Good Afternoon & Happy New Year Anita,

The meds. have all been given to my babies & one of the smallest Izzy is still scratching.  I don’t understand with her weighing the least.

I have 2 more of the flea solution tubes except I am hesitant to give her any more.  I will wait 30 days.  I may bathe her if she won’t rip me to shreds.

I have always been able to bathe most of my babies until I found a groomer that would wash & shave them for $50.  I called 5 months after the last grooming for Izzy & Stash and the price went up to $150 each.  I asked the girl why such a hike and she said products.  All they use are clippers which I know have not gone up because I replaced mine a few months ago.

Shame on them for using this C-19 disease to rape people on prices.  Stash has been throwing up so many hairballs I may take him outside if it warms up to at least 60 degrees this week and shave him myself.  Blu has very thick short hair and Takeda has long beautiful fluffy hair and he does not throw up hairballs.

My Big Boy Stash is laying on my chest as I am writing & he looks so content.  It saddens me to imagine him gone.  I feel he was meant for me the second I saw him & he is part of my soul.  When it is his time I know part of me will go with him.

I just read there is a new article that China has a Highly Immune Evasive Omicron XBB.1.5 variant and is quickly becoming dominant in the U.S. as it doubles weekly.  Great, something else for the Feds. to keep their boring speeches and interest rate hikes killing the economy.  I don’t have T.V, glance at CNBC on the computer to see what disaster is keeping the Feds. with a high-paying job.

I lived in China and know how nasty it can be but this is getting rediculous.

I only go out when extremely necessary.  There is nothing I want for right now except some cereal & milk.  I have more cat food then anything else. (LOL) Chewy has fast delivery & they are so kind.  Great Company.

I’ll throw on a ball cap & sweatshirt and go to the store while everyone is home with hangovers from their New Year parties.  I was pet-sitting for 2 neighbors and didn’t leave my neighborhood.

Just a guess, I bet many will get sick in the coming weeks, and the News will blame on too many gatherings over the Holidays.

You sound like me my Friend, keeping to yourself, caring and loving the wildlife we have been given to watch and see how good-natured they are.  Animals kill for survival. humans kill for sport. The only reason I would ever kill or have an animal put to rest is if there was absolutely no way they could survive and were in pain.

Karma~ I really don’t care for many people. So many are self-centered and feel such entitlement which is not the way I was taught and I am thankful for my Precious Father bringing me up that way.

I Loved my Mother as deeply as my Father just in a different way.

I feel my Father & I are kindred souls~

Have a Beautiful 1st day of the year my Friend and you are always in my thoughts.

Shookie~
