...who is having knee replacement surgery on Thursday.
I know knee replacements are supposed to be worse than hip

Mom came in yesterday, and Dante did his usual
bouncing-around-the-house performance to greet her.  "Hi Cookie!" she
said to him.  I said  "Mom, you've been calling him that lately-- is

board. Liz still workign, and has catKB, but still trying to impress
the management there.
I did get to play with the cats.

This British dude is a great photographer. An album with over a thousand of
his pics of wild birds, flowers, cats, dogs and other subjects is worth
spending some time to explore at http://www.fotothing.com/mmmstreaker/

Last week we had twice baked potatoes that come in a oval  cardboard type
container. When we were done we put them down on the floor for the cats to
check out.   I see Abby with her "thumb" on the edge of the container
holding it still. She didn't have any other part of her paw ...

I took Sieglinde to the vet today: she is not pregnant and maybe never

Trouble has an overactive thyroid now.
I took him to the vet on Saturday.  I'd been thinking for a while that
he didn't seem quite right.  Nothing major, just a growing realisation
that he's behaving very much like Scaredycat did before we realised she

Since Frank died, and Baha gave me the tip about her friend who carried
a vial of his mother's ashes around his neck, I've been searching for a
suitable vessel to put the remains of Frank's ashes in (I saved a little
bit that I didn't scatter on the island). I finally found it, ...

I know  this isn't much of  a memorial, but I  think it's probably
the closest thing to permanent I'll be able to manage.
My friend, Joanie, died this evening,  in my arms, and by the hand
of a veterinarian, Dr. Ivanna Hummel-Bodak, who also loved her.

Just wanted to wish you a very happy day.
Where oh where have the last three years disappeared too????
