Hey guys. Still busy over here. Appreciate the dog/cat comments but ... none of that is going to work here. First, Sammy is not playing, he is dead serious about this cat. Second, the way the house is set up a baby gate won't work and there is no way I'm going to confine this sweet, sociable cat by locking her in her room. All the animals come and go at will and there is no way to separate them. But I appreciate the suggestions.
I may have good news, or at least hope, concerning my DD. I got some info from her earlier and called her dr office and told them what's going on. They have a liaison person who will call me back. Apparently this sort of thing happens to other people too! I really hope she can help. It's a glimmer of light anyway and for that I am truly grateful.
And in other news. Yesterday GC took Jenny to the groomer. She keeps finding something slimy to roll in that drirs stiff and sticky. It doesn't smell and we couldn't figure out what it is. I thought, egg? But no yolk. Well today GC spotted her walking away from the hen house with an egg in her mouth! GC told her to drop it and she did but it broke. She's been stealing my eggs!!! No wonder I only get 2 or 3.
Thief! Eggggg suckerrrr! 
Lol. Well I know how to fix her. I'll fix all of them! I'll set up a nest of eggs on the floor of the hen house and hot-wire them. That'll learn 'em!
