More good news

I was at the Rams/Packers game on Sunday and of course I was one of the many cheeseheads that outnumbered Rams fans, so I got a kick out of finding this little joke in my in box.  So read it quick, then we'll get back to cats.

John Elway, after living a full life, died.  When he got to heaven, God was showing him around.  They came to a modest little house with a faded Broncos flag in the window.
 
"This house is yours for eternity, John," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

John felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house.  On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner.  It was a 3-story mansion with a Green and Gold sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Packers logo flag, and in every window, a Cheesehead!

John looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I won 2 Super Bowls, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."

God said "So what do you want to know, John?"
"Well, why does Brett Favre get a better house than me?"

God chuckled and said "John, that's not Brett Favre's house, it's mine."

After posting about Calypso this morning, I got another update on the 2 skunk babies that got to go home together.  They're doing really well, here's an excerpt from the letter she sent me:

Angie,
   I just wanted to send you an update on Lucy and Livy. What a pair 
they are. They are growing in all ways...physically, socially, and 
emotionally. Livy is quite the "pet" and can immedicately sense that 
there is a lap available and comes immediately to be petted and loved 
on. Lucy is still a bit more reticent but always joins us after a 
bit. They are both sleeping in bed with us, as is Katrina, our dobie. 
The three of them get along very well and there has been no 
antagonism from any  of them. Lucy and Livy play together and sleep 
together in a pile during the day. They love to bat things thru the 
house and have their own "hockey" rules. You can give them two 
objects to play with but they much prefer the game they play with 
"one"...taking turns batting it and chasing it.  We laugh daily at 
their antics and they have brought us so much joy. We are so glad 
that we took the two of them. The Christmas tree intrigues them and 
they often perch in the window behind it. They casually bat at some 
of the ornaments but quickly stop if scolded. I  hung things there 
that are not breakable so, no harm, if they do manage to knock 
something from the tree.

I just love it when people adopt a pair of siblings!  They never regret having 2 of them! 

I've spent the morning cleaning cat stuff in the basement and I have news about Mary.  She did something today that I've never seen her do - she played!  I was so happy to see that.  Usually on her little jaunts around the basement during exercise time she is wobbly and a bit unsteady, but I think we're finally getting a handle on her blood infection and she is just looking and feeling so much better.  In fact, a big part of what I've been doing today is for her.  I'm working on doing a big shift in living arrangements so that Mary can have a big walk-in cage and if they'll get along, Uno will move in with her.  They're both making such good progress, I'm really pleased!  I'm hoping to get new pictures of everyone after the holidays.  Mary is looking like a real cat now!
