Glad to see the update, hun, but so sorry for all the crud you've been going through!!

You mentioned the "katrina pair." Did you adopt dogs who were rescued from Hurricane Katrina? The cat I have is also a Katrina cat...and when I went to adopt her from the shelter, thre was a whole roomful of cats that were in isolation until they were ready to be adopted.

As for the murderer.....I'll just stop there before my tongue gets away from me.
