*SIGH* well I made it through the day, and now I'm finally relaxing, kinda I had a big cup of coffee this morning, but still wasn't operating on all four cylinders. I walked into work and said said, "Good kitty" to a dog I was about to restrain, much to the amusement of my co-worker This dog...

Move over, bells, name tags etc. Saw this today: http://www.petinspect.com/ Quite a cute gizmo... Cheers Cathy

At last some pics of what you sent, just during my hospital stay and lots more cards later. http://www.possibleplaces.com/tweed/

I attempted to post this in the morning, but DH (grrrr) decided that we needed to fix a dinner to take to his Mom & Step-Dad. Between rounds of cooking, I typed up this descriptive and entertaining (I thought) story of the fund-raiser I worked at last night. But I failed to save it as a...

Pat had not heard back from you after last nights scare are you okay? Still purring on this end for you. Skritches, KittyLady and Harvey

Well, it's been a little over 5 weeks now since my poor girl Shandy had such problems with delivering. Her surviving kitten Reverse is growing up very well. She's so active! She's started using everything that moves as a chew toy, including mommy's tail and my fingers, and youch!, are those tiny...

Okay, this afternoon I check into a hotel in my own town (!) and await my LLL's arrival in the late afternoon. My menu for tonight is set. I've decided to prepare lightly breaded pan-fried tilapia fillets (a mild white fish) with rice pilaf and steamed zucchini (courgettes). I'll have the...

My lil Casey is so cute and his favorite toy is those little square catnip filled pillows. They are about 3x3. He just lays on his side and picks that pillow up with his paws and rubs his cheeks on it. Then, he starts licking it and eventually drooling begins. The pillows have been soaked before...

At Sea The fat wench ghosted away for a few days, so I haven't been able to get her to write for me. She didn't even send a replacement, so I was stuck with Mrike, Gem and The Blonde Wench as staff until she got back today. Needless to say, PawRob and the fat wench missed some of the excitement....

Urgh........ I got absolutely NO sleep last night. I spent the night tossing and turning and next thing I know, I hear my roommate's alarm going off at 5:30 It varied from I couldn't get comfortable, to my brain not shutting up cause it kept thinking about stuff, to my body and brain not...

If any of you would like a glimpse into the doggie daycare I work at (has shots of the rooms and some of the dogs) http://www.iadl.ca/newsletter/jan-2005-low-res.pdf and have a peek. I am really enjoying working there. The dogs are great! I come home every day full of hair and doggie slobber,...

Hi Victor, I was wondering how Basho is doing since you last updated. Is he eating better and how is the raw chicken diet doing for him? I hope he's showing some improvement. I also wondered if you could suggest where you got your baby scale -- I think I'm going to need to start weighing Omar. ...

I had a very hard time sleeping last night. I kept tossing and turning and twice I woke up thinking that I was late to my final. I finally dragged my butt out of bed, had breakfast and made it to school, after a brief stop at Starbucks. I wasn't jittery, but i was twitchy, from the lack of sleep...

Hi all, Karen is a bit under the weather so she asked me to post a couple of pics to webshots for her. FYI Scout is rapidly approaching 15lbs and all of it solid muscle. Here are the links:

Today our clowder met their cat sitter for the next week while DP and I are on vacation. Tyche was actually NOT hateful, instead she purred and rubbed against everyone! (Something is terribly wrong.) Smokey was a bit timid, but once I Picked him up, he started pimpin' the sitter and his...

Hi, Is anyone familiar with Majesticoon cats? I keep seeing references to them on the internet. Having an ordinary tabby ourselves I am not so knowledgeable about these more exotic types. Mognusticat Servant. http://mogular.blogspot.com

After reading someone's post about how many of her bday cards were cat related, I wanted to share this. This past Sat. I went to the Strawberry Festival in Troy, OH. One of the vendors had some really cute animal-related signs he had made. They had combinations of 2 cats, 2 dogs, 1 cat & 1 dog,...

Does anybody have a snail mail address for Jean Hobbs' home? I hate sending stuff to the hospital just in case she has left. It can be email to me at if you don't want to post it here. TIA Jazz's mama -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return
