Rebecca, We'll keep all paws, whiskers, and fingers crossed for Rio....hopefully, since the virus is showing up less, that is a good sign as far as him finally throwing it once and for all. That is too bad about Annie and the nursing home....I still think having a cat around brightens anyone's day.:) The activities guy wouldn't be satisfied just with you keeping her claws clipped? And as far as some of the residents not liking animals, or not quite being themselves mentally any more, surely there could be some sort of supervision to ensure that only the ones who wanted to come in contact with the cat were able to do so? Just some thoughts.... And no, you don't seem silly at all. Of course you and Annie are bonding even more, because the two of you were probably closest to Aspen. Its nice that he comes to comfort you in your dreams....I think that proves they are all up there watching us, still loving us, and being our little guardian angel kitties when they can. Take care, and good luck to Rio and Annie! Hugs, Anita __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Free email you can access from anywhere! http://mail.yahoo.com/
