Melissa, You are a sweetheart! I wish you and every kitty you encounter the best of everything. I'm proud and grateful to know you actually live in Nebraska! Together, we will hold down the state! I think it goes, without saying, when your heart breaks, I can feel it here. You just take care of yourself. Your husband sounds like a very nice and special person. You obviously have a very dear and loving relationship. Love from, Glenda, Feeto, Bruno, Dingo,Velcro, Gracie, little Boy and Little Girl. I still have not named the last two...And it IS, my last two. Really! Glenda --- Melissa Lind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
