Thank you for the kind message Glen, and I've often thought the same ... I'm not sure we'd be here if his health was fine. And it's not lessening anything by looking at the good in things; it's what I try to do daily, but some days are more difficult than others :)

By the way, I'm kinda rooting against the whole cat shelter idea too now! I'll be going for carefree, because I think I deserve it :)

Thanks again Glen.
