Well, I'm back from Burma, the most different place I've ever been. And I've been to many countries! I got to Yangon on the evening on the 21st and did nothing but check into the hotel at the airport and go to sleep. The next morning I had to get up at 5 am and go to the airport, my plane was...

Hi everyone, I guess I forgot to turn the radar off. That's how they know where to find me. Usually it's cats, but occasionally, it's another furry creature. Saturday we went boating and spent the night at a marina. While we were there, two puppies showed up, obviously dumped. Definitely in danger...

Hi All, I'm not suggesting that you not read this, nor am I suggesting that you turn away. It's a very sad story about a little kitty that I only had for a little more than twenty-four hours. While I was recuperating from a debilitating illness, my sweet Lynda came home one day with an...

Miss Penelope Marie Shirk died early this morning from her Leukemia. She was about four years old and should have lived to be more than twenty. For those who are unfamiliar with Penny's story. We found her shivering and starving on the wood pile stacked on our front patio in September 2001. A...

My 14-year-old (will be 15 on April 8), Bandit, just went in for a dental cleaning today. She had just had a geriatric exam on December 12 and her creatinine and BUN have gone up since then (the vet said she is not concentrating her urine as well as when she was younger). I'm worried that these...

He's out of surgery, the bleeding has stopped but he remains in critical condition at Tulane. So far, they have discovered that our local hospital did not clean his wounds, at all. I could say we're assuming that they didn't believe he'd live so they didn't try very hard. But I'm not familiar with...

Cnder and Rosie would like to invite the RPCA kitties to join them with purrs (doggie drools especially appropriate here) for the puppies we rescued after someone dumped them at a marina a couple of weeks ago. Yeserday I found out the most outgoing of them has been adopted. We hope she is happy and...

I have a kitten, about 4 1/2 weeks old, and it has had many problems for the last couple of weeks. When it was born it was a normal size, the same as the rest, and just recently it has gotten smaller than the rest, is normally fat at the stomache but has very skinny legs and backbones, and has had...

"CATherine" wrote in message ... He was only 11 and a half years old; I loved him for 10 and a half years. He came to me as I was mourning my beloved Max (RB). Dear Amber brought laughter and love to my...

my girlfriend loves cats. says she can't live without hers. i love her. she came to live with me one month ago, leaving her aging (15 years plus) sick cat at her place in NYC to come move in with us in in the future. we live 5000 miles away from her cat.

Meet Jetson. He is a stray kitty. A few months ago he started hanging around. He is a male, shorthair, mainly white with tabby markings. I guess the three lovely girl kitties and one handsome boy kitty that live here attracted him. We didn't want him to be called "the stray kitty", so we...

In 1969, John Rendall & Ace Berg saw a lion cub for sale in Harrods. Cramped & lonely in a small cage, they decided to bring it home. A local vicar allowed them to exercise the cub, now named Christian, in the church grounds but he very quickly became too big for their flat. The only thing they...

I'm at a loss what to do. Skeeter almost never eats anything but dry food. Lindy eats (or has eaten in the past) both wet and dry food. Lindy gets very picky at times, and at one time I kept a record of everything I fed her and how much of it she ate, so I could be sure to buy the kinds of food...

I'd like to apologize to Cheryl for any (unintentional) hurt I may have caused (I've already emailed her privately to apologize and ask her to come back to the group). I noticed that in some of the responses to Cheryl's note some others in the group seemed to be agreeing with her about me (unless...

I spent another largely sleepless night worrying about Ding, as well as a large number of real-world things like house repair before refinancing, doing contracts, getting more contracts, etc. After getting to sleep at about 3AM, being cuddled tightly by Mr. Clark, I woke up again at around 6, and...

Sorry if anyone thinks this is too long. I broke it down into parts and seriously considered posting each part separately, but then decided that if I were one of those reading I'd rather get the whole story in one fell swoop. Anyway, there's Rocky's Story, from his viewpoint. Part One - I Become...

Dear all A new nephew was born at 1755 tonight. Alexander Mark, 7lb 9 oz. All well. Proud Auntie Tina otherwise known as Tweed

So I thought I should get out more so I went along to it. We play scrabble and dominoes and can do jigsaws if we want to, some are doing a 1000 piece which will take them weeks as we only have two hours. They are all nice. I was demolished at dominoes last week by a 90 yo. I am by far the...

The heading says it all. Dr Haney was right to caution me against getting my hopes up too high. This morning I went in to check on his progress. Dr Haney said that when he came in last night at 10 for Rocky's second treatment Rocky seemed fine. Sometime between 10 last night and this morning Rocky...
