I agree with Mamie.
Go get that kitty!
Also, Tanny said she will be thinking of you all through this New Year and she wants to send you one thousand Christmas licks!

Come up North, Harris. Miss P already told you that cows are welcome at her holiday party. (As long as they wear those Santa hats).

As I get older the holidays get more emotional (and mostly depressing) for me too.

"It's the most wonderful time of the year"... so why do I feel so sad?

I've lost one of my best friends (three years ago), our lovely cat (a year and a half ago), and my mother is now very sick and spending her first "holidays" in an assisted living facility.

But as we're starting to put up our decorations, all I can think about is they won't be here with us anymore.

My father is coming to stay with us for the holidays this year, and that's making everything brighter, to be sure. And I'm lucky that I've met a few new friends this year that help me look to the future, instead of pining for the past.

But "nostalgia" is always part of the holiday season... and this year, for some like Elphaba and me, it's very bittersweet to look back.

Yes, Elphaba, go back and get the kitten. I know the pain of losing a pet, but there's nothing more joyous than giving a loving home to one who so needs it.

DG, your sentiments were beautifully said. Having lost two grandparents at Christmas time in '99 makes me think of the loss we all still feel, but the wonderful memories that are absolutely cherished.

Is the possiblility of getting a new cat in the cards? I think that would help.

I do know what you are going through. I was supposed to be getting a puppy for Christmas. Then the folks I live with decided that it wasn't the best time for a new dog in the house. (Three weeks after telling me that they didn't mind me getting one.) When they told me, I got really down. That started a snowball of missing my grandmother, missing home, missing my cat. My ex-girlfriend spent a lot of time talking me through it and I feel much better now. The holidays are difficult for a lot of people. You just have to remind yourself of the blessings in your life. Easier said than done.

Sending big hugs your way, Elphaba!

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

We had to have our little dog put down this past summer due to a heart condition.

Animals bring such comfort and joy to our lives.

I think it's so funny when RTFan pretends NOT to be a hate-mongering bigot who makes Jesus sick.

Not pretending. Not that I have to explain myself to you pal. I understand what it is to lose a loving pet.

And if you were able to show similar compassion toward your fellow human beings, Jesus would smile instead of reading your posts and puking.

For your info, He loves everyone. Especially those who even commit the worst sins. The biggest sin though is indifferance(next to abortion and homosexuality). He may not like the sin, but he loves the sinner.

Harris, Mamie is wrong. The cows don't have to wear the santa hats.

Elph, I totally understand. The holidays are a difficult time, and sometimes it can be difficult to ahead. I love living here, and know my life would be very different back home. Yet at this time, there's nothing I wish more than I could be closer to my folks.

At the same time, I am grateful of my folks and that I'm living my own life, the way they always wanted me to.

Elphaba-you are not alone. For so many people, the holidays are a sad time-for many different reasons. I think it sounds like you're due for a new pet. I know many people who lose a pet don't want to even think of getting another one right away. For me, I had to get one the next day. I couldn't stand to look at the empty bird cage. But I digress. The good thing is that the holidays end.

Hugs to you, Elphaba! That's as concise as I can be - otherpeople have said what I want to say, but more eloquently. Just know my sympathy and friendship is equally sincere.

I do have to agree with the others, Elph. Sweetpea's been gone for a little while now, and suddenly this imperious, insouciant kitty shows up in the adoption aisle at PetSmart? It sounds like kismet. Don't let the opportunity pass by.

I think the cat, is too much like Sweetpea, and that's why I can't get her.
I want something different if that makes any sense. I don't want to get one because it reminds me of Sweetpea.

I'm better today, kept busy. Thank you all for your kind words. You're a great bunch of people.

Elphaba - sending big hugs your way. We have the first holidays this year without my dear father in law (who was a ray of sunshine wherever he went - and I miss him dearly). I know it's hard. The best advice I can give is hang in there and appreciate the good things in life!

And oh, by the way - adopt that little gray baby (or another kitty baby) in the pet store. My kitties send their hugs too.

I understand what you're saying, Elph - but the gray baby is the one who needs a home right now. It needs you and you need it and (I've got to stop now before I start singing that maudlin song from Barney.)

Gray babies rule.

Not that I'm biased or anything. Only one of my babies is gray (the Russian Blue princess!).
