I stopped at the little store down the street and there was a very young dog out there with teats hanging almost to the ground. Obviously a stray who had recently given birth and had pups someplace. Another guy and I each bought a can of Alpo and put it out by the store under the awning where...

In my garden last night. Bold as brass, lying stretched out on the grass, soaking up the evening sun. A young cat - estimate to be about a year old, and unneutered (BAH! to last bit). Absoutley gorgeous - too pretty to be a boy, really - a mackerel tabby, with subdued colouring, white toes, white...

Woke me up at 5 am.... I had wanted to sleep until 7 but by the time I got the Feliway diffuser plugged back in, I was clear awake. This was the weekend that I was finally going to make it to the swap meet in Cabool, but at the last minute had to call it off due to rain. And, oh boy did we ever...

The unthinkable has happened: Japan is positioned to remove critical protections for whales at this Friday's International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting, spelling disaster for the world's whales. Urge President Bush to hold Japan accountable for their actions against whales. Help us make...

There are some new visitors at the door. First is the little grey girl kitty, who rushes into the apartment when I put food out in the morning. She runs around, trying to see where the food is, then hurriedly follows me out to where I put food out. Picking her up, I find her to be a sweet but...

I posted a picture of Asterix a few days ago. After a lot of looking I found a picture of his brother, Oscar. Oscar was much the boldest and friendliest of the two, and used to visit more often. http://community.webshots.com/photo/421382746/2999502190075823146hXSEAl That's my lap he's sitting on...

It Is The Soldier It is the Soldier, not the minister Who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet Who has given us freedom of speech.

The depravity of the following is *SO* disgusting. In the news here today.... Two men accosted a family (mother, father, four children) at a car wash and brandished guns, demanding all their cash. The family didn't have any cash so the men proceeded to throw the children out of the car and...

I was lying on my back in bed last night and I heard this motor approaching. It got louder and louder and finally it settled on my pillow next to my head. Whew, at least the motor was warm and furry! Vino was meatloafing right next to my head, his folded under arms were pressing against my ear and...

I was vacuuming last night, which is a rare occurrence. Yeah, as much as I love my Dyson, it's lucky to get used twice a month. I am *not* a housekeeper by any stretch of the imagination. But I digress.... Rita climbed on the couch and watched the Sucky Monster with great interest. Whenever it...

On Wednesday evening, after work, I was talking to the security guard at my workplace parking lot. He called my attention to an animal passing through the lot, only 30 feet or so from us. It was a mink, about 18 inches long, not counting the tail. It appeared to have been injured, possibly by...

I don't get it. Are kids like dogs? LOL It's all over the news that there is a frequency that kids can hear and most adults cannot. It was said that when it was discovered, the tone was used in a store somewhere in Europe that had a teen population that the proprietors didn't want loitering, so...

Yeah only 30 more to go so they say

Dear rpca folks, please look gently upon me, I who may seem to be an interloper and I guess am properly called a "lurker" (although I have posted just a bit here and there). I began subscribing to this newsgroup when the good folks here were on Tak's case about getting a cat. And avidly followed...

All of you who are fascinated with the beady little eyes, the wiggly little snouts, and the spiny little bods must already know there is a Hedgehog category on Cute Overload, right? http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/hedgehogs/index.html Theresa Stinky Pictures:...

Thanks for the purrs and other good vibrations. I just got of the phone with Jim on Genesis in Savannah, Georgia. The storm passed with about 5 inches of rain (over 2 days) and a lot of wind (about 30 mph) and a 9.5-foot tide. This is only about a foot higher than usual, so not bad. Genesis is...

Hi my name is Rosie and I'm staying with meowmie Shirley until I find a forever home. You're probably thinking why someone as sweet a I am doesn't have a home already, well I'm only 8 weeks old and I got lost. I can't remember how long I was lost for but a nice hoomin found me and took me...
