Well, shortly after Daddy decided he would let the cat stay and brought her inside, he took her to have her spayed. He left her overnight. After the vet had put her to sleep to do the surgery, he discovered she had already been spayed. I don't know why she had to be put to sleep before they discovered that. She is a good companion to my sister as she was to Daddy. She has an extra toe on her paws and likes to use her claws. <BR/>Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-39511059926653296652008-07-04T14:48:00.000-04:002008-07-04T14:48:00.000-04:00My daughte is like that.

So of course I remembered right away the Dear Abby advice you mentioned, and in fact have never forgotten it. So much wisdom flowed from that advice column over the years.<BR/><BR/>The lady you describe here is nothing less than a modern day heroine. The world so badly needs many more like her.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who cares for animals gets my vote. Peacocks too? That is most intriguing.<BR/><BR/>Now as for the birdbath award, your comment made me smile! Anything I see that embodies the spirit of the birdbath chronicles will be, shall we say, duly rewarded! tee hee....<BR/><BR/>Happy Independence day to you, from your Canadian neighbour to the north..Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810442216887536113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412565310065277929.post-88718380529057659112008-07-04T10:06:00.000-04:002008-07-04T10:06:00.000-04:00Your friend is just the kind of person we need in ...Your friend is just the kind of person we need in this world!
