and

Wow, what a busy girl I've been! Received a nice long email from my sister, Nancy and I'm still savoring that. Then I bopped into my other sister, Roni, on MSN Messenger and had a nice chat with her. Ah, the world has changed, LOL.

Working working working. Hired some new people and spending lots of time training them. Been shopping and picking out interior stuff for the new center. OMGoodness, this move might actually happen.

I've gotten to spend a little more time with Larry lately, which is great. He's been helping me with our call center computers and other IT type stuff. In his spare time .

So much to do with this group or that, this web page or that, run here, go there.... CALGON! Tomorrow I'm going to the hairdresser to touch up that red head and see if I can't come up with a change in hair style while I'm at it. Nothing like a little "me time" to destress.

Oh, I've received a bunch of gifts, I'll try to get them all online somewhere for you :D here's a couple -- Thanks LINE!

Awww what a tough day! We quietly said goodbye to our Tiny Tim Tim today. Timothy was one of our babies, a littermate to LC our National Breed Winner and Regional Winner. Tim Tim had such a rough little life and was always the sweetest guy.

As a baby, five months old, Timothy was a thriving little show cat in the making one day and paralyzed from the neck back the next. We found him laying on the floor under our bed unable to move or feel much behind his ears to his tail. We rushed to the Vet hospital trying to figure out how he could have fallen and been where he was and sure we would be having him put to sleep that day.

It turned out he wasn't injured in anyway and all sorts of tests and specialists couldn't find any cause for the problem. With some very aggressive treatment with steroids he regained full use of all of his limbs in about 4 weeks. Every attempt to wean him off the massive doses of prednisone would cause a total relapse. He was always a tough little fighter though and would strive to get well.

So, for his short life (5 1/2 years) Tim has been a very special little guy. He was remarkably strong, and sweet as could be. He loved Larry and adored his brother, LC. This spring he has struggled first with a little cold and then a general decline. This past week has been rough, the paralysis was returning, he was weak and lost his appetite and seemed unwilling to try and go on. Yesterday, he became unable to move around well and so this morning Larry and I decided to say goodbye to our Tim Tim and let him gently cross the Rainbow Bridge.

You can see pix of Tim and his brother LC and sister Trixie and others on the kitty blog. We are all very sad today.

On a much much lighter note, there are new goodies for you both in blog adopts and my main adopt shop (link to the right).
