Census. Please respond.

Many curses to them. And glad it is now only an annoyance. Not the
problem it would have been when I was running a business. Of course I'd
have never let them near my business computer and would have had more
thorough back-ups.

Now I'm hunting for the emails I had in a saved received folder on
outlook. Some sentimental value. Plus I know they are here somewhere.

Have you checked into your 'sent' file?
I use outlook for my e-mail as well.

So, here's the census questions (all are, naturally, entirely voluntary and
you don't have to answer all of them). They're in three sections: current
cats, cats that are no longer with us, and about us.

(Please note that if you don't want to put your individual details up on the
group, but would like to have you data included in the final compilation,
you can e-mail me (remove the spam trap). I promise not to publish any data
that can be traced back to any one individual)

I joined around the time I started my vet technician career. Most of
you will remember my Vet Tech journals, chronicially my journey as a
student from starting classes to me graduating and passing my state
boards.

Must post a complete update one of these days....

Yes, please do. I loved your vet tech stories, as I'm sure many people did.

Princess Woodgie!! How did she get that name, may I ask? I'm interested
because "Woodgie" is my nickname for Smudge. (Or just plain "Woodge".)
