MIne!

My Daughters cat. He decided I did not need to use my digitizer or the 28" monitor it was his area.:). We had to take hime to the Vet yesterday as his paw was infected. He cried all the way up and all the way back. He was really pisssed on the way back after the Vet poked and proded him. That was 1 hr up and 1 hr back in the pouring rain with construction on the roads..... What a trip. I found this out after I got back from delivering stuff to a friend. One day shot :). HAGD Folks. BTW he is my buddy today
