There were cute shaped ceramic cat food dishes on clearance last week at PetSmart so I picked up a couple of new ones. One should be for Princess Rita because it says "Princess" right in the middle. LOL Well, that's what crossed my mind. The other one is the shape of a kitty head and it...

Hi Yowie, How's your knee? Purrs it's improving by now. I can only guess at how colorful it must be. Hope you're getting around okay and your family's taking care of you ;o) Christine

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...

Just letting you know about an excellent book on the animal protection theme…Bad Hare Days by John Fitzgerald (Olympia Publishers). It’s the memoir of a lifelong animal protection campaigner and it’s a real page- turner, a most compelling and inspirational read. Because the author hasn’t the...

I had a bad night, and finally got up at 3:15am. Took my shower, then went to feed the Princess. She wasn't there. Okay, sometimes that happens, and she comes in later, complaining that I woke her up too early. Half an hour later, no Rita. I wandered around calling her and looking in all of...

Caliban will go in to have his teeth cleaned today. He's young and healthy and I have nothing to worry about with the sedation, but I still worry a bit about my sweet baby boy. Will update when he's home again. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

too much going on right now, purrs and prayers will be given to all that need them, Lee

Hi Victor, How is Basho? I hope things are improving for him and for ya'll in giving the sub-q fluids. Thinking of you. purrs, Christine

Hi Gandalf, Wondering how Kenzie is doing now? Can you post an update? Christine

My oldest brother and his girlfriend arrived Sunday morning to pick up the furniture from house after my mother's death. Things haven't exactly gone smoothly. Let's just say I'd reserved a rental truck (think UHaul) but when circumstances required me to put it off for a day they'd already...

My pain management doctor decided, for some reason, to cut back on my pain medicine - I won't go into all that entails, but I really could use some coping purrs just now. -- Hugs, CN

She was found wandering on a major state road starving when she was a couple of months old. She was taken to a shelter medicated and spayed. She was eventually put up for adoption. I found her at Petsmart and she was judged to be six to eight month's old. We chose April 1st to celebrate...

The little 5 year we asked for purrs and prayers for, her father just called and said she came through surgery and is doing well. The surgeons got what they had hoped for. Now, just waiting for her to heal and then they will make the schedule for her to go to Texas. Thank you all so much for...

and time to iron the scrubs....today is my last day of freedom before I head back to a 9 to 6 job. Working 5 days in a row again will take some getting used to since I haven't done it for 6 months. I brought out the stethoscope from under a pile of stuff on the dresser. How could I check to see...

It was one of those moments when you'd swear your cat understands just what you say, and isn't the least bit happy. I had just given him his antibiotic liquid, and he got up and walked across the bathroom and sat on the towel I had folded and laid on the floor to replace the bathroom mat he had...

(or thumbs pressed for those in Germany) Kitty FC is still eating like a horse, cat food. It's gimme gimme that cat food ;-) Unbelievable. Let's hope it continues. It's such a relief for me to not have to roast chicken legs for her every day which I've done for the past year or so, and then...

Licky has urinary cystitis again, resulting in irritation of the urinary tract and some blood in his urine, so he's at the vet's today being checked for crystals. I was out of town last week and I think he got stressed out because (1) I was gone, and someone he doesn't trust was feeding him, and...

My sweet boy has been at RB for six months. I think about him every day. Dante is a lot of fun, though. He makes me laugh every day. -- Theresa and Dante Stinky Forever: http://pets.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh

From my daughter... Update March 27, 2009 Well, nothing too exciting has happened - and in our situation that's a good thing! After the last bandage change on Monday, March 16th, the following Wednesday Brooke broke out in a mild rash at her central line site. The rash wasn't too bad but she...

My mother apprantly had a mix-tape of songs that my sister & I had recorded off the radio when we were still young lasses living at home. She is very fond of all the songs on there, being reminders of her teenage music-mad daughters at that time. Of course, it suffered the death of many a...
