MountainBard,

I have been a member here for less than 48 hours and you have replied to at least two of my threads offering sympathy and welcome. You are already appreciated by me.

I am sorry for your cats. My sister's cat - my sister has 3 dogs and a cat that I love like my own - was attacked by a coyote yesterday and she is now having surgery and hanging in the hospital. Pets are so dear to us and it is very hard to lose them or see them suffer.

At the end of July my family and I were forced to leave our guesthouse because the owner wanted to put his house up for sale. We have been living in hotels since, looking for a new place, so I know how you feel. I hope that you will be able to find a new place quickly and you will want to be there for a long time so that you can be done with this moving crap.
