OT - ping, Linda, Tucker's Mom

Just putting it on the older active list. BUMP!

Hi, Patti. :)))))) Tuck's doing great! He doesn't even limp anymore. I am so pleased and his vet bill for the surgery was worth every penny. :))) And, the most important part is that it's paid off! My auctions were a success. I pray that he won't need surgery in the future though... my regular vet told me that problems usually arise when the pins & screws shift around, but so far (knock on wood), everything looks good.

Did you see my post on June 24th? If not, here's a part of wheat I sent to the group: "Tucker-cat... he's been officially upgraded to a Maine Coon. lol... a woman who won one of my last Surgery Fund auctions used to run a Maine Coon rescue and told me so. :D Right now, he's in the middle of starting a shed and he's grown these looong 'wings' of hair that stick up right behind his ears. They're very fine hairs and flutter in any breeze. He looks so cute!"

He is still madly, wildly running around the house, meowing at the top of his lung capacity whenever he wants to go outside. He'll run out the doors whenever we try to leave, making us late while we run after him. lol But he usually stops after only a few feet and then starts munching on grass. I bought him some of that Wheat Grass they sell at the grocery stores and he ate that for awhile, but it seems he prefers the lawn grass more. heh... good thing we don't fertilize our lawn.

As I sit here trying to type out some posts, he's already visited me about 6 times... jumping up on the keyboard, meowing in my face, head-butting my hands and then laying down on the mouse or keyboard. It's a wonder I can type sometimes, but I love every minute of his visits. I still want to get him a companion - my old Graciegrrl, 15 yrs., tolerates him and HairyJersey just hisses at him because Tucker is always **cking with him and trying to dominate him. He has settled down a tiny, wee bit now that he's turned 3. But he is, and will probably always be, a mad, demando cat that will race around the house forever... just like he raced into our hearts. :))))

You are so kind to worry about him... and you were such a great supporter of my auctions for him, too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Patti. :))))))

Hi, Linda, I'm so glad to hear that.

Tucker does look like a Maine Coon. He's a very handsome boy.

Glad he is doing so well,

Patti

Thanks, sweetie. :) I owe you an email, too... I have been so busy with the new job I have that I haven't had time to email anyone lately. I'll do so soon and answer your question. :)))))))

Glad hes doing so well I mist that post of course and i kept looking for more auctions LOL Hugs to you and your wild one from me my 3 some V

Thank you, Vicky. :) Hugz and headbutts from Tucker to your kittys, too.

I met my goal so I stopped having auctions, butI do still have a large amount of beads that were donated to me by a lovely young woman who was a buyer of the Tucker auctions. I'm thinking of putting them up in large lots (they're mainly small glass beads) and start the auctions at $.99, sort of as an "Appreciation Sale - Met My Goal" auction. When I can breath again and get a few days off of work, I have that planned on my 'to do' list. I'll post here when I do it so you won't miss the auctions. Take care! :))))))

Cool Beans Linda I be posting some work soon on the ones i got from you! As I put the First 2 in the little booth, I have at the homestead handicrafts shop I have locally! I think i will open a etsy store on line i need someplace to show off my work and sell it and maybe some of moms items as well ! Hugs to you, rub tuckers ears for me and mine V

Can't wait to see what you've done with the cabs, Vicky. :))) You be sure to post here when you have pics online, ok?
