Hey everyone,
yes yes i'm still alive.  I've been quite busy. I know i haven't been
posting but here are some sinppets of stuff that has been going on at
the clinic and school and my life.

It was one year ago today that Harri's previous caretakers drove from
Illinois to a truck stop in central Missouri and brought Harri Roacat to
meet me.
That began a wonderful adventure. Being stuck driving that truck was an

It's sometimes hard to relax around here.
I got off work late, had to buy gasoline, stop at the library and
check the mail. Knowing I would get home late, I just bought dinner at
the gas station.

Today I had to remove from my indoor-only kitty...a *tick*.  How
the heck did she pick that up?  Grrrr.
Wouldn't you know it would be my long-haired lady, too.  Lucky
it was where I naturally ran my hand over it.  I knew what I was

Last night I went antique shopping ( I was looking for an old fashion
dough press, anybody have one?)  Instead I came home with a life size
statue of an English Bulldog. Wonder how much pasta he can make? LOL
When I got home with the "evil" statue Harvey was in the kitchen having

car-wash along with a fill-up.  No biggie.

Sorry to post to the group, but I lost your email addy.

Mattie, my two year old kitten has ESP.  I finally decided that tonight
for sure.  I will be laying in bed with my other two cats comfortably
ensconced in their spots, but what I really want is Mattie laying in her
spot on top of me.  It is just a comforting feeling.  She is just ...

The yearly ritual of buying and reciving bath salts and socks is almos
here!!
Ahhh! what do i buy you you think as you head pounds in the packe
music/perume/any shop.

If so, I'm sorry I don't know your name but I need to thank you for this
