Gini is correct. Zippy-kat and I had a nice long phone conversation a few days ago, she was at the time contemplating not one but two 15-page papers due, wondering about a job interview, and still dealing with her friend's death, about which she said she's doing okay, the grief comes in waves, but she's dealing with it. Piper is growing and up to ten pounds - so different from the diminuative Miss Sophie (and Miss Hoppy) in so many ways ... I'm sure she'll check back in when life calms down abit.
