Dear So and So

[limewave]

Dear mother,

I appreciate your concern regarding my back/hip pain. I know you have suffered from back pain for years as well and chose to have back surgery. That was your decision. For me, chiropractic care really seems to be making a difference. Yes, the back pain does reoccur, but its not nearly as severe as it used to be. Losing some weight, doing strength training and running have really helped. If my choice is going to the chiropractor every six weeks for the rest of my life OR having back surgery: I choose the chiropractor.

I know you don't agree. You've made that clear.

Dear Calypso,
You are the shame of PNW kitties, and you are a PNW kitty now. I gave you some nice fresh salmon for dinner, so why did you turn your nose up at it? This is much better quality than what comes in a can.

I'm sorry, but this isn't shrimp, crawfish, or sac-au-lait (Cajun for crappie) country.

Your Mom, who doesn't want another fussy eater. What did Bonnie tell you before she crossed the Rainbow Bridge?

Dear hospital billing depatrment and health insurance company customer service rep:

Are you serious about sending us a bill for $4000 for the emergency room visit? That time after my DH had that hit and run accident that fractured part of his scapula? I sincerely hope there is a misunderstanding, because what else we were we supposed to do at 10:30 at night besides go to an emergency room? Isn't that why I have hundreds of dollars deducted from my paychecks every month?

We will be in getting in touch with you Monday morning about this....

Grrrrrr

Yeah, isn't that annoying? We have a large, active cat with a healthy appetite, who eats or at least checks out everything that falls on the floor - raisins, scrap of lettuce, garlic, you name it - and who wolfs down every kind of dry cat food as if there were no tomorrow. But when we give her salmon scraps as a treat she sniffs and nibbles, and licks a little, and looks at us, and lets most of it be. Silly cat, you're supposed to be a predator.

Raisins are poisonous for cats, so keep those away from her.

miss ike not only looks at us disdainfully if we offer her anything resembling real meat or fish, but will silently and efficiently bury all the way around anything on the floor or in her dish she doesn't approve of. All this on a tile floor. Now the dogs on the other hand.......
