First of all, I agree about the vet. His is an incredible fellow whom I discovered mid-crisis about ten years ago. I adore him. Everyone in his office is like him.

The situation now is that all of us are home. I spoke with his office this morning, and was told that he wanted me to at least try bringing them home. I was quite apprehensive about this, to say the least. To add to the essence of the moment, the Detroit area is having a blizzard right now. (Welcome to spring in Michigan.) I woke up this morning expecting to have to say goodbye to her at the vet today.

I drove over with my heart in my mouth. He and I had a long conversation. He was at his office yesterday, even though it was Sunday, doing paper work and working with my two guys. He really "challenged" them; separating them for an hour and reintroducing them; walking them in a common carrier through the "dog" room; knocking on the side of the carrier while they were in it together. I talked about anti-anxiety meds for them, which he does not want to try.

He agrees that Hazel may just be a high-strung little girl. He assures me that if, need be, he would have no problem finding her a home. She is very engaging and solicitous of attention to everyone who goes into the cat room. I am to leave them in the carrier for an hour before letting them out, then watch them "Unobtrusively" and see what happens.

So...this is a test for all of us. I will keep you all posted.

Thank you for your interest.

Sheila
