Some of you who have been here a while will remember me-I don't post very often. I wanted to share that my wonderful kitty Punkers passed her last day with me yesterday. She started having kidney problems about 6 mo ago, and over the months and weeks she lost weight but bore up well through food...

Rob's (my husband) mom died Tuesday afternoon (Pacific Standard Time) from kidney cancer that had spread to her bone marrow and lungs. It was not a kind or easy death. We all knew it was only a matter of time, but hoped that she would be in less pain and that her passing would be easier for...

My brother had to help his toy poodle to the bridge yesterday. This has been an amazing journey for this lil guy. He went blind and deaf a few years ago, and just as they were ready to say goodbye, they got another dog who brought new life into this old man. He liked to play and follow the...

My dear friend Sherry had to give the greatest gift of love to her 21 year old cat Charlie. She is hurting really bad, she's had Charlie since she was 19 years old. Sherry told me that besides her parents, her longest relationship has been with Charlie. Healing soothing purrs for my friend Sherry...

I make a 120 mile commute every day between home and the office. I normally take one of two freeway routes, depending on which freeways are congested. Today was an expecially bad day - sig alerts on both of primary routes. This meant that I had to drive about 1/3 of the way on freeways, get off on...

We just got a message from Ben's mom that Houdini escaped from his Aunt Lucy's yard and was hit by a car and killed last night. I feel *SO* bad for her! : -- Hugs, CatNipped

Mark's old man, Little Feet, made the trip to the RB last night. Major Purrs and sadness going out to him and Senya.

Hi all, A long-time friend of mine, Chris, just lost her beloved 14-year-old kitty, Miss Bailey, on New Year's Eve; it's been very hard for her because many of her friends and family just don't get how deeply important such a loss of a furfriend is. I told her about the Rainbow Bridge website...

I just heard that Tubby J. Tupelo left for the Rainbow Bridge this morning. He seemed to have died peacefully in his sleep. He will be missed by his humans, Carol Ann and Larry, and dozens more who looked forward to visiting with him during market at the farm. I certainly will miss him. -- Victor...

It's a long time since I posted here, although I do lurk a fair bit. I had two cats, Cinnamon and Sam. Sadly, Sam developed kidney problems, which progressed very rapidly. He died yesterday at the vet clinic, where he was having an IV to try to help him out a bit. He was a lovely cat, very laid...

A stray cat had been hanging around the office for a week or so. He stayed close, but never let us near him. He would come to the door and yell for food, and spent most of the rest of his time in a miserable-looking huddle. When one of the other cats would approach him, he would cringe and cry;...

My sister's cat Tiger had a heart attack last night and had to be put to sleep. She was an older cat, in her teens. Several years ago a lady in her Sweet Adelines choir had to move and she took in the ladies cat Tiger. I think tiger was around 8 then. She's had her at least 5 years. Last night...

Born Oct. 15, 1992 Died Nov. 27, 2008 Luthien crossed the bridge at midnight sharp between Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, exactly sixteen years after coming to her home with me. A pearl of cats. The most faithful, loyal companion of my life for sixteen years. We were young together, and we got...

Does anyone know of a newsreader or OE plugin that lets you filter IPs (not domains). I did some googling yesterday, but did not find what I wanted. I may have to switch to Outlook and write my own. TIA

I thought this was so sad, hearing about their last goodnight :( WALTHAM, Massachusetts (AP) -- Alex, a parrot that could count to six, identify colors and even express frustration with repetitive scientific trials, has died after 30 years of helping researchers better understand the avian...
