The laugh I got from your emails lifted my spirit up, Nina, I have been sort of depressed for one reasons or the other lately, so I really needed that!! Thank you!
Oreo, Jojo, Corky and Pedro (Dog family) are all doing well - though the other day, Oreo fell from stairs (about 10 feet high) - he kept rolling down like an egg roll on his side way - I was so scared, but I couldn't stop him, he was going down so fast - it was a miracle he is ok, and nothing really happened to him in terms of injury - I have to be very careful about this - All my cats are doing pretty good - George (FIV boy with liver problem) seems to be eating a bit less and I am very concerned ( and I am hoping that I am not observing it correctly) - I give him fluid every day with V-C in it - and also B-12, B-complex and AD&E to make sure that he gets supplements - I so hope that he will recover completely very soon - I keep looking at his skin (the spot shaved when they drew the blood) to see if it's less yellow and seems to be that way - his poop used to be very yellow (and did not look like one, but realized that it's very typical for liver problem guys), but now his poops are nice and brown - like normal, and I am hoping that it's a good sign. Two girls I took in a couple of days ago - Honey and Angel - Honey is doing pretty good, and relaxed, but Angel is still nervous and hiding - and I don't think she has eaten anything for 48 hours!!!!!!!!! I am so worried, I hope she will start relax soon, I just feel so badly for these girls! Carl is still at my boyfriend's house by himself and want to move him soon to either with George or with where other FIV boys - he is not aggressive type, and don't want him to get attacked by my other FIV boys - so he might be better off with George, I don't know... Squeaky is one happy girl now, she rest on the top of the bed and moves around every where - she is one chunky girl - she shakes side way when she runs.. Anyway, here's the update on a small portion of my babies - How are yours? How is Timmy? How is Gypsy? How is Grace? Are they all doing ok?? PS I have not heard from Kerry - and I am so concerned for her Flavia, she must be feeling so torn about her leaving for UK at this time - I wish there is something I can do to help....

Bruce and I laugh about it too, just not right away! Uugh, how miserable to be at work all day smelling like cat pee. Were people keeping their distance from you? You can usually tell an animal person by the fur on their clothing, but the smell on their clothing would be a dead give-away too! It's amazing what we'll put up with for the love of our animals. I went to pick up some newsletters to fold at this woman's house, she opened the door and in her living room, (where chairs and couches normally would be), there were four, or five cat trees, and assorted "jungle gym" type play structures. Yep, it's easy to pick out the suckers! I haven't tried the diffusers for Ursula. There on the list, but the list is oh, so long. The dogs peeing on the floor cushions is an unusual behavior for them, I wonder if one of the kitties had gotten to them first. Zevon, (my GSD), absolutely refuses to allow someone else's urine to remain alone, he has to pee over wherever anyone else has peed. Thank goodness he hasn't started doing that in the house! How are Oreo and JoJo doing? How's Ginger? I guess I could spend all afternoon typing your kids names here... Why don't you just give us a brief update on how everyone is doing? :) Did you hear back from Kerry? I emailed her off-list too and haven't heard anything yet.
