From Gus

Well, I must say that October was the hardest month of my young life. All kinds of bad things happened to my family and I just wish that everything could get back to normal.

My Mom and Dad split up and I haven't been able to see my Dad at all. He is my favorite human and I miss seeing him. My Mom thinks it's best if he just stays away for awhile but I'm afraid it will be for a long time and I will forget him! I feel real bad for my Mom. She is so sad. She sits on the couch and cries and I sit right next to her and lick her tears. I don't know what to do to make her happy (I think I heard my Dad say those exact same words).  I've been a real good boy so I hope that cheers her up a bit.

If you read my previous post you already know that I got a little too frisky and broke a window. I still have my stitches but will be getting those out soon. It's been real hard for me because I can't do all the things that I normally do - chase my brother, go for walks, and play in the backyard. I've had to just take it easy for the last two weeks. I think maybe I'm a little depressed. I spend a lot of time just lying on the couch with my Mom watching movies. I can't wait until I can just RUN, RUN, RUN!

The saddest thing of all - my cat-brother, Pip, was killed by a car. We are SO sad and miss him so much. My other cat-brother, Percy, is devastated. He sits in the window sill waiting and crying for his brother.  I sure hope this month is a happier one.
