5/7 Osha AMPS 114 PMPS 92

4/22

Good morning.

Osha is doing really well. She is very lovey, happy and her numbers remain in blue and green. I couldn't ask for more!

Today is her civvie, Mycroft's 4th birthday! I am so happy he is a part of my family. The day after I adopted him, animal control called to tell me his mother tested positive for rabies. I could either surrender him to be put down or I could keep him isolated in a crate for 3 months. I had spent less than 24 hours with him at this point, but I knew I couldn't give him up. 7 of his siblings were put down. He lived in a large dog crate for 3 months and was totally healthy. Happy birthday Mycroft!

What an amazing story, I’m glad you decided to keep him. I’m honestly shocked they would let you keep him, even in a crate like that. Glad all turned out so well, he’s a cutie. Hope the neighbor cat has stayed away! Glad Osha is doing very well.

There sure are a lot of cat birthdays today on the board, must be a very lucky day!

Happy Birthday, Mycroft!

 

Happy Birthday Mycroft. He is lucky to have you. Nice report for Osha.

 

Here is an article about Mycroft's mom.

“Since then, three owners choose to turn the kittens back over to animal control for testing. Of the six kittens tested, five of the tests have come back. All were negative.

Animals can’t be alive for rabies tests.”



So sad. Rabies is no joke and you just wouldn’t know if you’ve been exposed or not, waiting out the quarantine could mean it’s too late...for the humans too! What an agonizing decision. I’m so glad Mycroft was negative. He’s a very lucky guy to have landed in your home.

Osha squeaked out a green to celebrate Mycroft's birthday and my, hopefully, successful job interview that I just came home from.

Oh, and it's my birthday too.

 

Happy Birthday Amanda. I hope your interview went well. Nice green for Osha.

 

Happy Birthday to you and Mycroft!

 

Well, happy birthday to you both

Do tell about the job interview.

 

Thanks!

It was an interview for a head start position with the public school system here in my city of Reston. I feel like it went really well, but who knows

 

Is this a new job position? Are you still where you were? Sorry if you posted and I missed it.

 

I would be the same job but with more stability at a different location. I am still where I am...just keeping options open.

 

Good luck. Glad the interview went well for you.

 

Was just wondering if you've been around lately. Happy birthday to both of you.

 

Happy Birthday Amanda!

 

Happy belated birthday, Amanda and Mycroft! ❤️ Mycroft, you are one lucky fellow!
