Kentucky Again!

Here I am at Aunt Jo's exercising and caring for Mom La. She is more work than before, and has really aged (94 is the true age) since I last saw her. Jo Ann has gone to Cuba, to work at a church there teaching Women's groups. I will be here for a week to 10 days. I like to come early to see and learn the routines and to get acclimated to Kentucky air. There are several things that are different. She can't see any more so we can't play cards. I also have to feed her now, and she can't always walk with the walker so she uses a wheel chair. Dressing herself is a challange so again I have to do it. Everything seems to take a longer time. So I will earn my money!

Emma Again

Today I am going to tell you a story about my cat, Emma, again. She is almost a year old and everyone kept telling me, "Get her fixed. You will need to once she comes into heat."
 So one day while I was exercising at Curves I got the name of how to do it. You call a group called the Neuterville Express and get the animal an appointment. They come to Oxford at the Whistle Stop and get your pet and return it the next day all fixed up. The cost was good only 45 dollars. This included a rabies shot and flee and mite removal. So I took advantage of this program scheduled an appointment and got Emma all fixed. Now I don't have to worry about kittens.
Here is the really funny thing though. Every night she meows to go out and sometimes I let her go. One cold snowy evening she came out with me while I got the mail. I walked down the steps and she followed. When I returned  she did not want to come in so I let her stay out while I did a few dishes. Then I called her from the door. She was sitting up in the middle of the drive way with her tail wrapped around her. In front of her about 3 feet away were two male cats. Just looking at her, when I came onto the porch I called, "Here kitty kitty kitty!" She turned and came up to me just twitching her tail as she walked as if to say, "If you liked it you should have put your ring on it."
I love my kitty!
