Kind of you to take him in. <br /><br />The thing in Connecticut... it leaves the soul cold doesn't it? I haven't had much motivation to blog either. I've been commenting some but haven't blogged since- wow, December 9- which isn't a terribly long time except I hadn't intended to vacate- I just haven't felt like blogging. I don't know when I will either.

I should add a note about Toby, after that incident we decided we could not keep him. He's gone temporarily to the nearest family member (our friend had very little family here) who is looking for another home for him. We don't blame him, he was only following his instinct, but knowing what he is capable of we would spend each day wondering when another cat would stray too close.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-47491056059482687202012-12-18T11:34:01.725-08:002012-12-18T11:34:01.725-08:00Hi Ian,

A most thoughtful gesture to have his dog be added to your cast of treasured family members.<br /><br />After such an horrific event you allude to, somehow we hope that such tragedies, such evil, will never touch are beleaguered hearts again.<br /><br />I know you rejoice in the adventure that you and your loved ones share on beautiful Vancouver Island. May you have a peaceful, positive Christmas, my friend. <br /><br />Penny the Jack Russell dog on behalf of her human, Gary...klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-1216647027891684712012-12-18T10:44:52.998-08:002012-12-18T10:44:52.998-08:00Sorry about your friend.

Good of you to take his dog, although at what a cost.<br />If your family is healthy and with a roof over their heads, then look at that as a blessing.Alex J.

Maybe it happens to make you appreciate all the good things there still are in your life, I don't know, but it really stinks when it happens. I hope that things settle down for you now and that you will be able to find some of the peace and joy of the season as you break bread around the table together. Oh yes, and the dog????? I wouldn't be keeping any creature like that around the house...if it will kill a cat who knows what it is capable of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-187196080664314382012-12-17T23:36:45.947-08:002012-12-17T23:36:45.947-08:00Hi Ian .. oh dear - I am sorry about your friend a...Hi Ian .. oh dear - I am sorry about your friend and his family.
