So much fun!<br /><br />Stupid humor time. Saw this message yesterday on a sign outside a pet supply store: Cat puns really freak meowt. Seriously. I'm not kitten around.<br /><br />Get well soon. :)<br /><br />*Love dispensing with the article before hospital. I feel like I'm in Mother England or something. I really hope this catches on here in the States. You're a trailblazer, Karen!
