Hi -    My son, Chris, and I are heading for Utah tomorrow where we're
scheduled for ten days of volunteer work at Best Friends Animal
Sanctuary.  Since  we're cat people, and they have about 600 cats
there, naturally we'll be working with the kitties, but we also plan
to look in on the bunnies, doggies, horses, et al.

Meanwhile, I'll send purrs to all who need them (and hoping none will
be needed!) and best wishes to everyone.  I read every word posted
here but trust there won't be more than a thousand messages to catch
up on when we return!!!  

The only fly in the ointment is worrying about Hobo.  We were
committed to the trip and all details ready and confirmed many months
ago before we learned he is diabetic.   He'll be boarded at a great
place with condo-cages, a TLC room full of toys, climbing trees, a
picture window to peer out of, and a dedicated staff.  But I still
worry.

Take care, everybody!!!   Gotta go finish packing.

  Jeanne
