woohoo, I just got a call about a possible job in Littleton- I haven't scared them off yet so that is good. I am off work today and am stranded at home because I have taken my car in to get a new master cylinder. I also took Simon into the vet this morning for his annual shots. He did a pretty good job because we were the only people/animals in the office at the time. But still he made these noises when the vet was handling him like he was possessed and his head was getting ready to spin around- poor guy. I have never seen him scurry into his carrier as fast as he did after his shots. Any thing to get home away from the man with the hands.
And I did better this time too. Last time he got his shots in bloomington, he sounded so scared that I got tears in my eyes and had to turn away from the vet. Even though I know he is ok, I can't stand to hear the kitty terror in his little cat screams. I just love the darn feline. He is now over 6 years old. I've had him since my junior year of college. I remember when I first got him from the shelter and he was still a kitten. I had classes the next day and had to leave him in the apt. alone--or with Keith-my roommate's nutty video obsessed vegan mustached boyfriend. I walk/ran all the way home from class to check on the little kitten. I wish more people would get their pets from animal shelters. So many people have to give up pets or lose pets for one reason or another.
Here he is with me as I am trying to wrap up a book to mail off this morning. He has to be in the middle of everything.

I remember Simon in his "fast food" window at your University St. apartment with your sister. That was a long time ago.
Good memories.....thanks for sharing.
Make sure you let us know right away if you hear from Littleton.

I still remember when we (you) got him declawed in the front and he padded around on bloody paws all over the kitchen floor at the red brick apartments home....we felt so horrible. they were the cutest bloody footprints we had ever seen though, right? -tara
