Does he perhaps have one leg shorter than the other? How sad, and yet how inspiring that you would select as a secret friend someone with a handicap. B.

Rei, that's a great cat picture. All this fuzzy talk about the cats and dogs who share your lives through sickness and health, sorrow and joy; it's wonderful, but it makes me so sad. And when I'm sad I want to lash out at people. I can't help myself. As much as I've tried, I just can't take a liking to our little furry friends. Maybe I shouldn't say this because you people might laugh at me, but when I was a child in grammar school, I would cry after show-and-tell because everybody would pet and scratch the little hamsters, kittens, and opossums that were brought in, but nobody would scratch my head. It made me sad, so I used to pinch the little hamsters on the nose so they couldn't breath. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me, because everything is going to change. I have a secret friend. I've had him for a awhile, but I didn't want to tell anyone because I thought people might laugh. When I'm sad he lies next to me and I scratch his little head. I love that he needs me. He's so much better than a dog or cat or hamster. He's a real friend who needs me as much as I need him. My friends on the LUG are the first to meet him: http://photocritique.net/g/s?00k9cn Allan On Thursday, May 9, 2002, at 06:25 PM, Rei Shinozuka wrote: > God bless you guys. my 18 year old cat chowder head was in the > animal hospital for a week after being sick for some time. they really > fixed him up (for the price of a new M7). here he is as he was > 15 years ago: http://www.shinozuka-family.com/oldphotos/chowspot.JPG > > but you vets are just wonderful people, in my experience quite a bit > more personable than the people doctors i've met. :-) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
