OK, just a quick spammy little topic to mention that I'm proud of my wife for making the front page of section II of our local paper, having been extensively interviewed for this article:

Special-needs cats need homes, too

And, just so I wasn't outdone myself, I had to get in on it too, with the pro bono ad I did to advertise the adoptions.

Sometimes...

There you have it!

Hey, that's great! It's a good cause and an interesting subject. You never really think of animals having permanent disabilities.

Anyway, it's good to see your name in print, or your wife's name, or whatever. smile.gif

Well, since I never said that, it's hard to say.

No, of course it's not. I myself have been in there several times over the years for soccer and academics, and I'm sure I've had family members in the police blotter section.

and I'm sure I've had family members in the police blotter section.

Ok, because that was (similar to) what I was thinking.
I vaguely remember something, but I'm not sure exactly what it was.

Hey, do ya'll have room for one more cat?
