Persia is probably 15 years old now. And her voice has changed. When she first came to live with me the vet guessed she was half Siamese, half Russian Blue. So she's always been rather vocal and sometimes her voice was a *little* raspy. Lately her voice is raspier than ever. Less prolonged,...

Still here. I though the foxes would have had it by now. I'll have to dispose of it soon. Bet now:. 1. I will put the dead rat in the trash bin. 2. I got fed up with what the neighbours did and will throw it over into their garden Tweed

I simply insert in into everything I cook. Its in what I cooked today and will remain so.

from my group where I play scrabble and do jigsaws every Tuesday, my friend and I came across a skip with great pots to grown tomatoes in, or beans etc. We asked the official looking people there if we could have them and they said yes, and help yourself. It was a cannabis farm being dismantled -...

Goofy seems to be well mannered lately. I have seen him crossing paws eloquently quite often lately http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u641/SmooglyBoogly/goofymannered_zps00f5fce9.jpg

Our two cats, Edgar and Agatha, have always been picky eaters. They like fish stuff, especially with gravy and cheddar in it. When they first came, two years ago (they're brother and sister, about 4 now) we tried Fancy Feast and quickly discovered that if it was "classsic" (pate), they looked...

This is the time of year when your house spiders that you never knew you had come out. It's the breeding season. I got huge one yesterday, but unable to get to her to gather her in a towel and flip her outside. She was crafty enough to get into into a crack. I watched her crawling across my...

Actually, just the hummingbird. Early this morning Persia was on the back of the couch, which is next to a big window. She was snoozing in the sun. :) There is a hummingbird feeder hanging about a yard away from the window. A little hummingbird came to drink and spotted Persia. It left...

to beg some of the big plant pots from the officials who were clearing out a cannabis farm on Tuesday! they said help yourself. I had to walk part of the way home with them I'd left my car a way away so I hoped a drug dog would not come along and sniff me ;-) I might go back tomorrow for the...

Just let's say we got it done. I sat her on my knee on the way to the vet and put her into Boyfie's wooden box when we got there because she just has no manners at all whatsoever and she barked if she thought she could even see a dog and screamed at them and scrabbled at my lap. I have no idea...

Joy wrote: During World War II, the idea was that most of the food was sent to the troops, so we were encouraged to plant "Victory Gardens". As we lived on a large lot, with the house at the back, and nothing in front, my Dad (who grew up on a farm), took that to heart. We...

She always knows when I've brought home a new bag of her Rx kibble. I brought it in and she can smell it even through the heavy duty plastic bag it comes in. She couldn't wait for me to get it open! She was prancing around my feet, talking to me. :) Okay, okay, pretty girl! Just a minute!...

I found one deceased on the path down to my chickens yesterday. I knew Boyfie couldn't have dunnit as it was far too big for his comfort zone so my neighbour a few doors away who also has chickens are probably poisoning. I've chosen not to use poison, I did used to once but I saw a rat dying...

I've been feeding the cats in the bathroom, but it creates a big mess on the floor which is pretty annoying. Nothing like stepping on a nice sharp piece of dried cat food in bare feet. Or stepping in wet food for that matter. So, partly because my mom is coming to stay for a week, I needed to find...

another name for Spazzie. I am thinking of Ollie for Oliver. In the movie Oliver, Oliver says "please sir, I want some more". That's Spazzie when she is hungry - which is all the time.

Duffy and Selina are doing very well together. I have some chairs with skirts, and they have a game that they play over and over again. One will be under the chair and hidden by the skirts, the other will be outside. A paw keeps poking out from under the skirt, and they will bat at each...
