to make!  You made the right decision, though, and he knows how much you loved him and how well you cared for him!   What kind of teacher are you?  I actually have a background in education, too...though I'm not
