Hi everyone - I just looove this list!!!! I know I haven't replied to everyone yet - I've been overwhelmed with tons of messages filled with kind words, wonderful poems/stories that offer condolences for the loss of our beloved Gushi. I will get back to everyone eventually but I wanted to make sure that you all knew how much we appreciate your kindness and that I will manage to get back to everyone as soon as possible. Knowing great folks like you make it much easier to get through rough times like this. Thank you again!!! On a lighter note, Geisha and Frodo are doing just great. Geisha is still her pretty and adorable self and plays regularly with Frodo even though there's no way she can keep up with his energy! When I take showers in the morning before work, I often the crew into the bathroom with me for a change of scenery and to let Jasper sleep in peace for a wee while longer. Well, one Sunday morning about two or three weeks ago, Jasper and I hopped out of the shower and had plopped Geisha and Frodo (Gushi was sleeping) into the tub to do their ritual tub licking ceremony. Jasper then pointed out something quite humourous to me. There *in* the bidet (sp?) beside the tub was a fairly large, fresh poopie!!! Well, I had to laugh - and we knew exactly would had done the deed! It was Frodo since Geisha's jumping/climbing abilities aren't all that great. We weren't sure what to think but eventually decided that this was quite smart of him and much better than him pooping in a corner somewhere. Sure enough about a week later, it happened again! I guess the bidet is about the same size of the litterbox, so Frodo figured that it was only logical to plop his poop there!! I'm waiting to see if this becomes a regular thing. Maybe he's not as ditzy as we thought! Well, thank you again everyone - give your kids extra hugs and kisses from all of us!
