Dave wants to get one for cutting fallen trees in the national forest for our woodstove. So I was looking around online and took note of this one: http://www.amazon.com/Poulan-PP3516AVX-16-Inch-2-Cycle-Anti-Vibration/dp/B000E1587U/ I thought it looks adequate for what we want, and is probably...

I woke up this morning with a clear impression of a purring cat in my arms, tears on my face, and Bucky's red glitter ball in my hand. I have no idea where the glitter ball was. Now, Little Boy *could* have been the culprit, as he sometimes sleeps across my neck and purrs in my ear, but it...

This is what it's like when Persia taps me on the nose: http://icanhascheezburger.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/funny-pictures-cat-beeps-nose-of-other-cat.jpg Now, of course, I have an earworm of a certain Beatles song... Jill

Hermione, our newest and youngest owner has been carving, or is it cuddling, her position in our household. She loves to stretch out next to her grandpaw and snooze with him. He also likes to slap at my hands as I read. She invaded Mandy and Jim's room after Mike and Mandi Lynn went to...

I haven't had a BF in 5+ years so it was very joyous to wake up to fine on my pillow a large rose, a large box of chocolates and a box. In the box was a cute red and black t shirt and a pretty white skirt. Big Smiles and kisses later, i got dressed in the outfit, sans white skirt, (I was gonna run...

Brooke has responded very well to the first round of chemo. The nurse said today that she may even get to go home tomorrow or the next day. She'll have special instructions on how to flush out the "central line" and keep it protected, and she'll have to have an injection every day (my...

I got an email a few minutes ago. It said: "They are feeling right at home and have become very smitten with my husband Olaf. Kids are loving every minute they are here." I'm not too surprised that they are taking to the husband, as I was their primary person when they were with us. This good...

I noticed a small patch of thinning hair when i was giving her a chin scratch and it looked like dirt. I first thought it was leftover food or something. But after a few weeks i noticed it was spreading so i checked my books and with an RVT friend and it looks like acne. Awww, the princess...

This morning I noticed Rusty walking around with his tail down. I have never seen him like this over the years. He seems out of sort. I patted him and he screamed at me and bared his teeth when I touched his tail area. He has never done that to me. So I called the vet and get an appt. for this...

She is still sneezing but has started to eat again. Favourite now is ground beef, chicken is out. She does not know how close she was to RB (or maybe she did) She must have known that I'd been discussing her future with TED i.e. what to do if she still won't eat. It's been very difficult to keep...

No, really. Every day when I get home from work, she has to scold me, long and loudly, about HOW DARE I LEAVE HER ALONE ALL DAY???? I feel suitably chastised. Meanwhile, I have to go to the bathroom, so she races ahead of me so she can scold me in there, too. *sigh* So...I'm doing my business...

You mean what I tell these nosey old bats when they want to set me up with some of their friends? "I will find someone when I find a man who can support me in the style to which I wish to become accustomed". It's mostly Bs but they don't know that. No, I don't want someone who drinks like a...

I was browsing the headlines during my lunch break today, and something caught my eye: "Colonel's secret recipe in new, safer vault at KFC" I thought to myself, who is the colones and what does that have to do with Kitty Farm Cat? Duh. Isn't confusing Kentucky Fried Chicken with Kitty Farm Cat...

Today's Houston Chronicle has a report about a man who went for a walk, heard a noise overhead--and discovered a kitty trapped under the Beltway 8/IH-10 interchange (nearly 3 stories in the air!). You can see pictures here of the cat and the SPCA making the rescue, using a huge piece of...

Hey fellow group members! My name is Willox Perez and just introducing myself. How are you guys doing? Here is a quote =) "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy"

Hi everyone, This is a sweet story about Sam the koala - can view the video clip here too: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25038828-1243,00.html Apparently Sam held his hand out and asked for water. The firefighter was very happy to be able to give Sam the water. I am particularly devasted...

I signed on to my computer a few minutes ago and all my newsgroups were there except rpca. I've had to re-subscribe and have downloaded nearly 10,000 posts. I now have no idea what I have read, or what I have replied to. They are of course now all unread. I will have to delete everything that...

Emily paid her annual visit to the vet's today for a checkup and shots, and lived up to her good reputation. I've written about her checkups before, and things were no different this time. Just once she questioned being caged on the drive to the vet's office, but other than that she was a model of...

I had been hearing meowing comming from under the house for several days. Since it sounded like Chloe and I knew she was frequently out in the yard (at the moment she is interfering with my typing), and the only other missing cat was Snowball, and not seeing her for weeks on end is normal,...
