Ok here is a picture of me with one of my cats - Bear - who likes to ride around on my shoulders. He jumps up there by himself and usually makes it in one leap - however there have been a few times when he scrambles - and I have the clawmarks to show for it, hehehe. I don't have any of Joe and me saved in this format yet - don't have a lot of us together as it is usually one of us taking the photos :) - but I need to do some, so maybe I'll post some later.

and here I am with all of them together on the bed:

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Both Bee and I are allergic, and we're planning to inherit a cat from his parents. And get allergy shots. :D

I don't need anyone to straighten me out...but thanks for caring so much. <_<

Awesome pics of everyone here. Mine are in "My Photos"... I don't really know how to post them, nor do I have the energy to figure it out :P

I love coming here mostly for the same reasons as everyone else. I feel 100% comfortable asking questions here that I may think are stupid, knowing full well that everyone in the Canada forum is extremely helpful and supportive.

It is also nice to just feel at home with others who have basically the same kind of sense of humor, and who also are going through the same process and are able to give advice based on their own experiences.

And last but not least....HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've decided that the Canada Forum is the only place I'll post from now on. TOO MUCH DRAMA in the other places and so many sarcastic judgmental people as well. I've always received kindness here and no one seems to mind answering questions for newbies. Here we are...me and my beloved...and our daughter. :wub:
