My husband's nephew & wife live in ND on reservation land. They feed the deer & wild turkeys & had a lot of "outside" cats. I love cats (as well as dogs!) so would always admire all the new little kitties when we visited.

This spring, just before we left for our annual trip, she told me she had a siamese kitty............ IMPOSSIBLE as all the cats are "cow" cats. Black & white or black. Last year I fell in love with a mostly white kitty with a few black spots. So she had caught him, brought him inside & was "saving" him for me. However he was a very active kitty, noisey, & one of her inside cats hated him. So back to his wild Mom he went! Well, when it was time to bring them up to the house again to begin weaning them, she caught him again & as we drove in the yard.... here she came with one of the most beautiful kittens I'd ever seen!!! How was I going to tell her I didn't want him? I had my old dog who was in poor health & took all of my time & effort as well as a new dog that had adopted us just a few days earlier.

So we took him to our travel trailer & he thought he was in a palace as he'd been in a bathroom or tied to a long leash when outside for 2-3 weeks. She had named him & somehow it stuck. My husband nicknamed him Hans Schnable after a "dirty" wrestler that his Mother had hated on TV back in the 50's-60's sometime. He could hold his own with this about 1 yr old 10 lb stray dog let me tell you.

He was about 3-1/2lb in June & is now 9lb. Not an ounce of fat on him so we think he'll be a good sized boy when he grows up. He & the dog are best buddies and it has all worked out for us.

My Flossie accepted him (probably because she was old, frail & couldn't do anything about his presence anyhow) and he is a great comfort to me especially since I lost her 2 days ago.

He walks on a leash, accepts most anything you do with him. Rides in the car without any complaints. In fact today we took him for a ride without being in a cage. He got on the dash to observe things & finally settled in the back of the van on a pillow looking at the countryside and cars whizzing by.

Couldn't upload a picture as they are too big & I don't know how to downsize them. Trust me he is HANDSOME!!!!! Looks like many full blooded applehead siamese do.

Ginger AKA Flossies Mom

What a great story. I'm happy to hear he has a happy and loving home. I wish a long healthy life for your new furbaby. Try to resize the photo to 640x480. LS sent me a photo web site once to do this with. I used my own but you can try it's splashup.com..Good luck. We'd love to see Mr. Handsome!..Ann

[attachment=3165:DSC02608.JPG

Jon,

Thanks so much for the help. I have windows vista & probably went about the resize in the wrong manner but I got a result that I think works. I've been too lazy to learn this stuff but now I have something else I can do to keep myself busy when I feel down.

Going to try to upload Jingles on his second day with us and a very recent picture of the most beautiful barn kitty ever!!!!!!!!!!!

He is gorgeous! Look at the long legs! It looks like he is on his way to being a big boy!
Siamese, even outcrosses, are remarkably smart and complicated friends.
He will surely keep you laughing and confounded!

Our first cat LONG ago was one such, and we could bore the BB with endless stories about her, still.

Thanks Jon.....

I was sure I wasn't prejudiced!!!!!! I saw you've had siamese also & knew you'd agree. When I say he's beautiful my hubby says HANDSOME, he's a boy!!! He also says that dogs have a master.... cats have a STAFF!

I've actually had a couple other siamese mixes.... Percy, who's Mom came to us in November skinny as a rail when we lived in upper Michigan where it snowed about 200" per year! Solid grey cat who ended up gracing us with 2 tiny siamese kitties shortly thereafter under the Christmas Tree and would not allow us to move them anywhere else. Then I had a shelter siamese Starvin Marvin. Neither were with me long & I always wanted another one. Who would have guessed from a "cow" cat would come such a beauty?

I've had black, yellow, siamese, calico, torti & white/yellow cats. Our daughter had 2 grey tabbys. She just lost her female tabby October 27th & we lost our poodle Flossie on October 30th. Sad week for us but our other fur babies are trying to make us smile.

