I know it's April 1st, but. . .
We got home today from running errands and found a notice in the mail.
Apparently, Rob is supposed to show up for jury duty on May 10th. I called up the court house and told them that I was willing to have Rob's ashes delivered to the court house for duty, but I didn't think they'd get a straight answer out of him. They apologized and said that they'd take care of it and not to worry. I'm half hoping that they put out a warrant for his arrest for not showing up. I'd like to see them try to serve it. On the cat front, the lot are wigging out with the spring weather. Smokey and Salem have been entertaining us all (especially Will) by losing their footing and sliding down the hall and into the wall. Normalcy, thy name is not Shirk. Pam S |

Pam S That must have been painful to receive. I'm glad you were able to keep your sense of humor. The last year of my husband's life, he was out of work. About two months before he died, he had gone for a job interview. Shortly after that, he because too ill to work if he had a job. Two weeks after he died, I received a call from the company he had interviewed, offering him a job. Joy |

Pam S That must have been painful to receive. I'm glad you were able to keep your sense of humor. I concur. Word does tend to trickle down slowly, particularly when it comes to government entities. I still get junk mail and phone calls for my parents. The last year of my husband's life, he was out of work. About two months before he died, he had gone for a job interview. Shortly after that, he because too ill to work if he had a job. Two weeks after he died, I received a call from the company he had interviewed, offering him a job. Joy That must have been very painful, too. But an honest mistake. You may remember after my father died my mother got a "sympathy card" that turned out to be an offer of a discount for a massage at a spa in town. That was just downright cruel. I didn't even show it to her. I went on their web site and made some scathing comments about trolling obituaries to drum up business. Tacky, tacky, tacky. Jill |

*I'm half hoping that they put out a warrant for his arrest for not showing up. *I'd like to see them try to serve it. So would I! We had an outbreak a couple of years back of parking tickets when we don't even have a car! And a court summons was served. Dave phoned the court and said he wasn't the person on the summons and recieved the answer "You would say that wouldn't you?!" They were all for charging him for giving a false name at the time of his arrest! Our friend Tel knew the name it was someone he'd been to school with and we were within 10 seconds able to find their address and phone number (they lived just up the road) and that they lived there- I called up and asked for them, I took this information to our local magistrates court and they thanked me for it but surely they could have checked it themselves?! It's not like we're not on the electoral register! The other court had told Dave he would have to appear before the magistrate and swear an oath he wasn't the person and that it would cost about £50!

It's the one nightmare every medical secretary has- calling up and finding the patient has died- you really don't know what to say but it does happen. Has happened to me once- I hope never again Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

My one complaint with my vet was after Fugazi was PTS I got a cheery letter that started by thanking me for "entrusting us with the care of your beloved pet" and "hoping for many happy and healthy years together". If the vet hadn't been so good I would have taken my business elsewhere and I told them so! They're now a lot more careful about new patients..... The other good local vet (Whom I would use if Kylie went back to Oz) is where I sometimes buy my "Hills" and I remember going in one afternoon and the nurse was sniffing into a tissue and I said "Are you okay?" and she said "Bad morning" so I asked why and said "I have to do 8 put to sleep cards this afternoon" Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

(My guess would be an unfortunate clerical error.) On several occasions, over the years, when I had to have a pet PTS I got a very nice sympathy card from the vet's office, signed by all their employees. |

After Nanki-Poo had to be PTS, they also sent me a little plaster cast of his paw print, with his name on it. Joy |
