We found out on Tuesday from an ultrasound. We are not doing anything heroic, except making his time with us the best we can. Hopefully it will be more than what the vet indicated. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Nathan loves to sleep around, finding any warm body to catch a nap with.

Occasionally he will come up to the top and snuggle with us. We treasure those times, but seems her prefers 4 legger to 2 leggers. Nathan was found in a field by Animal Services, here in Orange County. SHA pulled him from the shelter, next Feb will be 3 years. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Just wanted you all to know about this little boy.
