Awww, but I *like* Irish Setters.

I also lost a leg but need to get rid of a two year old.

My cat weighs 12.5 pounds.

When I'm feeling down I carry him around for a bit. Not only is he warm, fuzzy and usually vibrating, it's a nice reminder that I used to carry that around (plus a lil bit) all the time.

I still need to lose a 2 month old horse but losing one small cat isn't bad for a month of work.

I lost a 2-year old. Woo hoo! I've got a gold brick left to lose, for a total of a 2-month old horse.
