[QUOTE="Shari, post: 429823, member: 1848"] Step, I love the names for your critters. Too funny. Flutter, I had forgotten you had the dog, too! Andy, it sounds like you got a great puppy. To not cry all night the first night there? Awesome. She sounds so sweet. Hazoi, what a tiny kitten! We had one that small once (born to a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) cat!) but it did not survive. Was very cute, tho. Mattsmom - so you're saying that your manx is a difficult child cat? Am I hearing that correctly??? lol Our fuzzbutts (do we have a max post length???) Wee has a cat, Tickadee, an orange tabby male, that I really do think has some neuro issues.
