I know I'm supposed to discuss more drumming today, but I have to tell you about some of the events of this last week.
The first being a sense of closure in regards to my beautiful, missing Oreo, my cat. As most of you know, he's been missing for 5 weeks now. Well, last Tuesday evening there was a knock on my front door. There stood a man I didn't know standing there, He was holding a baggie and as he handed it to me he asked if it looked familiar. In the baggie was a blue collar. I said it was Oreo's. He'd put a paper with the streets where they had found it around and said he thought it looked as though it'd been there awhile. I told him how long Oreo'd been missing, he said he was sorry for my loss, I think I said "thank you." I honestly can't remember. I did close the door, took the collar out of the baggie, sat down on the couch and began to sob uncontrollably. This was the 1st time I cried since he disappeared. I guess I'd always held out hope he'd come home.
Putney & I did drive up & walk the area that the man had noted to look around, call out for Oreo and finally say our good-byes. It was tough but necessary for me.
I've shed some tears each day since. The outpouring of love & compassion from all of my friends has been amazing and deeply appreciated. I was blessed to have that silly cat, D.S.Oreo, in my life for 10 years. He will be very missed.

After getting my teeth cleaned Thurs. morning I went by the Humane society and spotted a funny kitten named Racer. He jumped up the front of his cage that he shared with his brother & sister and looked like a bug on a windshield.After some thinking, I decided I not only wanted him but needed him as did Putney and that he needed us too. Well, now Racer is part of our family. I've changed his name to Cray-Ray which fits him purrrrrrrrrfectly.I stayed home Thurs. & Fri. evenings, not going to dance class or the meet greet for Frank Farinaro (the headliner for the Mediterranean Nights Bellydance show. He was just too cute to leave. Putney's been amazing with Cray-Ray. Cray-Ray began by spitting & hissing at Putney whenever Putney came near. Understandable, yes???? Putney would just stop, cry a little and turns his face away. I'm assuming to not get his eyes scratched, and waits. When he follows Cray-Ray his tail just wags happily. Now they go nose to nose with no hissing & spitting. I've caught Cray-Ray playing with Putney's tail and belly fur for that matter. Putney just stands there & lets him play. It's so precious to watch this all go down. If only the Republicans & Democrats in office could take a lesson here. Wouldn't that be great?
