First off, I am thrilled to hear that Fister is doing so well. All of you have been through a lot and I know how you worried about his health while you were on vacation.

The second thing that strikes me - is that if a neighbor had made too much noise in the middle of the night and continually woke you up - you wouldn't be too pleased. But when it is our dearly loved pets - we have patience and understanding in unlimited quantities.

It sounds as though the three of you had quite a night. But he may have learned a few new things that he likes - spending time with John under the cozy covers sounds pretty reassuring.

I am just glad that he is back to his old self - the old cone is gone and he is once again KING OF THE CASTLE!!
