Mary - 28 Jun 2005 22:00 GMT Charlie,
I will never forget you for stepping up and offering to take Conan when nobody else would. I owe you, bigtime.
Thank God your Google history is what it is, because if it weren't I doubt there would have been two groups showing up to get Conan out of that shelter this morning! <G>
Tracy, Rhonda, and Dan--I have already gushed all over you, so ... you know.

So do we know if it's the gentleman who just lost his cat to CRF who is getting him, or one of the others who offered? In either case I'd like to hear about him from time to time if at all possible.
Hugs,
CatNipped

In either case I'd like to > hear about him from time to time if at all possible. He has asked about him in email, and I have answered him. He said he has some more questions. I invited him to contact me again. When he does, I will give him M.'s email, if she agrees.
He lives alone, in a quiet home, knows that whoever adopts Conan must agree not to declaw him, and believes in keeping cats indoors. He said he misses his 18-year-old who died of CRF. He lives in San Diego, has a very good job, and sounds like both a big-hearted and a smart and capable man. The most important question is:
Does he have a digital camera? :)

I'd like to add my thanks to all of those you mentioned as well as you, Mary. It was just the luck of the draw who got there first, I guess. He's a lucky boy, regardless, and I'm sure he is at the beginning of a new, wonderful life.
And, despite what some people may have felt about Charlie's past, he was very gracious on this newsgroup with his offer to take Conan and by displaying no hard feelings when many objected to it.
Yay, CONAN is okay, and that is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mary - 28 Jun 2005 22:11 GMT > > Charlie, > > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Candace And maybe whoever takes him will send us photos of him in his new home. I wish M would have someone take some photos of him, just so we can see him. It may be stupid to get attached to a cat I have never really met, but I sure did. The night you and I cried when Philip told the group about returning him I felt sure he would wind up being put down. Many people contributed to the fact that this did not and will not happen.
Yipppeeeee!

Second of all, I'd like thank all the busy bodies, who could not resist slinging mud at poor Charlie. This is too funny. I know Charlie doesn't care, but the thing is...at a minimum, he has seen a side of some people, he would not have ever seen.
3rdly! and Most importantly!
NEVER PUT IN WRITING, ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT THE WORLD TO READ.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >care, but the thing is...at a minimum, he has seen a side of some >people, he would not have ever seen. It has been hugely entertaining, but in the last 24 hours I have also begun to feel something like the pity one has for a wino who is passed out in the gutter with vomit on his shirt. None of these people wants the cat, but they are all worked up about him. They want to control who gets him, and some of them spent quite a bit of time and money toward that end. Well, it's their time, their money, their emotional roller-coaster.

I was having a bad day till I jumped on here and seen how full and rich my life really is.

[quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > >Charlie Charlie did you explain your posts about drowning, throwing cats out of your vehicle and swerving to kill a cat..?? The pot and the rooster are non issues but I sure would like to know your explanation on those other posts.......either you did them or you are a sicko for posting them.....?? If there is any other possibility I would like to hear it.....your halo is still a little tilted in my mind....

LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE SAFELY IN A WELL-PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT, SHOUTING... " HOLY @#$%... WHAT A RIDE!"
biggerbadderbarry - 01 Jul 2005 09:44 GMT <insomnia>
> Brad Did you see the little story and the pictures of where Charlie was taking care of the rooster?
It shows the rooster setting on his lap purring, then in another picture you see the rooster bathing in a pot. The bathwater had specific medicine just for the mites on the turkeys foot.
You make no sense!
No Really! I have no clue where you are coming from.

I give up on you douchbag......excuse me ladies......I have said five times I have no quarrel about the frickin rooster or the pot.....I hope you fall of your swing and hit your head.....really really hard.....I'm glad though that you got all warm and fuzzy about the rooster though....
Brad
Lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting......." HOLY @#$%... WHAT A RIDE!"
