But there's just the two of us and we've been working our butts off since early February to clean, organize and beautify this house and the land on which it sits, and get a garden started. Basically we're at it from dawn to dusk every day... I'm often so exhausted after supper that I can barely...

My LLL came home the other day only to find a small garden snake in his living room, with Raisin in attendance. The snake wasn't dead but it wasn't really moving around, either. I think it was (to use that old U.S. expression) "playing possum". After all, if you had a huge whiskered creature...

It's getting cold here in Canada now, especially at nights. That's why Mooch our resident stray's favourite sleeping spot is his veranda chair we've rigged with blankets and a heating pad. Here's a photo of Mooch in it I took this morning, after he'd finished a big breakfast and jumped back into...

I was eating a bowl of cereal this morning and Archer was laying next to me with his head on my leg. He was wai-ting, waaai-ting, waaaaaai-ting. He finally got tired of waiting and batted my arm, HARD! (no claws) As if to say, hey, that's enough, leave me some!!! ; Then the ingrate took...

Today I was fixing a turkey sandwich. Little Feet came into the kitchen with me, and looked around. Just me and Little Feet, alone in the kitchen. As I opened the turkey box, Little Feet ran into the living room. He came back with Little Boy. Again, Little Feet looked around, then ran into the...

Is Cap'n Pinecone, Esq. is looking for crew again? Will there shortly be some more entries in the ship's Log? Given the title of this message, can we expect to see Aslan of Narnia on board? :-) -- MatSav

Louie is now about 9 months old, and weighs in at almost 10 pounds. He is becoming more toddler-like with time. He still loves his duckie, carrying it around with him all over the house. It gets deposited on my or DH's paper piles regularly. Louie is just as inclined to pick up any small kid toy...

(It should be an Eric Clapton song.) Persia has decided to start tapping me on the nose again. Early two nights ago I didn't go to bed 1AM. I just wasn't sleepy. When I did go to bed I was tossing and turning. I finally fell asleep About 5:00AM. Then suddenly I felt this soft little paw...

That's what they're thinking, I'm sure. I'm not letting them into my room, and it's driving them crazy. Especially Brando, who sits outside in the hall and meows pitifully, until I come out and hug him and pet him and say "Brando! My bestest, sweetest big boy!". I miss them, too. But there's...

I had Mike plant a hydrangea and some dahlias today before the rains came back. I also asked him to go around the yard and see what had to be chopped out from drought death and do the evil deed. Strange news, a bunch of plants we thought were dead were alive and growing, including a hydrangea...

Sorry for being dense but, I did not see any post like this. Who wrote it, I don't know who belongs to an Alan. Even without knowing that I send prayers for your comfort and strength. In the thread "I thought I was dying", Kilikini mentioned that her tumor had come back after she went...

There is an uneasy truce at my home at the moment, the balance of power is subtly shifting. Archer is making his play at being alpha cat. When Da Boyz were still kittens, they were both lowest on the totem pole - Ozzy the lowest only because of his pacifist nature (he's a *BIG* boy, all...

Yes, the Bandages came off today! Hopefully no more trips to the vet for a good long time! Pan is still not putting his full weight on the leg, but I'm not worried, as Dr. McKenzie said to expect this for a week or two, until he gets limbered up, again. The leg looks rather pitifully thin,...

Punish only the bad posts - don't punish the poster. When a group starts to shun a poster across the board, rejecting even their good posts, then it is no longer a decent, well-functioning social group. What it becomes instead is a cult of personality, where certain people become demonized, even...

"Cheryl" wrote in message ... This is about Bonnie. Back when I first saw her as a little cat eating from the stray cats food bowls, I used to call her Baby Shadow. That's the name that is on her first vet records from the ...
