Boyfriend has seemed hungry today, and he has already eaten three pouches of wet food, so when he asked me for more a while ago I decided to give him some dry kibble.

Since this is the season to be merry, it should be a time for mirth and merriment for everyone -- including the family dog. But the holidays present...

Marble, a.k.a. PsychoCatFromHell, is a PITA of a night time. The cats have the freedom to come and go during the day, but at night they are *in*. Marble hates this. He is nocturnal. I wouldn't mind, but he has decided that the rest of the household should be nocturnal too... Then there's the...

I spent the day cleaning despite a bad headache (it actually seemed to help) and everything was all nice and clean and vacuumed and neutral smelling. Then I put some laundry in and sat down to grade. Took a break and made a nice piece of salmon in marinade I had bought. I thought, "Oh, I'll broil...

Lilly Whiskers has a completely toxic ass. She is the only cat I know who can use the litter box and everyone, including the dog, runs for cover. Infact, her poop is *SO* toxic, she could single pawed replace the UK biological warfare capeability. I know what it is (she's currently in the process...

I'm watching a really interesting Animal Planet special on WWII messenger pigeons. When I watched "Valiant" (an animated movie about WWI messenger pigeons) with my grandchildren, I thought it was a made-up story (not about the messenger pigeons, but about the falcons who were their enemy). Not...

My husband went into the hospital last week for what should have been a routine stay related to his heart condition. His kidneys are now failing and the doctor told us if they can't turn this around he's going to die. I can't stop crying. Fi

Hi all, I'm sorry for having been gone for awhile but Real Life has just been so intense that I may just be checking in and out when I can. Have had on-going crises with my mom in Florida and just recently went down there (timing was poor; it was during Wilma -- got to experience my...
