1. Rocky has been doing some serious research into his family's background. He has been driven to do so by a Black Tom cat in the neighborhood by the name of Bubba. Bubba is threatening, beats him up occassionally, and is trying to move in on his wife, Rochelle! You can read about it here
2. Rocky's counselor has given up and given him the go ahead to take matters into his own hands. Rocky watches the Sopranos so he has some ideas of his own!
3. It seems he comes from the Less Family from Africa. He has been able to get in touch with one of his Aunts (Aunt Ruth). Rocky explained the situation to Aunt Ruth and she has graciously agreed to travel to the states for a visit and help Rocky take care of this nasty Bubba business.
4. Since Rocky does not know what his Aunt looks like, he asked her to send him a picture. Since postage is hard to come by in the African bush, Aunt Ruth sent her picture along with her travel itinerary!
5. Rocky feels so much better. He is looking forward to early May!
Thanks DawnL for Aunt Ruth's image! Don't worry Bubba won't feel the need to get even!

Beautiful, gorgeous card with a fantastic story. Brings back memories of my Tyrone cat that had a run in with the neighborhood Tom cat. Cost me a lot of vet bills! Anyway, love your card. The colors are awesome. TFS :0)
