    Hi Nancy, I just caught myself (jokingly/fondly) griping at Phred and thought I'd share.

    The backstory is that he'd often post photos of his pups but Boots the cat was a rarity. I'd often drop him a line and tell him "we need a Boots fix." His reply was always along the lines of "he runs from the camera" or "he won't look at the camera - turns his head." Now how hard could it be to snap a picture of a cat? (This question coming from a shutterbug with a diva of a cat.)

    So fast forward to last year. I lost my beloved diva cat, K'Cee, and adopted two kittens, Gus & Lizzie aka The (not so) Terrible Twosome. Gus is a BIG (15lbs) love of a cat; Lizzie is the can't-sit-still-always-getting-into-things bratty little sister. And guess what Little Miss Lizzie does when she sees a camera? Yep. She heads for the hills or immediately turns her head.

    I think this is revenge for all the times I pestered him for Boots pics.
    (She's even a tux cat like Boots was. Yep, definite revenge. lol)

    I too think of Phred often and miss him here. He went out his way to give me advice when Fister was blocked up - Boots had had the same happen shortly before.

    When I say Phred was THE pillar of Pet Talk, I think most agree and no one be offended. He was also a huge part of the funny threads and I almost died laughing when he posted to these threads.

    I choose to believe he's met all the cats and dogs who have departed to the RB, along with my dear John and Fister - and of course our Gini.
