The people who come in the store said that my internet customers get cheated because they don't get to hear all my little stories.  If I have any new ones I will put them here to share with my internet customers.  My latest adventure was finding a rabid bat.  When I took it to get tested the scientist said it was a big brown bat, and that I packed it well (scary huh) .  I guess I can put that on my resume.  He said it was rare for this type to be rabid (1 in 20 to be exact).   They had 9 bats from my county tested that week and mine was the only one that was rabid.   I have a kitten that a good friend of mine gave me for my birthday.  The kitten had all its shots but he was too young to have the rabies shot.  I had him out on a leash that day and he was able to reach the bat.   Poor Max he is out of quarantine and went to get neutered.  I got a call from the vet saying Max was doing well but .....Max is a Maxine.  The poor baby has been a girl the whole time.  She was seen by 3 different vets and they all thought she was a he.  I'm going to have to send Max for kitty therapy now.  I am sure she has issues after all this.Update on Max she has a yellow kitty in the neighborhood who just ticks her off.  She makes all kinds of noises at it and puffs up like a blow fish. 

Hope everyone had a great Christmas.  Riley got alot of toys surprise surprise.  This was an exceptionally challanging year for all of us.  Wow just when you think you've seen the worst life hands you one of those little surprises.  We lost some important people in our life this year as I am sure alot of you have.
