I am so sorry to hear about Martha. I feel a connection to your pets. I missed the story about Poli’s updates. Hope it’s going ok.

I can’t take Peaches’ cage out or any of his toys yet. Seems too soon. I need to keep looking at his stuff for a while yet.

Mark took in a stray cat up at our cabin this summer (I don’t travel up there anymore). So, he goes up every Sunday and stays thru Tues or Wed for him. Now that Peaches would no longer be in danger from this cat, I asked Mark if he might bring him down here, but Mark thinks he is a country boy, not a city boy – so it’s up in the air. He has a friend who checks on him.

*sigh*

Thanks for being a friend.

Dreams are so interesting from a psychological perspective. At a recent family gathering three generations of us shared a common nightmare of showing up for a final college exam and realizing we had not been to class all semester—how much more devastating to be haunted by the recurring idea of being trapped in COS!

There is no expiry date on that offer….you think it is still going? So keen…..

denied!! i knew it was on a bulletin board and i pulled that out and it wasn’t on it….it had to have fallen off it……i looked a bit on the floor but then started sneezing from dust……so it’ll have to wait….

i sort of know where it is…..hold on…..

Find it. It may be worth using years from now 🙂

you know, he wrote me a note saying something like that about 20 years ago….i got that somewhere….

I got some actual ‘ghost’ stories, where they’ve been seen. I should make videos of me telling ghost stories or write them up or something. The new neighbors want me to write all the neighborhood history and ghost info, etc down in a book.

I’d feel bad for involving an animal in something perhaps unethical and yes, i am that much of a dweeb to think of such things!

Apologies on replying, Martha (cat) has been ill and we went to the vet yesterday. Unsure what is wrong but she got everything but the kitchen sink thrown at her! (IV fluids–she was slightly dehydrated; anti-nausea meds; antibiotic shot; dewormer).

Some people do NOT get it at all. I feel bad for people who don’t get it cuz they’re missing out on how our ‘pets’ enrich our lives in countless ways. It is just so amazing and wondrous that little beings can provide so much love, joy, and comfort to our lives. They can brighten the darkest day; their needs can get you out of bed on a day you don’t want to move because you know they depend on you and you would never let them down; they are always THERE.

I hope your husband can take some comfort in knowing you were there at the time, they were not alone. The love remains. That will never leave and is always there. ALWAYS. I’ve been thinking of you the past few days. ((hugs))
