"Hay effurrykit, I has an announcement to make. On Monday, I will be enterin the horsepiddle and havin an operashun to take my eyeboll away. My eye has been gettin purrgressively worse ober the past couple of weeks. I 'saw' (using that term subjectiffly) Dr. Joel today, and he sed that not eben a speshulish could save my eye, let alone bring back any sight. The cornea is starting to ulcerate too now, and that is owie. So, as of Monday, I will be a dubble Pirate!
I has been without most site fur the past week, and I'm gettin around purrty good, so I think I'll adjust to this okay. I'm gonna miss seein all your faces, but I gots a good meowmurry and will remember what you look like.
I will remain Cap'n Larry, and am not abandonin the Snow Princess! The croozes will continue with me at the helm! I just will have my co-cap'ns and furst mates tell me which way to steer, that's all. And if there's any kits here who want part time jobs as seein eye cats, well, I can always use that help too. But I not letting this get me down, cuz I'm Larry the Pirate Cat!
A lil glow fur a successful sturjery on Monday wif no complicashuns would be appurreshiated. We dunno iffen this is cansfur or what, so hopefully iffen it is, it just in the eyeboll itself. And iffen somefing else caused it, we hope it don't affect no more parts. Fanks, effury ....
::Larry taps back out of the room, and goes to rest his owie eyeboll fur awhile::
