Bummers

We have heard sad news from Gus that Kitty-Boots, his 21 year old cat had to be euthanized. It became suddenly apparent he suffered from a tumor in his palette. This cat was a lanky, yellow vocal one. He gravelled meow in quick response to any conversation you gave him. If invited to your lap, he would roll over and stretch out for a belly rub with one leg up in the air - very therapeutic for the one giving the rub. (see blog of November 22, 2007)

More bad news from camping buddy Travis whose Susan took a bad spill at the local pharmacy entrance fracturing her knee - apparently "busting it up pretty bad". The doctor aspirated a lot of fluid and blood and ordered her bedridden for weeks. Trav listed a series of things she will not be able to do, and I suspect there will be a few more items he will find out are not on the list.
