Joy, our dog (friend of all cats) flew the coop this morning. Jona walked out; I hadn't yet got the leash on Joy and she followed. It being lovely weather, she enthusiastically bounded off. I raced after her but she was soon out of sight. She does this every once in a while-- gets all happy,...

Was planning on doing a whole bunch of errands today, inclunding picking up paperwork that i need to turn in for my work study. And i locked myself out of the apartment. Grrrrr... The manager wasn't in and the front windows and sliding glass door on my patio was locked. I managed to go around...

Betty has problems with her jaw, making her drool and bleed on herself, and unable to clean properly, so I've been wiping her down when necessary, and keeping her clean the best I can. Last week, I had to give Betty a bath for the first time. Actually, it was more of a shower. I had just gotten...

Last evening Mooch, our little tuxedoed resident stray, spotted a bird while he was eating from the food bowl we always put on the veranda for him when he appears. In a black and white flash he abandoned the bowl and leapt for the bird, caught it in mid-air and made off with it. It was sad, but it...

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm going to be writing, or at least trying to write, Pine Cone's sea adventures. Thanks to Helen M, who will be working with me, we have a possible "in" with a British publisher. I don't want to use anyone's cats' names without permission from the waitstaff. If...

I haven't seen this mentioned here yet: Fresh Step has the cutest commercial out. Basically, they say if your cat has trouble finding its litterbox, than you must be using Fresh Step. During the narration, a cat goes to the front door and there sits a bloodhound. He's there to help the cat find...

This poor abandoned German shepherd ... He's 27 pounds. He's an old guy. He should be enjoying his last few years in a soft cushy bed with a loving family. Instead he's at death's doorstep. I really really hope that in the last couple of minutes of this show, he'll be shown healthy and adopted....

My acupuncturist's wife / secretary has been working on trying to get my claim to my insurance company -- they gave her the wrong routing numbers or something. Anyway, finally it goes through, and what does my *lovely* insurance company do? 1) First visit -- rejected because supposedly they don't...

Persia keeps staring at me with those big green/gold eyes of hers. It's not time yet for her to be fed but she's doing her darndest to psych me into thinking it is. She's purring very loudly and saying "meowma". Oh! She just this moment tried a new tactic... she licked my foot! :D Me: "It's...

I saw him on Thursday. It was mostly just a preliminary meeting to talk about my symptoms. He's waiting to get the test results from my doctor's office before deciding what tests to give me. He said that random assignment will get the same results as a GI specialist going solely by symptoms --...
