    I have a confession to make...

    I am SUCH a bad person!! While cleaning out my car, I found Carl the Cone in my trunk. So sad. He had his official PT tuxedo and name tag on, and he was all scrunched up amidst the "stuff".

    I left him on the side of the road where I found him SOOOO many years ago with a pole up his butt. We didn't speak. He looked at me with this positive expression, like he knew he had a job to do. With tears in my eyes, I asked him to please forgive me, waved good-bye to him and said I'd miss him.

    I know, you're all saying that there's a place in hell for someone as cruel as I am for not taking him to CT with me. But there are SO many other cones out there that need homes. I'm sure I'll come across one someday.

    Donna, here's a cyber {{{{HUG}}}} (I wish I can do it in person) and an "all is forgiven" to you and I'm sure Charlie the cone will forgive you, too!

    Now, Donna I have a confession to make! I'm sorry I called him "Charlie" instead of "Carl". Wasn't thinking!

    Don't feel bad Donna - just as you have said goodbye to YOUR cone, two baby feral cones have just been rescued in Bahrain:

    Here is Connor welcoming the new additions:


    And here are the proud rescuers!

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    Okay, now you've got me curious. I don't know Carl's history. Can anyone point me to a thread that explains how Carl came to live with Donna?
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Oh Donna, how could you? What about Camille, the twins?????
    How can you look at this picture and not just beat yourself up? (picture taken by Phred).

    I can't help but feel sorry for poor Carl

    Well that does it Donna, I am throwing a huge GUILT BOMB in your direction!

    Are you really saying that poor Carl lived in your trunk all of this time?
    I bet he was thrilled to get out of there and get some fresh air.

    Now, is that enough guilt for you???

    Did you make sure he was spayed and neutered before you let him go feral again?
