Hi guys!

I'm back!

After years of hiatus due to my spinal issue - I am glad to say the tumor is benign, I am now walking (with a cane) and driving and horseback riding and doing 95% of the things I loved doing all over again. When TEF first started, I was most vigorously persistent in Deviantart in getting many of you to join. Within months, the forest was flooded with DA members.

In recent sad news, yesterday at 11am, I had to euthanize my lovely little miss One-Eye. Friday night she started to act very weak. Saturday morning she was tested and found positive for feline leukemia, of which there is no cure. She seemed to know, and was lovingly quiet and gentle until the very end. RIP One Eye. You will be missed, and forever loved.

Not 5 months prior to yesterday, Grayman was also put to rest for a very advanced lung infection that he could not recover from. He was put to rest February 18th at 12:30pm. Now Grayman and One-Eye can look after eachother in the afterlife as they did in life. It brings me great peace to believe they have found eachother and are waiting for their last remaining brother of my original trio, and will be waiting for me when it is my time.

Those of you who knew me, knew that I had found three two-week old kittens underneath my car almost 4 years ago now. 2 of the 3 have now succumbed to feline diseases. Only Mr. Poo remains, but he will shortly be tested for luekemia as well.

As for now, I am finally in my own apartment, working again, doing well with my remaining two feline friends, and getting along just fine.

While I will not have the time to participate in TEF once again, I will keep an eye on the forums, and chat and catch up with my old friends. I have missed you all. This was always a great community.

Fondly,
