Cats are therapeutic. Even stuck-up, know-it-all, smart ass Meezers. When Bekkers is home abed, the Meezers will snuggle up to her and soothe her with healing purrs. (Okay, Meezers! Up and Attem! You WILL take extra care with our Beck, or I shall send Dork Vader to the house with a fully charged cattle prod!) ~VOW ---

good tidings indeed Lil’Wrekker needs to give fair warning to the meezers, I’m close enough that I could be there in a day, day and a half, two tops if I stop to sleep on the way. Be! Extra! Especially! Nice! To! Mama Beck! _ **or else** _ ---

Oh goody, she came through surgery okay. I’ve been thinking on you Becks and sending good vibes as best I can but have been in training at a new job (yay!) and I have so much to learn and computer screens to stare at, my eyes feel overworked. But here I am. And there you are (or will be tomorrow). Heal, heal, so there may be real food in your future. ---
