Malcolm I bet the house felt empty for two days without Caspar still I am pleased he is nearly back to his old self again and getting up to mischief again, we love our pets and so we like to share them with our friends and we are always interested to know about their welfare, those people who are not interested in pets won't understand how you felt but we all did and were there to comfort you when he was so sick as you said he could have died if you had not taken him to the vet, good on you Casper just keep going and we look forward to hearing about your pranks for a few more years to come, Jenny M