We understand completely about a special connection you have with one in particular even though we've had many, many cats & dogs over the years. Flossie was that one dog for me and Lady was that one cat (so far) for our daughter. I had 2 cats before that were special.... Doofus, a black kitty the neighbors called Rambo because of his antics outside. Mr. Jingles has somewhat the same personality. Then there was Baby, a white/yellow "not right" cat. Tramatized when tiny by something that killed her 3 siblings while she hid under lumber/tin pile. Had no idea we had cats living out in the woods till we saw the poor little kittens strung around our driveway in the dark one evening when we came home. Her Mother (the Calico) called to her from woods edge to comfort her while we lifted the scrap up for her to escape to the side of Mommy waiting patiently nearby. Took some doing to get her inside. Finally because Callie came in all the time she would come in for a short while. She never allowed us to pick her up or get her where she could be cornered. Had to prop the door open as she wouldn't walk by you close. Kept her for 12 years and she eventually became an indoor only cat. She was a beautiful cat & a shame that she could never be socialized. Loved her lots & grieved over her more than even my special "Doofus, Rambo aka Dammit".

Right now he's on a 160 acres (though he only roams right around the house, shop & to the edge of the pasture) but soon he'll make the trip with us to the big city of Raleigh, NC (over 2,000 miles) and be indoor only till we get back here next April. So far he is very adjustable to whatever and just goes with the flow. Cage? OK if I must.... car ride? lots to look at so OK by me...... Can't go out because it's dark? Not so much.......... but will eventually settle for a while.

Jingles in addition to being so handsome is athletic also, as these pictures will show. I have TONS of pictures of him.

What an absolutely gorgeous kitty!!! You can tell from the photos that he has a lot of personality as well.

Ken Albin

Thanks Ken... I think he's kind of pretty myself. But then Mom's & Dad's always think that of their children don't they? Funny how you could see his personality. He really does have one heck of a personality. Even my husband who is not the cat lover in the family thinks he's a neat cat.

I had read your Daddy Cat tribute page earlier today. I've been doing a lot of reading here for 3 days now. Very helpful to see all the tributes & realize I'm not alone in the feeling & attachment I have with my pets.

Thanks for the compliment. Wasn't sure if he was about to give a sucker punch in that one picture or practicing bow hunting for pheasant season here in ND!

Ginger

He's absolutely gorgeous! Those beautiful blue eyes. So sweet and yet a killer. Does he pratice judo alot? That poor mouse. Glad you got the photos to go thru. Thanks for sharing..Ann

Ann,

Glad yo think he is handsome. He does practice judo a lot as well as running, wrestling with our other new family member. He has such personality. Sometimes loving & sweet while other times very aloof. A cat thing I think!!!!

Another picture of those beautiful eyes!!!!!!!

What a beautiful baby! I especially love your very first picture with those gorgeous blue eyes
looking right into the camera.

A wonderful addition to your family. Such a sweetheart. All the pictures make me smile.

Judy

Mr. Jingles is ready to head for North Carolina............ he is not fond of this "white stuff" we just got dumped on us here in North Dakota. Had to pull our van to the road from our long driveway with the tractor this morning so we will be able to get out when they call that Flossies ashes are back.

This snow would have been impossible for her to get around in or even stand long enough to pee in. I still miss her more than words can tell.
9 days this afternoon.

The pictures are:

First look at snow in the dorway

What the He** is this stuff

I's EVERYWHERE!!!

Let me back inside..........

Lets look at that weather report again..........

He really did come right back in & get up on the chair back & paw at the TV as if to say I want to see the weather channel again.....

Tried to bundle him up for a treck outside today..........

As you will see... he preferred sans fleece vest!!!!!!!!!

The results of his dislike of the warm jacket I provided...........

Wow...I have never seen a cat in snow before. Do they really like it?

Beautiful pictures...all of them!

Judy

What an absolute beauty he is! You must be a very proud mommie. I am sorry for your loss but it warms my heart that you have Mr. Jingles.

I guess the jacket is out because it wasn't his idea, lol. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful photos.

Allanna

The thing that impresses me about him is that he has the beauty of the Siamese, but the sturdy robust musculature of the Domestic.
If he were human I'd have him tested for steroids. He looks TOO GOOD, if you know what I mean....

Jon,

What? My Jingles using steriods?

But then again Marion Jones did live in Raleigh............... I even delivered flowers to her home once...............

He is beautiful...I love Siamese cats. They definitely have a special way about them. I had one for about 18 months before she died at the age of twenty, her owner had died that was why I took her. She promptly took over the house and had her way with everything. What a personality these Siamese have. I know you will have lots of fun.

Barbara

First of all Ginger, let me apologize for calling you by the wrong name. I must have caught the end of Judy's note! OOPS!

