Another update - see #21 - I'm back in DE

[Catty1]

Pom!

Your niece has lots of community resources to help her 'get back on her feet'. I am glad you bailed out.

I really hope your back hardware can be successfully repaired. The only good thing about it is that you had a "reason" to not work for your niece any more.

Take good care, prayers for great driving weather.

It's great to hear from you Ellie! I'm glad you went back to DE. You didn't seem very happy in NC from your posts. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers that all goes well with your surgery. Keep us posted when you can.

Welcome HOME, Ellie! And Wolfy! And hey ya, Luke and un-named sister kitten! Glad you are hard at work, getting those 2 old crabby ladies in touch with their inner kitten!

Prayers for the back issues, Ellie.

I'm so glad to hear from you. Sorry things didn't work out. Sending you lots of prayers and positive thoughts.

So glad to finally hear from you Pom-although I'm sorry to hear things didn't work out with your niece and your back injury does not sound too good. Hopefully now that you have gotten in touch with your own "hunk" (doctor) he can get you back in shape .

Glad you bailed out and came back HOME---nobody deserves to be treated like a built in housekeeper.
Just can't wait to hear all about the "Wolfman" and your two kitties.

Get some much needed rest, we'll be waiting for the next news. Did you ever think of writing a book about all your experiences and your fur friends-just might be worth looking into that.

Hi, Pom! I am glad to hear from you! I'm so sorry about your back and I hope the weather will cooperate for your appointment on Thursday. Hi, Wolfy and brother-kitten Luke! I thought I read somewhere that Luke's sister kitty's name is Leia, but I could be wrong. I am sending you bunches of kisses, hugs, snuggles and lovies ! Please take good care of your mommy for me!

Thanks for the warm welcome back. Yes Elise, Luke's sister's name is Princess Leia. She's a tiny little girl with the beautiful coloring and soft fur of a chinchilla, but still keeps up with the others in spite of her diminutive size. Luke is more stripey - silver and black, and the white outlining his eyes makes him look like he has eyeliner on - so pretty. The other sib that my son has is a boy - black head and legs and muted stripes - also silver and black. He really is the cutest of the 3 - a round pie face and short little legs - a very sturdy little guy. His name is Harley (like the motorcycle), because he purrs so loud. They all have, or are getting, long hair. The other 2 littermates that went to other homes, were brown and orange stripe tabbys. These 3 silver and black babies had to have gotten their coloring from somewhere back in the line of one of the parents since mom was a brown stripe tabby and daddy was an orangeman. Leia does have a very small orange spot on her chest, and also some orange on the underside of one of her hind legs.

And me write a book on the NC experience.????? - it would be an epic horror story. I'm certain that a great deal of you would think I'm making most of it up and exaggerating to the max, but what little I said here was only the very tip of a large and dirty iceberg. Some things are better left unsaid. The only thing that I can post here on a forum of all ages, is that my niece seriously needs help - both physically and mentally. Like is said - you can't un-ring the bell - but I sure can bury it.

And it's a good thing I switched my doctor appointment from today, until Thursday. We had more snow overnight and it probably would have been treacherous going so early in the morning. Getting out of the driveway would have been an effort all by itself, since it's still solid ice under the snow, and of course the snow plows throwing up new snow at the end of the drive, just added more of a challenge. Oh well - I've suffered this long, so what's 2 more days????

Welcome back, Pom!! I am so sorry to hear about how busy your life has been and in not so good ways and glad you are back in DE where you're much happier. I can't imagine living with someone you just do not get along with, must have been terrible. Also really sorry to hear about your back It must be in such pain! I hope you get whatever you get done quickly and painlessly. I was unaware of you getting two kittens. They must be precious. Also we'd love to see some more Wolfy Pics

I haven't been on much either, sorry things didn't work out. I had my gastric bypass on 9/12, down 97 pounds! I exercise 1 to 2 hours a day and I am feeling great, sorry about your back problems that is rough.
