Oh, SHIT! I am so, so, glad you forgot!!! Thought I missed a very important happening. Thank God. All of us out here in Computer Land think alot about your life and your work. Thank you for all you do, I know, wait, I KNOW, (that's me yelling) there is no way I could keep up with all you do, not to mention the thought that goes into each and every animal. Bless you for your didication to these little and big guys.

omg!...shit!...i missed ronnie!...(sorry baby, i suck!!!!) he is doing ok....not as plumb and shiny as the rock and misfit...not as faded as the other boys...he occasionally struggles with mild URI but so far so good. and so we really have 6 still left. apparently i need to go back to bed and practice counting cats a bit more.

Carol, I am so sorry for your recent losses. It really sucks to loose so many so fast. My heart goes out to everyone who loves the Saints. Did I miss something or did you forget Ronnie? I remember them all so well from Pahrump and I remember when Ronnie's BFF, Capt. Jack passed. Poor Ronnie was so lost.

I was so touched by the fact the cats cared for one another and knew the end was near. Boy, now I am crying again. Rest im peace sweet Sunrise, many loved you. Anne

there are only 5 left...merlin, tikki and mosley are all losing weight....the rock and misfit both look really healthy. when they first arrived, i thought merlin would be the first to go...he was so sick and aladdin the king looked to be here forever. the most frail has so far survived and the strongest was the first to have died.
it is a disease that you just can't predict or win against and yet these cats are all so truly incredibly accepting and kind.
all of we humans could take a lesson from them on living with purity of spirit and courageous fortitude and more importantly, with absolute true grace.
sunrise was a very sweet and gentle cat, all of them were and are.

I am crying for the loss of yet another Americat - another survivor of hell gone to better and greener pastures. I know that should make me feel better, but there have been so many this year.

I know how hard it is for me to know about the losses, I can only imagine how hard it is for you to deal with them. Thank you for the new lease on life you gave these four-legged furrballs. Thank you for the outdoor enclosure with grass and shelves.

Thank You and Bless You. I pray that God heals us both.
