Thank you to everyone for your kind comments about Ramona. Mr. Cedar and I are feeling very empty without her. I couldn't respond, but your thoughts mean a lot. Beezus has been crazy lonely without Ramona, following us around the apartment and making sure one of us is there when she eats (but she has been eating, and I cannot tell you how relieved I am about that), so we took her to the pet-sitter's for some company. She'll be there while we're in Florida this week, playing with their three kids, dog, and cat. And when she comes home, we're getting her a kitten. We've already pre-adopted a 10-week old male gray-and-white tabby and named him Henry. At the shelter, Henry jumped out of another person's arms and onto Mr. Cedar's shoulder, where he started purring. It was a sign. We're all still very lost and weepy about Ramona, but we're also glad to be able to give Henry a good home, and to give Beezus a companion. Pictures will come. Mr. C and I are leaving tomorrow for Florida, where we'll visit a large mouse and alternate visits to Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. And sometime between now and January 20th I have to read 40 books. *headdesk* Tags: beezus, henry, ramona 126: stressed
