Used Lives...



It's another week gone by and Rootbeer is still with us.
In fact, he's doing much better.
Ben and I brought him home last Friday from the vet.
He couldn't wait for Ben to carry him inside, so he jumped out
of his arms as soon as they cleared the car and were in sight
of the garage sidedoor.
He spent the next 20 minutes walking around the house, following
me from room to room.
The vet says from looking at the wound during surgery, his guess
is that a dog got Rootbeer and shook him in his mouth.
And some how he managed to get away and make it home...
Talk about a strong willed cat.

Oh my goodness!! What a trooper Rootbeer is! That scar is amazing. You've got some mighty rough dogs in your neighborhood! I hope his recovery is speedy.

Wow!! That cat is really something else. Looks like he was almost torn in half. Lucky he has you guys to give him lots of love and attention. He may not want to ever go outside again.
