The Cap and Mimi Show is Over


This past weekend, I returned Cap to Border Collie Rescue of Texas. With the future so uncertain, it was clear that I was not going to be able to give him the training and attention that he needed.


I am going to try to rehome all three cats and two of the fox terriers.

The house is now up for sale--I hope that we can get it sold before the lenders foreclose.

After that, who knows where we will end up?

Denise;

My heart is breaking for you. I just hope the best for you, and some peace of mind.

I was just looking at the U of U jobsite and saw the job I've pasted below. Can't remember if you're geophysics or geochem. At any rate...
