Went to the vet's office pick up a bag of Hill's x/d for Persia. One of the
techs came up front, spotted it on the counter and said, "Hey! You must be
Persia's mom!" G Then she proceeded to tell me how much she loves Persia,
and Peaches, too! She did tell me something I hadn't realized. When they
take Persia out and let her roam around in the 'cat room' while they clean
her kennel, she heads straight for *her* carrier as if to say, "I'm going
home!" That sort of breaks my heart.

aw, Jill. That broke my heart reading that too. I wonder how our
furbabies really feel when they are put in a kennel and don't see us for
some time. The sense of abandonment they must feel. I don't really know
if this is true, or if they really have no sense of time passing or
what. Or maybe Persia just recognizes her carrier and goes to it because
it's something familiar? Poor babies, but we all need our time to
ourselves too. :(

Awww, poor Persia, getting her hopes up. :( But sooner or later, it does
come true, at least!

But OTOH, it's good to know that the people there love her.

Persia is just the smartest girl! When I boarded Betty last year, she
was surprisingly the opposite - she was excited to see me, but still
didn't want to get into her carrier.

When I picked up Rusty from boarding at the vet's clinic, he often had a
bald spot on his
nose. They told me thats from him rubbing his nose against the cage. I
presume he
tried to escape from jail. It made me feel so guilty about going out of town
and
leaving him at the vet's.

Sometimes, though, you just gotta go. I don't have anyone who can pet-sit
for me (and no, I wouldn't trust a stranger, even from an "agency") with a
key to my apartment.
