that is very sad . It's almost harder sometimes to separate with our pets than people . Congrats on the new baby, had my first, she is 20 months now. just a blast and has total control of the dogs already LOL.

Oh Christina..I am so sorry to hear that!!! How sad!!!

It is soooo hard Ange, and i have to do it again too. i have 2 beautiful cockatiels, the loves of my life, that i have to sell. With a baby on the way, there is no room or time for them anymore. I"ve had them for almost 2 years, i hand fed them when they were babies, my little boy says "peekaboo" and "whatcha doooinn" and "pretty boy". Hard to give that up.

donnamusica - I 'll enjoy all the fancy avatars tomorrow but it took me to the very peak of my powers to get my non-singing, non-dancing, static avatar onto the site. Wonder what all you creative types will come up with?

Good luck Leelamaria!!! Was there an election today or was this some kind of unexpected political event..I know things were rocky there for a while!
Good side.. Scotland will be serving delicious pasta

I just went to the game archive - this is the 8th impossible game this month

The Italian Government has just fallen.......again! If Berlusconi takes power, there will be alot of Italians headed for Scotland!

Giggy is a cute name for a cat. Sounds cute too.

By the way tomorrow is the wedding...australia time. Come in your finest formal duds in avatar !!

Friend of mine has a boxer pup named Reggie..he is a cutie. They are nice dogs! My cat is gigolo or giggy lol Named for this bad toupee looking section of black fur on top of his all white head.

Luigi...I'm confused. Are you Italian, Scottish, Scottish/Italian or just a citizen of the world.

I love dogs but my husband loves cats...so we've got cats! Paloma (Spanish for Dove) which doesn't seem such a good name for a cat (unless it's true that you are what you eat!), makes her bed on the computer and is snuggled up at my elbow as usual right now. She's a marbled blend of black, grey, orange and white and is making contented noises in her sleep as though she enjoys me writing about her.
