Well, I've yet to see any conclusive proof that I'm not the

Picture Charlie, only mostly furry, and weighing about 8
pounds. THat's what his mood has been lately. He's been shaved
for the surgery, so he looks like he's part mexican hairless
cat. The left part, mostly. And he's got a bandage on but he
still thinks he can climb the couch and go on the porch and all
the things he could do with four fully functioning legs. And he
howls at us when he doesn't get his way. Oh, and because of the
hole in his mouth (cracked upper palate) he sneezes when he
drinks water. Chris is sending off the letter and paperwork
today, and we'll see what sort of a response we get. he's up to
2400 so far, with some follow up care still to come.
