"Welcome to Michigan" alexsattic's Profile

A good friend lost...

Alex is the furface I used as my profile pic when I started this page. He had gotten lost and found me the day I was moving in to my new home. He lived with me for almost 10 years. He was a good friend and I miss him dearly.

After having been lost for two weeks when he was only six months old, he never wanted to go outside again. And why should he? He had a very good life inside. He willingly assisted with 11 other cats that I brought home or in, fixed them up and found homes for. The last one stressed us both out and so we kind of gave up being a temporary cat shelter.

Almost two years ago (July 4), his kidneys failed but with help from the vet to get them functioning again, he lived another year and 1/2. This past year his kidney function had been slowly declining but there was not much we could do for him but keep him comfortable. On March 26, his kidneys failed again for the last time. When I came home that day I found he had passed away.

I'm going to keep his picture here as a little memorial and as a reminder that if you're willing to take some risk and get out of your own neighborhood, you'll find some good people that will love and care for you.

Still hoping to update soon....

Okay, it's been a year since I updated my home page. I had planned to update at least each season but that didn't happen. This fall we jumped right from summer to winter, or at least it feels like it. We've already had two days of snow but of course it is still too warm for it to stay.

I'll be adding a lot of pictures and information to my travel pages during this winter. Please come back and visit often.

Above is a picture a friend of mine took from the Balloon fest near Albuquerque New Mexico USA. It was my favorite so I wanted to highlight it until I get time to do more updating.
