Good news!

It looks like we're going to have a new member of the family, too.

We were out rollerblading yesterday afternoon and we saw a cat that appeared to have been hit by a car. We ran the cat to an emergency vet hospital where they basically told us it would cost $2500 to amputate the damaged leg.

Since we don't have that kind of cash just lying around, we spent most of the day trying to figure out what to do.

Last night, the vet called to tell us the hospital gave him permission to do the surgery himself after his shift was over. That brought the cost down to $500-$750, which we can afford (my gf is putting her entire tax refund toward it; she's the sweetest woman in the world).

My gf just called the hospital and he's awake and looking good.

I really want to do something to get the vet the recognition he deserves. I'm thinking about calling a local news outlet to see if they'll do a little "feel good" story on him.

That is a nice story. Congrats on your new pet!

Nope, he makes the evil eye right before he poops on me...

The chicken is growing WAY faster than I ever thought it would. I've looked for chicken info everywhere I can, but if anyone knows ANYTHING speak up! Help and advice is always welcome.

SuperChuck,

for the cat. We've adopted every dog and cat we have and also I found the little chick on the side of road, so I'm a big believer in helping animals.

He's precious SuperChuck. To bad I'm not a cat lover. My dog Casper's cat (his name is Nermal) is an attention hog. I tried to take Casper down to the Humaine Society to adopt another puppy, but he doesn't want anything to do with them. We did visit with 2 kittens he loved. My heart went out to one little one missing a hind leg. So now I've got to take Nermal down to see how they interact. Here's to hoping for a happy family after the new addition!
