"Aunt Lydia", you rock. Sounds like that nephew of yours needs a guardian angel. I'm sure your BIL will appreciate you helping his boy when he can finally come up for air....he thought for a second and asked if he could send more of his work too. I told him to send anything he wants.
I love encouraging young people and always have a smile for someone who loves the written word as much as I do!
My 8yo niece is saving up money to buy a sugar glider (a little high-maintenance type of flying squirrel.). I suggested to my SIL that a bat or snake would be easier to care for. Nope, niece wants a sugar glider. SIL needs to cut back on her daughter's allowance, she's getting close to affording one. Cracked me up!
Before she spends her money I would encourage her to check with local animal shelters and rescue groups to see if they have any that need a good home.
It might save her some bucks and help her to learn about how serious a decision it is to take on one of these critters.
Good luck!
Thank you, Cheryl and CG, for your kind words. They are great boys and I hate to see them caught in the middle as they are.
Dang, why wasn't Midnight that relaxed when we drove from OH to MA? Even on a tranquilizer, she howled for the first hour and whimpered most of the rest of the way.

Our Bilbo Baggins slept in the laundry basket in the back seat when we drove from MI to VA. She was pretty chill
That is one relaxed kitty.
