At least Herman is back in this installment.
Were these three guys stateside the entire war?

 

In one letter, Herman mentions guys going over a hill and not all of them came back.

 

Gee wiz, I was really rooting for Herm.

 

Hmmmm Herman is back.

 

Me too.

 

Just judging from his letters, Herm seems vivacious, passionate and kindhearted.
Maybe she messed up by blowing him off.

 

Enough about poor Herm though. What's this about a kitty cat?

 

I hope kitty is ok.

 

Domino, or Dommie as we call him, had anal sac issues, so he had anal gland surgery to remove them last Thursday. On Saturday, he was so listless I took him to an emergency vet at 11 pm and they gave him an anti-inflammatory shot with two more daily pill doses for the next two days. Monday, we took him back to our vet who did the surgery and he switched up his meds to ease gastro issues. Today he is upstairs with his sisters for the first time since surgery.

The kitty story is quite long. We lost our Fangus in June, so we adopted a bonded brother sister black kittens, Charlotte and Louie. We loved them to pieces; they had URIs when we adopted them, Louie's left eye had issues and his URI was chronic. We lost Charlotte in September after a loud thunder clap scared her, she went into cardiac arrest, died in my arms just as we reached the ER vet. We let the shelter know; they later contacted us another kitten from that litter passed the same way. We lost Louie on January 2, same way. The kittens had congenital heart defects. Louie was the most special cat we ever had- he was more like a puppy. He played fetch with his toy springs and had a vest halter and hubby took him for walks. We had gotten Dommie after Charlotte passed because Louie was inconsolable. Now Dommie was all alone, so we went to the shelter to get him a companion kitty. Hubby loved Tashi, I loved Lucy. I told him to choose one. He asked if we could take both girls ( he's a big softie), so I sighed and agreed. Tashi had a bad spay at the shelter, had two holes in her abdomen. Our vet is amazing, she is fine now. I am posting pics of all of them. Dommie is recovering nicely.

Good show. Thank you ... and kittie pix! I have a soft spot for tuxies, even if they're always a little loco.

 

Tuxies are my favorite.

 

This is letter #17, the last letter to Helene. Post what you think happened...I promise to let you know what I found out about the people involved tomorrow.

 

No question about how Herm felt!

 

Ok, so the war had ended & he was still in, waiting to be discharged. I cant decipher the word in the 4th sentence, (7 lines down all the way on the left first word) he mentions it again towards the end same word I believe I cant make out, where he says we will stay away from ( maybe it is a person?) so help please!
Marko, those Kitties are so precious. After we lost our last one about 2 years ago who was a very large ,special needs cat in every sense that you can think of. My husband has not wanted to adopt anymore, he said he is getting too old, to mourn them, we both get very attached, but this one was seriously a special needs cat, he ran me my husband and our house. It is my hope that he comes around I have always had a kitty or two & I miss that.

 

What/who is this troublemakin' Quentin?

I'm gonna be sad if they don't get hitched.

In addition, those kitties!!!
Omg, I can't believe cats die from being scared!
That is the saddest thing.
@Marko, It's so wonderful of you to adopt special needs kitties!

 

Quentin?

 

It isn't "who", it's where. Quentin is a town close to Rexmont where we now know that Helene and Herm both live when they are home.
