Me Again...

*Blessings to the family of Christopher Reeve. Superman is flying again. Rest in peace.* Forgot a few things. Yes, I know that since I've gotten my new computer that I've been posting out the ass. Deal. I've never heard anyone complain because some posts TOO MUCH. Anywho, I did have my Napoleon fixed last week. He's doing just fine. Back to his old self, just without a couple of things. Actually, no, I can't say he's back to his old self. If anything, he's more loving. The expression on his precious face the first time he saw me was one of love and relief. I didn't think of it before but he's never been away from home. He's always been with me and Nate. For six months, he's lived in the same house, same humans, very little outside contact. Then I took him to be kenneled overnight, then he was put to sleep, operated on and no mommy. Love his heart. The clinician said when she said his name he came right to the edge of the cage but when he saw it wasn't me, he retreated and turned his back on her. Not so when he saw me. He burrowed into my shoulder and purred, rubbing his head at times across my chin as I talked shop with the vet folks. Walking this weekend, I realized that I'm not doing enough. Why wait until a special ocassion to make a difference? I know the vet's office that I took Napoleon to has a rescue program so I volunteered to help with that program. Not sure if I will be able to help but I can try. I know though, that the most important way I can make a difference is by starting at home. There's no reason not to include Nate in what I do and spending our time together doing something a little worthwhile than playing video games. It doesn't have to be an all consuming thing, but even the smallest effort can yield big rewards. Remember... he who saves a single life, saves the world entire.
