Hopefully, a new PetTalk's member!

Hello, Randi! How nice to find you here I´ve just switched on my PC, and then rushed for PetTalk... I´ve missed you these two days (THIS IS REALLY ADDICTIVE!)

Now, the account on Neelix... He seems fine, as I told you, though he is FAT I´ll have to ask for some advice on diets and exercise ... I haven´t been able to take him to the vet yet, for nothing opens on Thursday and Friday (Easter) but I´ll call a Vet to come home tomorrow (I think I can´t take Neelix out from his new home now, he´s in shock and I couldn´t bear seeing him in distress again!) Anyway, he´s isolated, as we´ve taken him to my boyfriend´s house (the one with the patios ) and Sirocco is still in my flat.

I was supposed to take Neelix on Wednesday, but the ex-owner could not find him... Neelix just knew something was going on and escaped... We had to wait. I couldn´t sleep well, thinking that anything horrible could have happened to Neelix ... However, next morning the owner phoned me and told me that he had come back, and that I could go and take him... Well, it was really sad, I ended up crying with the former owner as we put Neelix in the carrier. That moment I realized, most than ever, the responsability that having a pet involves. Then we arrived to Neelix´s new home (and mine, if everything goes right ) and he was really scared, it just broke my heart seeing the poor thing who wouldn´t dare to go out from the carrier.. It took a few hours to make him explore a little, and then he hid under the bed! He is still very frightened but he slept in the bed with us and purred a lot this morning. He´s also eaten a bit, and we´re waiting to see him, er.. ,well, do his business

These last days have been very stressful both for Neelix and me, but I hope everything ends fine!! I´ll keep you updated, and I think it´ll be good news !! Neelix has his vet documentation (I mean, the account on shots, illnesses and medical treatment) up to date, and everything is normal and fine... by the way his birthday is 19th March (only ten days ago !) and he´s two years old now.

I´ll try to post a picture soon (I could only take a picture of a black shape under the bed now) but I can tell you he looks very much like Tubby, Today´s COTD!!!!

Thank you for your concern and for being there!!
