Hey Carol,

It’s Jill. I was signed in as Karen yesterday and sent you the post about Squeegie.

We never received your response. Please send it again to my blog.

I hope you’re having a great time in NY!

Hey Auntie Carol,

Would you consider adopting Weenie? Jill and I love him to death, but he chases Jill’s cat, Monkeybutt, and Jill is going crazy. She inadvertently disrupted the balance in the house and hates the fact her cat now hides. The best we can do is find a fabulous home for Weenie which would give us visiting rights…interested?

I hope New York is fun and you’re having a blast!

Jill and Karen

You were the first one to give me hope.

Keep up the fight, Carol. You are a true warrior.
