Dearest Bootz-man~

My goodness--talk about a MONDAY! You'd better be good and not worry your daddy anymore!

Glad you don't hafta take the pills anymore but sorry that those ol' cells aren't up to speed. We'll be crossing paws, toes, fingers, and eyes until we hear everything is A-OK! (Sophie wanted to cross her back-legs too, but I advised against that.... ) Now--you keep everything UN-CROSSED 'n keep doin' yer bizniz.

{{Bootzerz}}

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Gosh, Boots, I'm so glad you did your pee in the cup thing and no more pills for a while. That will be really great!!! Leonardo, Leroy, Luke, Chester, and I will keep all fingers, paws, and tails crossed and keep puttin in a good word for you with the Big Guy until you are all 100% better, white cells and all. Please keep us updated and sneak a post when you can. You do real good on the 'puter.

[gini]

Boots, I am just hoping that as everything settles down in your life, no more pills, no more cone head, no more funny litter pan, that your blood count will settle down too.

You are a keeper!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Wow, what a week you've had Mr. Boots!

You really have to stop scarin' your dad, the doggiez and us! But you musta been real skairt if you didn eben com fur the "Temptshunz Baggy" shakin. Peanut always comes for that these days, but if she were real skairt, she wouldn't come eidder, so don't feel bad 'bout dat. Dem loud noizez can really be scarey if yer dad or the doggiez aren't there to tell you not to be skairt.

An you peed inna cup too! And had ta hold it aaaallllll the way home. Whew! That must've been a tuff one. Sorry to hear the white cells aren't what they should be, but hopefully you'll be fine now after everything calms down a bit.

Glad you're feeling better, and hopefully you're dad will get over this soz he takes you to the shop again soz you can give us uppydates on all your shenanigans.

[Randi]

How are you doing Boots? Have you been to the shop again? We hope you get to play on the puter soon and let us know how you've been! Just don't try the dissappering act again! There are lots of other ways you can keep your dad on his toes?

Keep drinking lots so you can pee big puddles in the sandy box - and report back when you get a chance!

Nosekisses and purrs from us,
Fister & his mum
