Thank you all.  This helps a lot ... to know there are so many people out there who love and care for their pets.  Thankfully my other wee-beasts (well Magic the sheapard/lab mix is 131 lbs. and Oliver the Mighty Cat is 22 lbs.) are recovered and happy. 

All of our animals are rescues.  Bojangles (the tabby curled up in back in the photo)and his Brother Eli were part of a cat colony outside a Wells Fargo Call Center where I worked.  In fact their names were originally "Wells" and "Fargo", not very original. :)

3 kittens we rescued were dumped in a local park.  Smudge-face-tweek-tail, the littlest came running after us crying as loud as she could, while we were walking our dogs one day ... the other two were hiding in a tree.  She has followed me arround ever since and been dubbed "the stalker cat".

Joxer, another lab mix breed, was rescued from a post in a field outside a crack house where he'd been tied up durring a blizzard.

In Photo: Bojangles (Tabby curled up in back), Oliver (Other tabby behind dog), Joxer (dog), Smudgeface-tweektail (in front looking at camera, note her different colored eyes), and finally, Nod-No-Tail (the black cat, Smudgie's brother).

There are more ... but it's getting a litte "crazy cat ladies" embarressing. ;)

Tnanks all for sharing.
