one of the things that my spinal surgery took away was my ability to write. I can now do it, but not great yet.

I have just brought home a blue tick hound that someone dumped a week ago at the rest area. The kids that work there are, retarded for the most part. By the time I got there, the dog was so hyper. I got her to the TED and she is not chipped. He was too busy to mess with her today so wouldn't...

We had to put Cinnamon to sleep a few days ago. He was about 17 years old, and had a tumor in his mouth. Also had kidney trouble. He wasn't eating. It was time.... He was a very friendly tabby cat. Wish cats lived longer. Now we sent him to the Rainbow Bridge where he'll feel better...

If I wrote my autobiography, people would think it belonged in the fiction section. Not all these things could *possibly* happen to one person -- except for me. Last Monday, I stepped out into the hall to find a group of the cats surrounding something that looked to me like a weird double...

Is anyone else enjoying (???!!!) the latest round of ice/sleet/snow we're getting this a.m.? (I think it's headed to you, Pat, if it's not there already) I am just praying that the weather people are wrong, because they're expecting power failures statewide tonight because of ice...

The Haven, our local no-kill pet shelter is having a candlelight vigil for homeless and lost pets. I'm getting ready to head out the door now. Will fill you in later. Pam S.

What a stitch. I have been locked up with people who are saner than this guy. The post really isn't what it appears from the subject heading. It is the delusions of someone who isn't on their medication at the moment. I'm not saying to laugh at the guy, but it is an incredible insight into just...

I actually went out yesterday, it was a very warm day, and as we pulled into a disabled parking spot, I caught a glimpse of a small dog locked in a very hot car. Poor thing was so drenched, and panting, and so I called the police on my cellphone...next thing I know, police car, and a tow truck...

Hi cat-lovers, I have a list of CAT NAMES. Here is the link: http://www.flippyscatpage.com/catnames.html. Please check if your cat's names are on the list, and if not you can add them. Regards, Flippy in Melbourne, Australia. Catpage: http://www.flippyscatpage.com

Yours truly is back in town and missing the cat terribly, but at least I can talk about them to you guys. Over 800 messages to read, so purrs and good vibes all around first. If you just want to go straight to the pics without reading my long-winded commentary, they're...

Kittens, Diamonds and Prosthetic Eyes, Oh My! CINCINNATI, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- If plumbers rewrote the song, "The 12 Days of Christmas," it might go something like this ... 4 baby kittens, 3 tree roots, 2 diamond rings and one prosthetic eyeball. In fact, each year Roto-Rooter technicians...

My diabetes has been giving me a really bad time these past few days. I've been becoming hypoglycemic in the afternoons and thank goodness DH is home or I may have been in a lot of trouble Monday. Don't remember what happened but I regained my sanity in the emergency room of the hospital. They said...

Marina, thought of you a lot today; sending mega-purrs and hugs from us all. Christine, Omar, Midnight, Oreo, Robin & Tucker

Top of the list has to be Trouble. I didn't give Trouble her name. Hubby did. Or maybe she gave it to herself. She certainly earned it. The night we found her it took about two hours to catch her, one hour to research how to make kitten formula, another hour to go to a store for ingredients,...

Any of you using the Purina Indoor formula cat food? Our cats go on strike if we don't keep a bowl full in their eating area at all times. By the way our cats are totally indoor out door cats. They have unlimited access to the outside, but they use the litter box, eat and drink in the house. ...

http://tinyurl.com/2elfl BILLINGS, Mont. -- Billings firefighters usually don't do pet rescues, but Battalion Chief Tim Bergstrom said they agreed to respond to the pleas of a city resident whose cat had a litter of kittens in a tree. The woman called a veterinarian for advice, and he confirmed...

A guy at work has a 16-yr. old cat (at least 16 the vet says). He has 3 teeth and only eats canned food. He only likes Fancy Feast. This co-worker found the cat left in his apartment when he moved in. He took it to the vet and had to get all the shots including rabies, license, etc. and...

Have been preoccupied, about a week, just skimming rpca. Have even whipped the Evil 3 into a frenzy of nerves here, even porker short furry people that they are, all of us anxiously awaiting word from Denver on imminent arrival of my first barekitten there.....early today - St. Paddy's (and *no...

Since returning from France there's been a visitor to Chateau Simmons. One that is not welcome according to the feline residents - especially according to Waffles. It's a lilac tortie point (I think) siamese, intact male. As the doors & windows are left open when we are in, so that Waffles, Francis...
