We hoped and prayed,


she'd make it through the holidays. And, bless her heart, she did. Just barely. I suppose I could have delayed another couple of days, but I hurt when she hurts. It would be different if she had a chance of recovery, but after a long talk with Dr Gussman this morning, we decided to end her suffering. It only gets worse from here, and putting it off isn't gonna make it any easier. She's still here, on my lap, for the next few minutes, then gone forever. I'm sure gonna miss her, and if I had it all to do over, am not sure if all the good was worth all this bad. But, for her sake, I'm glad we were able to love and spoil her these last days. She was born with this genetic death sentence, and never really had a chance, but sure managed to steal some hearts along the way. Wouldn't have guessed I could feel this way about a kitty/cat, but she is/was special. We knew it the instant we saw her, after spending many hours looking at every available kitty we could find. Their was never a doubt, from that very first look. The prettiest kitty ever. Sophie, hope you get your energy back, in kitty heaven. I know you'll be the prettiest one there......

I am so sorry to hear about Sophie. I know how much you'll miss her (as we all will). She truly was one of the sweetest cats I've ever met. You and Carol are such good pet parents. Sophie was as lucky to have you as you were to have her.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
