I just returned from bringing Baby to BB&B so Johanna could take him home with her, along with a kitty tent, litterbox, food, dishes, the works. Of course I cried all the way up and all the way back, but deep in my heart I know I'm doing the right thing. When I signed on, MooShoo climbed up in my lap and is now sleeping and purring away as I type.

I think one of the reasons why this has affected me so much is because Baby is the spitting image of my RB Casey "Bubba Dude".

Baby will have a wonderful big room all to himself (compared to my telephone booth sized bathroom) with lots of windows and will be well cared for, as I have no doubt Johanna adores animals (she's into Greyhound rescue and has 6 of her own). She assured me that Baby and the dogs will not come in contact with each other. He's used to dogs as the last place he lived in had a Golden Retriever.

Catty1,

You're right. I think losing Winkie on top of all this really doesn't help. I still have yet to break his tank down.

I'm tired and all cried out, so I will say goodnight for now. Thanks everyone for your kindness and support. I couldn't have done it without you.