Mr. Jingles is precious! We adopted Jasper a few months ago that is a siamese mix. Mister Jingels has more of the siamese look in his face but their bodies are very similar. LOVE THE SNOW SUIT PHOTO!! I'm looking forward to showing Jasper the first snow of the season.

My last buddy, Nickels was a siamese mix also. They are a VERY special kitty. They are also very very loving with an independent streak. Mr. Jingles is absolutely beautiful. Again, you are wonderful people. I just get all mushy for a good rescue story!

Michelle

Thanks for visiting Mr. Jingles' thread Michelle & Barbara. Both of you seem to know how these Siamese can take over your life.

I had a black cat once that had a personality similar to what Jingles is like. Both my husband and daughter have commented that he is like Doofus was.

We have returned to our home in NC and Jingles had to meet his extended family of a 4 year old dog named Savannah..... left behind in an apartment so our daughter took her in as a small puppy and a 13 year old Maine Coon named Fat Boy who just lost his lifelong companion named Lady.

Fat Boy is extremely shy and easily intimidated. He & Lady were together since both were babies & he misses her a lot. He seems to be coming out of his shell somewhat with Jingles being here now. Savannah chases Fat Boy because he will run from her..... Not so for Jingles. He is very comfortable in his own skin!!!!

What fun we are having with 2 dogs & 2 cats who are just getting aquainted. The dogs have had a few scuffles as both are alpha females. We think golden lab mix for Savannah who is about 25# & chi/min pin mix for WeeBee who is about 14#. She seems to be the instigator in the fighting. She wants to be in charge of the playing & they get too riled up in the house & get into a scuffle. Outside they do fine. Sooooooo playing is not allowed inside.

When I get pictures of Jingles & Fat Boy together I will post them. Both are such beautiful boys.

Though I miss my beautiful Flossie, these 4 are keeping me occupied so I don't feel the hole in my heart like I would without them being here. I swore I did not want any more pets as I was so attached to Flossie and she had consumed my life with her care for several years. I felt I wanted a break from all that as well as not the attachment that comes along with it and pain at the end.

But God had another plan..... WeeBee showed up as a stray and attached herself to my husband & a niece gave Jingles to me. Something about him just melted my heart and he fit himself in. Flossie got to spend the last 4 months around them.... sometimes not so happy about their antics.... so she knows I'm not alone.

Jingles has decided it's time for me to get off here or else he's going to help do some posting..... time for his morning cuddle session with me............. Kinda like this picture... GIVE ME THAT CAMERA.... enough with the pictures!!!!!!!!!!

This guy is gorgeous! He sounds like he really has that Siamese personality...and still looks like he is spending a lot of time at the gym.

"Robust" and "Siamese" do not aways happen in the same package. I hope your Hunk gives you decades of joy!

I agree Jon with your assesment of Mr. Jingles............

He has personality plus and is quite the hunk. He was tiny when I got him but felt like he was a strong little thing right from the beginning. Hence the membership to the local gymn. Wanted to be sure he remained buff.

I just know he is my new "love connection" pet. My black cat named Doofus (AKA Damnit!!!) had a personality like Jingles. Not afraid of the devil himself. He hid in the bushes & jumped out as dogs as they walked by our house when very young. Our neighbor called him Rambo.

Our daughter thinks I now have another spoiled brat who only has eyes for me. But he also has eyes for WeeBee as seen in one of the pictures I've attached.

First picture is how short those long legs were the day we got him. Collar was so big it went around his neck twice but we can't even get it on anymore.

Next one is with his best buddy WeeBee. He has to give her a good cleaning every day and sometimes several times a day.

Will post a picture of him trying to make friends with our daughter's Maine Coon......... the Maine Coon is 13 & just lost his lifetime cat companion 3 weeks ago. He's been very lost without her so we hope the two will become buds in a couple of days.

Mr. Jingles trying to become best friends with Fat Boy.

Fat Boy lost his lifelong companion 3 weeks ago and has been pretty much hidden out under the bed or in a closet.

that photo is just too cute
thank you for sharing
Mr.(handsome)Jingles, FatBoy, WeeBee
remembering your beloved Flossie
Eva

A follow up on the comment about Jingles' long legs.........

