I'm so sorry to hear about Kirby escaping during the storm. Like you, I hope she's found a new home. We have a lot of dogs in our neighborhood and I've even seen foxes, but not recently. We also live near a busy street. It wasn't even completely paved when we bought the house 30-some years ago so we thought the end of a cul-de-sac would be sage and quiet. Not so much. We've had a few kitties escape the house and not come back.

My Dad just turned 82 and his health is fragile. He never fully recovered from his third(!) bypass surgery in 2008. He's since been diagnosed with Parkinson's and has mild kidney disease on top of his congestive heart failure.He and Mom moved to assisted living almost 2 years ago but Dad had to be transferred to a skilled nursing facility (nursing home) a little over a year ago. He's now in memory care. Whether the dementia is caused by the Parkinson's or by the lack of oxygen from his heart issues doesn't really matter. It's just sad to see our parents in declining health.

Enjoy your new fur babies. I look forward to seeing pictures of them!
