It's Thanksgiving and I wanted a nice peaceful day to enjoy my family, friends, and good food. Background.... DH, Ben, has been going out 3 or 4 times every evening to "take a walk". I was suspicious, because this is a man who is far, far,*FAR* from slim, likes to eat chocolate éclairs and...

It's 11 at night here. There's a raging thunderstorm outside. It's Nathan's birthday - the front door bell went as the parents of one of Nathan's mates turned up to collect her son. It is *evil* out there. Cue one very wet, very cold, very bewildered dog on my doorstep! The dog has a name tag on -...

Hi, my name is Sir Weeble Wobblybottom, but most of you know me as Weeble, and this is my story as best as I can remember it. Mommy thinks I'm napping, so don't tell her that I'm used her pooter ;) I'm a year old now, and I don't remember much about my early days - Mommy tells me I was only as big...

It is with great joy that I announce the newest addition to the household. Her name - just recently decided - is Matareka, which means charming, cheerful and loving. All of which describe her to a tee. She is mostly tabby but is while along the legs and on the stomach and around the neck. I had...

We got the Aussie visa! Hip, hip, hooray!!! I can't believe it, just opened the email first thing this morning, same as every other morning, and there it was! I started bawling and Vino couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I had to dance around the house with him while bawling and I got...

Over three days B and C have developed a fixation with the ceiling in the corner of the lounge. At first I thought they were looking at a creepy crawly of some kind - and then I heard it, scuffle, scuffle, munch, munch, rattle rattle. Rats!!!!!!! We have never had a rat in our house and never...

I'm absolutely desparate. I am going on day 10 of a sinus/migraine/which led to tension and back to migraine cycle. I am taking what seems like four billion drugs that don't seem to be helping. I just took one I used to take a long time ago and while you are supposed to take it at the onset of...

and she is growing fast! She doesn't want to be weaned yet, though :-) New photos uploaded he http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/diatomdeb/album?.dir=/458a Deb. -- http://www.scientific-art.com

I thought Kenzie was doing better. I was wrong :( As soon as the vet tech took Kenzie out of the carrier, she said 'Oh oh!', and went and got the vet. I had not noticed that Kenzie's legs were quite stiff when I put her in the carrier: she was too sick to fight me, and I just slid her from...

Good news: They are so TINY!!! each of them are the size of my foot, and i'm a size 6 1/2. One is black and white with a tiny tux and gloves thing going. The other is orange and white with a little bit of tabby stripes. and they have such TINY little tails and their eyes are a little bluish. ...

Mine don't like it. I leave it on the the bedroom when it's over 90 but they're never in it when I get home. Mostly they just plop on the floor somewhere. I'm just wasting money so I think I'll just leave the fan going when it gets hot. Does anyone have cats that do appreciate a/c?

I've not updated about KFC for a while now. She's doing really well atm. She will not eat anything except "real chicken" unfortunately - I worry about feeding her exclusively on her "ultimate favourite food" as there will be nothing to tempt her if she deteriorates again, and I do wish I could...

Did any of y'all catch this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueAdeZuns3A

I sent BlueBird many of your messages of sympathy and encouragement, as well as a couple I received by e-mail. This was her response. Joy Will tears be a good enough answer? You take care of that end. OK? I just can't think of anything but spending time with Little Bit right now. We've been...

What Helen said. I too have had to take my child to work and have had many compliments on his behavior. Hazel Az "wafflyDIRTYcatLITTERhcsBOX" wrote in message ... Assuming its a once-off, one could argue that it was...

Dear Pat: Aunt Sherry says we need to show you more pictures of us so your kitten fever doesn't wane. We are healthy, and growing, but still very much babies. We have perfect (well, almost perfect) housecat manners, and we are not plant-diggers nor are we trash-diggers. Our litterbox habits are...

Anyone see the crappy Energizer commercial where the brat almost puts the cat in the dryer? NOT funny! If you want to complain about it, please follow this link: (http://www.energizer.com/contact/default.asp) thanks, -L.

How is it, that cats can make you feel about 2 inches tall? His Royal Feline Lordship Tiger is exceptionally good at it! I was given a new cat book last week (to add to my collection of over 200...) about "clicker training" a cat. Presumably, this is how all the animal trainers do it, I...

I want new pictures of The Biskit! Karen

http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_15821656?nclick_check=1 An orange tabby cat that was found injured now lives at a vet clinic, and 'tells' the staff when other cats and kittens are sick and need help! This is a GREAT story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^
