my dear joannadandy,
first let me say that i have enjoyed reading your posts. i love your humor and good common sense.
i am sorry for this past stressful week you've been through. sometimes it just goes like that - it always rains when it pours, but you will get through it.
finally, i am so so sorry for the loss of your cat. it is so amazing to me that these little loving creatures can become so special to us, we truly truly love them, and they love us back. they just get right inside our hearts. so, i guess you may have read about my squeak from your comments.....so you know that i understand exactly what you are feeling. my heart goes out to you.
my best to you with love, nowisee
