All is dark but I can make out the outline of a squirmy Little White Thing on the bed. Then my China-Doll turns and I can see her big eyes, and she purrs. I do not need light to find her thick coat, and under my petting she squirms even more. Blessed be, Elizabeth Baha

My 19 year old tortie, Squeeky, left for the Rainbow Bridge during the night. She had been in failing health for years, and over last 6 months she just faded away. :( She will be buried in my back yard, with her 'sister', Siobhan, near the rosebush we planted 3 years ago. Rest now,...

The antibiotic seems to have helped some. He's feeling better and is up and about more but he's still not eating well. The only thing he will willing eat is a bit of kitten chow and his cat treats. He doesn't even want to touch the canned food now. I took a bit of ham today and chopped up...

It's off to the vets for the second time trying to figure out why he's loosing weight. Three weeks ago we had blood work done, kidney, liver & thyroid, infections and nothing going on. But he's lost 1/3 of his body weight. His teeth are all ok one looks a bit off but nothing that needs to...

I guess that tooth hurt way more than any of us realized. Since coming home yesterday he has eaten 3 cans of fancy feast himself, a bunch of cat treats and a good size portion of kitten chow. This morning it must be bothering him some he just ate a little bit. I gave him is pain medication a...

He went this morning to have that tooth removed. When she got a good look at his teeth she found that the one fang was starting to have some problems so she yanked it out to. The rest of his teeth look good so he shouldn't have any more problems. He's really groggy right now and stumbled...

http://gothamist.com/2008/01/29/adorable_upper.php Harbor seals occasionally venture into our local waters. When they haul out to sun themselves on a pier, they always get a lot of attention. ;) -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net

I still don't have pictures - sorry, too many errands to run. I am letting the kittens out in the living areas for short periods of time starting today. OMG Such cuteness. They are so fuzzy. And the black one does the kitten side jump, crab walk thing. They are chasing each other around. And the...

Persia has eaten one version or another of Hill's r/x kibble for a decade. Thankfully she LOVE LOVE LOVES the food. :-D I don't LOVE LOVE LOVE the packaging. The zipper seal on the bag doesn't seal well at all. I pour half of it into a tightly sealed plastic bin. The food that I don't pour...

One of Lilys christmas presents from Claire who babysat her over Christmas, was a catnip furry/felt mouse that squeaked realistically when Lily bit it. Only Claire didn't tell me it sqeaked when she droped it off with Lily. Last night, Madam Mischief was playing with her sqeaky mouse....

You know those cartoons where critters have spiral wire springs on their feet, and they go "Sproing!" These kittens don't need the springs. I'm letting them out once in awhile to play, and they are the sproingiest little things I've ever seen! sproing! sproing! sproing! Ginger-lyn

I know I haven't been posting much. It's hard talking about Betty these days. But she's made it to spring! I took a picture of her a few days ago when she started using her warm weather squirrel lookout spot again, which has gone dusty and unused all season. I never thought I'd see her there...

Frogs are singing in stock tank. They laid large ball of eggs a few nights ago. Some of last years tadpoles are big, fat and might turn into frogs this year. The cats are sniffing everything, rolling around grass & weeds, slobbering on plants, to mark territory, playing chase, climbing trees,...

It's springtime in the Rockies -- with SNOW and COLD! It is a heavy, wet snow and TuTu won't venture out to the patio today. Purrs that outside critters have shelter from the storm which is heading east MLB

We had a few beautiful springlike days and I even saw a flock of very large birds heading north. When I opened the door this morning, everything was covered with a blanket of white. TuTu decided it was no day to look out so she went back to bed in front of the heat register. -- MLB

Spring has well and truly sprung in my bit of heaven on earth. One of the lovely things is the obvious *joy* the cats have when they get out into the garden and have the wind in their whiskers. Francis just adores rolling about on the soil... you can hear him purr so loudly as he's rolling...

At the rabies prevention clinic Animal Control has each Spring, I learned that not every adult can spell tortoiseshell, that cats mind the ride to the clinic more than they mind the stick (but I knew that already), and that you can get free spaying and neutering (but too few people use that...

YIKES!!! 12F this morning, with a windchill of 20 below. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War

Jeanette said she liked to get stories from 'down under' at this time of the year - so here's what is going on in our garden. It's rose time, yellow, white and pink bush roses are out and dark purple peony roses too - the lilacs and snowball trees are finished and have beneath them a carpet of...
