Thanks Glenda! I appreciate the support. Yes, it sometimes feels as though we're alone as animal-lovers in this state. With you in the West, me in the East, we're bound to make a difference state-wide! :)
Good luck naming the last two--make sure you knock on wood when you say that they are really the last! Ha Ha! "Famous last words" as they say...

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: > Congrats Megan on the new kitty!
