Jg får hoppas att situationen reder ut sig. Här i Sverige följer vi just nu den amerikanska valrörelsen och förstår att allt är inte så lysande i USA (vilket inte är Obamas fel).

Du har i alla fall en mycket mer välstädad och modernare spis än jag har.

Hej Sven,

I am beginning to think that we are as cracked as you are, and I am saying that in the most positive way. About 5 year ago, or was it 6, a dog came walking into our yard, obviously a stray and starved. My son, who then lived with us said that we had to keep it, and we did. It is, according to the vet, 90% Labrador and 10%, take your pick. We have enjoyed her company very much and she is a lovely dog. She became, very fast, part of the family.

A couple of week ago, My wife, our dog and I sat outside enjoying the sun and a glass of red. Well, the dog enjoyed a titbit. Then a small kitten walked from around the corner and headed straight for us showing no fear at all. The kitten was obviously abandoned, a bag of skin and bones. Now, I do not like cats for the simple reason that I am very allergic to them but I can not see an animal suffer. So, we minded her and fed her and on the third day after her arrival we took her o the vet for a full examination. There was nothing wrong with the cat except she was undernourished, and we have made her a little house which sits on the bench outside the house but under roof. She is happy, she gets her food and she is putting on weight. And she is very smart and is a proper character. So, I guess she too will stay with us.

It did not take long for our dog to understand that this cat is in the 'no chase' category and they have become good friends. The kitten has even got our dogs to play again. I love to see them play, the little kitten sneaking up on that big, black dog, and sometimes even myself.

I hope that you are taking care of yourself and your health. Your message to Lars worried me. I do not know what health care in the USA is worth but at my age I am taken in for a major medical check-up routinely once a year. I know the status of my health and my doctor has taken a couple of corrective actions to make suer that I am all right. And this is routine and free of charge in Portugal.

Finally, let me wish you and your wife a very Happy Christmas and all the very best for the New Year. Take care, keep well, and keep healthy.

God bless,

Erik.

Tack för den värmande hund och kattberättelsen. Mer ärlig och uppriktig uppskattning och kärlek än den från ett djur, kan man inte få.

En mycket God Jul - eller som vi hällre säger med ord närmre julens mening - Blessed Christmas, till din familj, inklusive fyrfotingarna, från oss och alla våra fyrfotingar

Sven
