I have had serious withdrawals. <br /><br />I love the new man in your life. I am going to the shelter in a week or so and find a playmate for our stray who found us several months ago. We have another girl but is too old to have anything to do with the new girl.

Here, you break down, you'd better know how to fix it yourself and not bother anyone.<br /><br />Your Jambaloney sounds too much like Stud for comfort. While I was worrying about his test results, and mine, I worried out loud. He stayed quiet, which kind of bothered me. It was AS IF he didn't understand the situation.<br /><br />Only AFTER mine came back did he confess he'd been scared out of his mind. I said "But I needed to KNOW!"<br /><br />He said I was so scared that if I'd known HE was scared, I might have lost it.<br /><br />My tests weren't all good, and we still don't know about his AT ALL, but I'm at least not yammering on about it.<br /><br />I hope your area is safe for a recently operated on tom cat.

There is still a slim chance that he just managed to get lost from his owners. Think we found Frankie's cousin in our rabbit live trap this afternoon. Thanks to microchipping, kitty will be going back to her home.Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05303378310653171627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-61974202931926161502012-07-31T23:20:02.666-03:002012-07-31T23:20:02.666-03:00I am glad you are (both) home now, sweet girl.I am glad you are (both) home now, sweet girl.Kathi N.http://granddadscorner.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
