1. I heard they were helping all those who had been left without power in KY.
It seems they have been managing like that for a long time. :D

2. Yep. My grandparents were Mennonite and lived in an Amish community
most Mennonites and Amish vote Democratic and strongly believe in helping their neighbors (wow, what a radical Christian concept, huh)? The Amish philosophy is; "live simply, and take no more from the earth than you will need to sustain yourself, your family, and your closest neighbors". By many standards they might be considered "radical environmentalists".

4. Yes. They now have their own Norweigian Elkhound who adores them
she even brings her favorite toys to them, but they haven't figured out how to toss them for her yet. ;-) I really miss them, especially William Chat-Noir. He was such a love sponge!

I adopted another kitty; a five month old blue DSH-he looks like he's part Oriental. He's very loving towards me, but he HATES my other cats. So I have to find a new home for him. I got him as a buddy for Pip, and that has really not worked out! :-(

5. This is as hard as trying to set a friend up with a date....
I am happy that the Noir Bros have such a great home.

Hope you find the perfect match for Pip soon....Maybe you need to take him with you when you go looking :D

6. Yeah, it's sad how it IS seemingly a radical concept. n/t