His tail is about the longest I've seen on a cat.... just measured it & it is over 12 inches long.... this cat is just over 7 months old so we are wondering just how big he'll get. We noticed the big paws & long tail when we first got him. He got very lanky as he grew so fast and is now beginning to really fill out. Need to get him a Bow Flex so he can stay in shape

He sure likes to groom himself. Guess when you are this handsome you've got to spend time to keep yourself up

Thanks for the pictures. He is so gorgeous..front, back..with tail...just all over.

I really like the earlier picture of him with Weebee...now that is a priceless picture.

You have a lovely family.

Hugs to them all. I know your Angel Flossie is wagging her tail like crazy on her cloud...at seeing how everyone is blending together. Remember..unconditional love is truly unselfish and that is why she can wag her tail.....like crazy.

Judy

Pork Rinds anyone? Then a nap!!

Haha! Look at all the teeth dents in that cover! Determination! Did he succeed?

I logged on to tell you I met a cat who looks like him yesterday! I visited someone and they had a Siamese mix with his colors.
But Chloe was a somewhat plump female, and not quite the strong hulk he is.

She was a great cat, though and a real spoiled charmer.
I regret not bringing my little camera. It usually resides in my belly bag (Called a "Purse" by some friends of mine..ugh..) but was left behind on the charger.

He did not succeed as I took it away............ he rolled that tub around the living room & tried every angle possible.

We keep thinking he is a dog in cats' skin. His favorite thing is playing with WeeBee and throwing her down (or himself to get a good hold underneath & dig her belly with his hind "hands").

I have every idea when he stops growing and SLOWS down he will fill out. Then WeeBee better watch out.

He loves pompoms but WeeBee gets them & tears them up as fast as she can. So we got him a good supply.......... WeeBee even got ahold of 2 at a time one day with one sticking out each side of her mouth.

Take your "purse" next time to get a picture of his plump look alike. Would love to see her.

I have just figured out how Jingles voted in the last election................ he has been mum on his political affiliation..................

He had just jumped on his favorite TV watching perch.... right in front of it... up close & personal..... I had Fox News on and one of the graphics swirled out from a small circle to fill the entire screen as some loud sound effects blasted out and he litterly flew backwards onto the floor as if he'd been attacked & stood there staring at the screen for a long time.

I'm convinced he's a Democrat and afraid of Fox News. Had this kind of a look on his face............ Where is the camera when you really need it?

Oh, well, he is now helping with some cleaning.....................

He's just gorgeous, Ginger. He reminds me very much of my beloved Siam-max, "Fleas" ( although he was a seal-point). He was a big boy with big personality. Sorry to hear Jingles suffers from Fox news phobia.

Dayna

Thanks Dayna........... I think he's gorgeous too! And his personality matches. This cat pretty much gets away with anything & everything.

When my neice handed him to me I fell immediately in love with him. He was beautiful then and so strong I couldn't believe it. Smart cat too. My last cat was a beautiful cat but that is the only thing she had going for her. I'd not had a cat in about 2-1/2 years when we got him. Mostly because we had Flossie that really was a round the clock care for me and we knew we'd be traveling. Cats do not always travel so good I've found. I'm going to get him one of those walking jackets for our trip this summer. He did good on a leash but I'm not walking him here as I think he'd want out after that and he's pretty quick. Ran down the stairs once & right out the door before I knew he was there. Hasn't tried that for a long time.

He is such a people cat and so adaptable. Has to be whereever the action is. Be it the kitchen (might miss food you know) the living room or the bathroom.

Rides in a car so good it amazes me. He made 1 trip over 1,000 miles round trip and then traveled over 2,500 miles one way with us. When we stopped at our son's for a visit, he marched right in & inspected the entire house like he was going to live there.

Ginger,

Fleas used to travel by air ( underneath my seat ) with me between Austin and Amarillo, when I was in college. We usually had about a 3 hr lay-over in DFW. airport. I would get him out of his carrier and hold him in my lap. He would be every bit as calm and relaxed as if we were at home snuggling on the couch. He would draw a crowd of admirers, including the security people who inspected him and his carrier before boarding. People often asked me what tranquilizer I gave him, and were incredulous when I told them he was always like that.

Sounds like my Fleasy and your Jingles had much in common...including being very loved.

Thanks for the beautiful pics. of your amazing boy.
Dayna

LOVE YOUR PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and STORIES!!!!!!

Please keep them coming.....................

