This will be a hard night for Tudor but things will get better from this point, on

10. After having lost a few of my older cats

I'm down to 9 in my family... plus the dog that could pass for a pony. It's a lot of work every day... but there's nothing like being surrounded by all the loving when life works to get you down, or you just don't feel good. They give back so much more than they take from us.

My youngest now is almost 2. My oldest is 23. Besides food and utilities, vet bills are where our money goes. I'm a worrywart, too. But I have to admit, I envy you... that many young ones! What a delight to just curl up in a chair and watch them.

Good luck and stay safe... everybody!
