    Coco is a right load of mischief! Scramming hands, climbing up legs and backs is all in a days work. He loves crabsticks and cuddles and he hates Hoovers!

    Congrats, miu–you win the extra turn in the sharing circle with two of three questions right from yesterday’s quiz. The first answer was “‘Miles Silverberg’ from ‘Murphy Brown.’”

    Enjoy the extra cuddle! :-D

    –HM–

    Those shots sound mighty painful. I had to have shots of cortisone in my head in the past for my bouts of Alopecia Areata. Outside of using Rogaine,the shots are the only other remedy to control it. It’s an immune-system disease that (in my case) gets triggered by stress. That’s why I get faint around needles anymore.

    BTW, Could you possibly put up the link again that you shared w/us on the Katrina survivors. The one that gave you your 15 minutes of fame. lol. I’d really appreciate it.

    I’m glad your feeling better. :)

    They were very painful. The last pain shot went into my shoulder and I almost fell off the chair. I was hollering like there was no tomorrow - and I’m not holler-er.

    My dad had the same shots you did and he was none too happy.

    Here I am, I don’t know if it still works though!

    Hello TDK’ers,
    Just a quick note to let you know that the little feral kitten I have been caring for passed over the Rainbow Bridge very early this morning. Black Jack fought a good fight but never did grow much. I had him for 4 months and loved him very much. Yesterday afternoon a big yellow butterfly landed right in front of him and stayed there for quite a while. He had a bright look on his face and watched it until it flew away. Perhaps he is chasing butterflys over the bridge. Please keep a kind thought for little Black Jack. I will remember him fondly he did brighten my day.

    You did all you could for Black Jack just as we did for Roo. It hurts because it still wasn’t enough to save the ones we love.

    so sorry

    Hi Puddytat -
    So sorry about Black Jack. It seems as though that butterfly might have been a kitty angel in disguise, sent to bring Black Jack comfort and ease as he headed for the Rainbow Bridge. Try to keep those fond memories of the short but high quality time you had. You made a difference to him. Kudos to you - you are my hero for the day!

    I’m so saddened at your news about Black Jack, Puddytat. Letting go of him is so difficult, isn’t it? We love them and nurture them and they brighten our lives, and then we have to let them go. But even knowing there’s a painful parting at the end, doesn’t stop caretakers like you and all your beautiful friends here at TDK, from loving them. Maybe God just loans them to us for a while — he did give us domininion to watch over them for him. I know you’ll cherish the space forever that Black Jack occupied in your life. Tears for him and his short, sweet life, and hugs for you, Puddytat.
