Hi Nancy,

I've loved and lost many a pet. In another group, I am handling a good
part of the Jellicle Ball for this year. Loosely related to the 'CATS'
play of fame, it's shifted a lot and is a usenet thing that happens
every year. This is the 20th. There we revere all our past pets.

Since I adopt older pets with medical issues, I tend to lose them
sooner obviously but I feel good about a final real home since most
won't even think to take in a 10yo.

Iowna has been such a joy here! She was just shy of 11 when we got
her. Blind by age 9 of glaucoma, she's my first blind dog. She'll be
14 in July. She may not make 14 because of severe arthritis but so
far, Tramadol keeps her steady.

Carol
