Well, glad to hear Ron is sound as a Bow bell, but sad to hear about
Casey. Perhaps you'd better get another so I can send some more mice

Just to explain about that, as it looks a bit insensitive. You know Rosie
was my fourth cat in four years and the first in that time I didn't have
euthanased! Along the way I came to the conclusion that the only thing you
can do is honour their species by going to a shelter and adopting another.

I'd have put it less coldly if I were more awake!

Hey hunny bunny..........I never thought for one nanosecond that you were
being insensitive. It is natural to think we should get another cat, but
after 40 years of good and bad, we can't. Casey was the best cat ever
(except for constant furballs) and oddly enough seemed to understand most
things we said to him. He sure was a character. It will take a while to
stop having meltdowns, but that's OK. Had one today, in fact. Elayne says
she still does after 2 years (she lost 2 in 5 months that were approaching
18 yrs. of age).........now she has a cute little Shih Tsu (half Havanese)
and adores him. He looks like those pictures of Obama's Bo when he first
came to the white house.

Night........and best for the holidays........the 3 Figgs
