A friend of mine has a little dog with a high-pitched bark. This dog gets excited easily, and since she and her human live in an apartment building, where people (and dogs) are always coming and going, she has many opportunities to get excited and make a lot of high-pitched noise. (Causing some...

I've sent purrs out, I've mourned for the dear losses of our group and nothing has shown up for 2 days. I just noticed that some posts may be showing up from early this morning, just 6 to7 hours later, so hopefully the problem is being fixed. I just want everyone to know that I've been here, I've...

Hi all Well thanks for purring for me to get the job I went for on Monday...I just got an email to tell me I didn't get it... Oh well I've applied for 2 other jobs at that place. If I have to bore the interviewer to death before she surrenders then I will! Lesley

My neurotic cat is dylan. This story is one of my all time greats. I had left dylan outside with the baby who was enjoying a nice new pacifier. I was in the kitchen and heard a screaming about five minutes later. My husband and I ran outside to find the baby covered in paw-prints and no pacifier. A...

Cleo went into a coma last night, we made her comfortable, gave her cuddles, talked to her telling her it was OK to go. Been a very emotional time, she has been my DH constant companion for 15 of her 17 years, she came into my nearly 5 years ago. She slipped away a few minutes ago. Sorry got to...

I have 2 Labrador Retrievers & I was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last...

As soon as this Thursday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to rule on the fate of the most deadly pesticide to birds -- one which also poses significant human health risks.

I just got this email with excellent news from the US Humane Society! Joyce ------------------------------------------------------ The Humane Society of the United States U.S. SENATE PASSES BILLS TO SAVE PETS, HUNTED WILDLIFE August 4, 2006 Dear Joyce,

I think I mentioned before that one vet I called when Abelard was sick said he probably has hairballs. Although I did not believe he possibly could have them, I started feeding an anti-hairball dry food after that, just in case. I have only ever seen *one* tiny hairball come out of Abelard -...

I'm not myself these days. To any and all I've offended, my sincere apologies. Jill

AND ALL OF HIS ANCESTORS TOO!! I'm sorry, ya'll are the only ones that could understand the frustration I'm feeling right now. Barnabus is unwell. He's been sneezing and rubbing his face with his paw. Now his eye is watering and I suspect a blocked tear duct which he's had before. I took off...

Today I have downloaded motzarella so am giving it a go to see if anyone can see me. It has been a most frustrating week without regular access to this ng. Last night aioe downloaded 300 posts for me but this morning it wouldn't connect. Purrs that this works. Lois

Hi all I've always thought if one of the Fabulous Furballs would be responsible for a b**t**d cat trick it would be Sarsi and not dear quiet little Dunzi.....WRONG!!!! Saturday mornings are when I pay back the overdraft on my sleep account caused by staying up too late and having to get to work...

We had a little earthquake in Northern CA tonight around 8PM. I was sitting at my desk at work when it suddenly felt like one of the janitors was rolling a cart of heavy concrete blocks down the hall. It was a 4.4, which isn't major, but is definitely something you can feel. However, it wasn't that...

Anyone else here mess with MySpace.com? I know it gets a lot of 'bad press' in regards to the sexual predators and whatnot, but it is kinda neat. I've been on it for a little over a month now.... kinda getting bored with some of it, but a lot of what I write here ends up there, on my...
