Hi Rose! It's great to hear from you again and know you are doing okay. I think about you from time to time and always wondered how you were doing. It has a LONG time!

Congrats on quitting smoking. That's a tough one, but know it can definitely affect those around you so I am glad you quit.

I'm sorry to hear that Trixie, Pippa and Tiffany are no longer with you. Those names sound familiar. Aren't they the ones you took with you when you moved further east? I'm sorry about Maggie too. Sometimes they have underlying conditions that are just not apparent until it's too late. All you can do is give them a good life filled with lots of love until it is their time to leave you. And I know they got that from you. Very glad to hear that Kissie and Mimi are still doing well though. I remember when I met them! And Scooter too. Not sure if Simon was there at the time. I remember you had 7 kittens and had just had the mom spayed and released when I was over. That sure was a lucky thing that he was able to survive that ride under the hood! Didn't your mom have some dogs too...seem to remember Poms or some small dogs like that...that made the move out east with you? Glad to hear your parents are still well though.

How did you all make out during Hurricane Sandy? I hope no damage and that power was restored quickly.



Sorry it took me so long to welcome you back here. My life has been busy with work (still driving that bus!) and TNR. I am down to 5 cats from my 9. Munchkin died in '09 from a vaccine sarcoma, then I lost Maddie to probable lymphoma and Meadow to pancreatitis/liver problems caused by her diabetes and then my sweet soul mate Casey to kidney failure. It's a daily struggle to get over these losses and tears are shed almost daily for them, but helping the feral cats out there does help keep my mind occupied. Still have my oldest girl, Mushka...she turned 19 the beginning of August and has moderate CRF but is doing pretty well. Then there are Ashley & Nicky, the former feral tabby twins, Harley the tux and Riley my loveable SOBOL. And that's it in a nutshell. Not much has changed in my life...the cats are it.

Glad to hear from you again, Rose. Take care and don't be a stranger!
