I am begining to hate the year 2005

[jenluckenbach]

after a year that began with car repairs on BOTH cars (over $500 each). An operation for Rutherford (total over $1000). Charlie losing his main job. A roof that leaks (no estimate yet).......

What do we wake up to?!??!?!

BOTH cars have been vandalized.......tires slashed.

An easy fix, after several phone calls, and insurance covers some, but still.....this year is not starting off very well. :(


The only thing that will cheer me up is would be KITTY PICTURES!!!!

So everyone post your 1 BEST picture here, just for poor little ol' me :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

What creeps to do that to you two! Sorry things aren't going so well this year.....yet! The good news is things can't get much worse and things just have to start looking up, don't they? Sure hope so.

Here's a pic of Jack that I hope will make you smile. He's saying "C'mon, Jen, don't be blue!"

And a pic of my sweety pie saying "Awww....so sorry to hear more bad news, Jen."

Auntie Jen...you can rub my tummy if you like? Will that make you feel better?

[RedHedd]

How about a flopsy-mopsy Mitzi to cheer you up? It always makes me smile to see her snockered out like this:

Hey Aguu, I didn't know that you had a Gerbil TV too!:D
(I love the dangling paw in the cage.);)
Here is a photo of Samantha enjoying her own Gerbil TV.

Samantha's advice for you Jen is to take a nap in the sunshine.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/vtcat/samsleep.jpg
That always works for her.;)

[jenluckenbach]

Such excellent pictures, and advice. :D:D

And for some reason I could not see the video :(:( And I bet it was fantastic, too.