Especially him riding the mop to "help". Now he sounds like my rescue kitty, Lucky...a nose in everything!

Judy

New game at our house................ Jingles loves to jump high in the air and do all kinds of fancy twists & turns so I gave him a real workout this morning. He finally stretched out panting and looked like he had really accomplished something................ then passed out! I cannot believe how high he jumps and throws himself like a rocket sideways sometimes. He flew into the glass doors on an antique curio cabinet & never missed a beat..... bounced off it & kept on going!

It never ceases to amaze what athletes cats are. And they almost look innocent when they are asleep, don't they.

He's beautiful, love the pics!

Dayna

Looking for update photos of this boy......

I looked at all your pictures again just now and each one made me smile bigger.

That one of him riding in a car...wow he is so good to just lie there.

Lucky likes to ride too but he enjoys being in a box so he can't look out the window like Mr. Jingles is doing.

Really great pictures. I always come here for smiles. You made my day today.

Judy

OK Judy, I only have a couple of new pictures................... We have another new trick lately.

One day I had the drawer to a small china cabinet open to look for something (kind of the "catch all" drawer) so of course Jingles had to get in there & see what was there. I had some halloween glow in the dark stick on things in there... mouse, bat, spider etc. He, of course, found the mouse & was out of there!!!!!!!!!!!! He batted it around the kitchen till it went under the stove. I got a yardstick to get it out and there I found two more of his mice! Well, let me tell you, it only took that one time of the yardstick for him to figure out I could now retrieve his mice when he lost them. All this time I thought he was trying to clean under the stove while it was his mice under there.

Now he lays by the stove looking pittiful and when I even REACH for the yardstick he is wild eyed and meowing like crazy. Something he only does if I go outside & walk the dog or get out the yardstick. He is a quiet chirping cat. Even if there is no mouse under the stove & I reach for the yardstick, he thinks there is one for me to get out & heads for the stove meowing as loud as he can.

He gets so excited and is poised at the corner ready to leap on this mouse as I drag it out and sometimes pounces before I get it clear out & bats it right back under there. I put them up a lot as the dog grabs them every chance she gets & tears them to pieces. So Jingles "goes shopping" in my hiding places when I'm not looking & gets them out. He knows where they are and no matter how high I put them he goes after them. He went "shopping" the other night about 4 times while I was upstairs even though hubby was using the spray bottle to get him off the tall cabinet. Must be a stubborn Siamese.... is that an unusual trait for Siamese?

Even though I miss my Flossie like crazy, I must admit that this cat has really got me wrapped around his big paw! We're not sure of his date of birth, but judging the time frame that his Mom brought him up to the house from under the outbuilding and when he was able to be neutered, I have decided to "assign" him Flossies birthdate. She would have been 18 on the 15th of this month so Jingles will be 1 year old on that date. That should make the date a double reason to celebrate. I had so much wanted Flossie to make it to that date and she sure gave it a try. I know I could have selfishly hung on to her longer, but it would not have been fair to her. She had endured enough over the years so to live longer with her body tired and failing would have been extremely selfish and almost cruel. She gave so much and asked so little it was the least I could do for her.

Great pictures and great story. I got Lucky a mouse that I could make run with a remote control but it doesn't work at all and then I looked it up online and everyone that bought one said..don't buy it, it doesn't work. I got it in a local store so I didn't know that but I have the receipt. Lucky loves to bat balls around, small soft ones and golf balls. He is a whizz at batting them under the coffee table and runs around knowing they will come out the other side, if not, he lies just like Mr. Jingles in that picture and gets it out with his paw.

You wondered about being stubborn...Lucky is very much that way...won't listen until he sees us actually get up and head for the squirt bottle....then he listens. Don't have any answers to get more cooperation from him.

Thanks for the update. I really enjoyed it.

Judy

Mr. Jingles has a full time job and takes it seriously................. WeeBee gets a daily "facial" as hubby calls it. More than a facial when he gets insistant about it. WeeBee doesn't object and sometimes even goes up to him & lays down with her face/neck right in his face so that he knows it is time

Don't know how this could be comfortable but he had a good nap for quite a while like this! Probably worn out from chasing bunnies & birds as well as looking for mice, gophers, butterflies, bees, flys and anything else that moves most of the day. The cows walking along the pasture fence have gotten his attention and his eyes get pretty big.

