He was 15 and lived a good life...we rescued him as a dying kitten. <BR/><BR/>We have finally risen above freezing and our street of solid ice is melting!

Living alone has its advantages — there's no pressure to avoid looking ridiculous as one sits reading in a sleeping bag in the middle of the day, hands in fingerless gloves, not much more than eyes and nose visible if anyone did peer in. And of course, if I'd wanted to build a fire outside there was no shortage of firewood after that storm, even if much of it was green.<BR/><BR/>But I know what you mean about insistent, threatening cold. It's that kind of grim, unrelenting weather that wears one down.

Living on the fringes of open country brings it home. Counting the days indeed. <BR/><BR/>Jan: Ah thanks. The food is only available on prescription via a vet unfortunately.
