Thank you everyone for the wonderful support.

Last night was rough. Hubby now wants to postpone the vacation and not even GO! So we are aiming for Tuesday.
We lost yesterday totally for packing. There is lots of packing,
because the place is so remote, stores are 90 miles away except for a Mom and Pop small grocery (with very high prices).

Hubby is acutely feeling Oreo's loss and needs to cry some I think. So I am getting him to talk about her, so he won't bottle it up. I know yesterday and last night I had a hot rock in MY stomach which with the passing hours became very painful.

Today we will putz around gathering up things, cleaning Oreo's bedding, and taking some preparatory feline things with us in case the rescue place up there has "the" special kitten for us.
Our friend up their runs a Rescue and I contacted her yesterday and she has 8 kittens. 2 are already spoken for but she is going to save the others until we look at them. They are 8 wks old now. I ordered a nylon indoor/outdoor pet "pen" so we can keep any kitten should we get one, more safely up there (I am having it delivered upNorth from Petco). We are definitely going to need a new companion for hubby. Oreo was his girl, and he is already missing her.

We're going out to the stores today...getting him out so we can talk in the car, I think is best. He is rather stoic and in this very sad time he needs to let his grief out.

Weezie is avoiding us... stayed out all night to worry me. I will have to work on HER too. She is looking for Oreo... sniffing the air.