He's lost about a pound since May because he is really active outside all day long. Going to be hard to coup him up indoors again.

so cute!!!! kinda having a rough day at work today. you know those days when you dont want to do a thing but have a mountain of things to do. ayayay! but i logged on and had never seen the photos of mr jingles. love him!! and i love the photos of mr jingles and weebee. made me smile! thank you!!!!
patricia

Mr. Jingles at his best!! Loves to be outside and I allow that now that he has 160 acres to be free on. Closest occupied house is over 1/2 mile away and there are none for several miles in the other 3 directions. 2nd picture is when he decided to get on the old milk barn and check out what the cows were doing on the other side............. they looked mighty big so he came out of the corral & got up on the barn to sit on top & thrash his tail as he looked down on them at the watering hole! Then he had to check the wiring to be sure it was safe!

Wonder how in the world I'll keep him inside when we travel in the camper for over 30 days beginning early September? I do have a "walking jacket" and leash as well as a couple of different containers but he is not going to be happy........... last year he was not outside much except on a leash so he was easy to deal with. He's older and gotten sooooooooo independant he will be a handful.

We both feel so blessed to have him as well as WeeBee. Flossie is still our girl and we do miss her a lot. It would be mighty lonesome without these two to fill our days and our hearts. Sometimes I think it takes both of them to fill the hole in my heart that she left behind. And there are still days that even that does not do it!

He's breathtaking Ginger!

Thanks Dayna................ he has a personality to match!.....................How are things with your crew?

awwww! he is so beautiful! what a sweetheart!
patricia

OMG- that cat is beautiful!!!! My Nutmeg had a touch of siamese in her. I have always thought siamese and russian blue's were so good looking, I remember as a child we had a siamese that looked just like Mr. Jingles but she was a smaller female version. That cat is built like a racehorse, haha! Love all your pictures.

Thanks for the compliment on Mr. Jingles...............

Racehorse. How ironic as that is exactly what he sounds like when he decides to run down the hill, across the yard or the livingroom! Our dog weighs 17lb and runs quieter than he does. She can't catch him outside when he decides to get away from her either!

I have read about your Nutmeg..... what a beautiful cat and story as well as the name. We took in a stray several years ago and she graced us with 2 Siamese kittens. We kept one and I lost him within a couple of years. We think he must have gotten hit by a car as he couldn't hold his tail up and lost control of his bowels. No sign of any injury but back then the only answer for him was to put him to sleep.

I wanted this cat to stay inside but he has other ideas. On the farm (160 acres) I let him out..... and worry about hawks & coyotes but he is pretty wise about staying out of the open areas. Walks along the tree line and buildings. He adjusts when we are in the travel trailer to staying inside although it takes him a few days and he still puts in a pitch for outside time every morning! He is the best hunter I have ever had which upsets me sometimes because we'd like to keep the bunnies in the shelter belt. I think there are plenty but he has surely thinned them out. The mice & moles he is welcome to!

Although I had convinced myself I did not want another pet I dearly love this cat. I know you had Nutmeg a long time and it is heartbreaking to let them go but I bet there is room for another one in your life someday. It's been a year the 30th of this month since I had to let Flossie go and I still cry sometimes. There is no replacing her and I am not trying to but this guy (and our dog) both needed a home so we made a place for both of them in our hearts. I guess since Flossie left such a big hole, there was room for two.............

This grief journey is long and hard but you will find much comfort here.......................

Flossie's mom....That cat needs to be on the big screen! Sorry to hear about the other kitten and of course, Flossie. I know what it's like trying to keep a cat indoors when all they want to do is go out. I managed to keep Nutmeg inside until I got her fixed (6 mo.)- then forget it she became an indoor/outdoor kitty and every time I moved I would start all over trying to keep her in exclusively but I always caved thinking she would die if she was forbidden from the fresh air. I guess you have to find the right temperament cat to make them an "indoor kitty" and that would not be a siamese or part there of.

We just about made it to 19 years and it was a wonderfully long journey, I think about her so much everyday and when I concentrate on work and forget about her for a minute I get angry thinking how could I forget about her for a few minutes so easily...? I am happy to report that I think a lot more of our good times and not that awful trip to the vet.

Mr. Jingles is absolutely gorgeous! I love your stories about him. He has a lot of personality and I know he will be giving you all sorts of memories over the years.
