Did any of you see the Ameriquest commercial with the guy cooking supper and the cat? Not PC (catwise that is) but still somewhat humorous. I just saw it this morning on the morning show.

In 1968 Charlie and I bought a small black puff of fur we named Wilhelmina that grew into the most spoiled toy poodle in the world. She lived until 1983. I was bereft when she died as we had been extremely close for fifteen years. If I was sitting down or sleeping she was right next to me. ...

Man is she getting big (please excuse my ugly pug!!). http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Sammy_Mommy/ -- Hugs, CatNipped http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/

This is kind of a weird kismet sort of thing. There's a small book publishing company about 20 miles from me. They do those fundraising cookbooks that schools and church groups put together to raise funds as well as for people who want to publish their own family cookbooks and other books. I've...

Basho has been barfing a lot lately, so last night I decided to put him on the scale (he seems skinny). 7 pounds. That seemed too little for me, but Tom thought it was normal. So I called the vet's office and left a message. They called me back this morning and said his last visit was Dec 2003 (I...

He's exhausted, aching all over and got a migraine. At the weekend we were in France & he did the 500km Tour of Normandy. He was the youngest rider (at youngest age allowed to attempt it), rode with some other Brits, a lot of French & Belgian riders. Not a race - well, it might as well have been,...

I guess maybe I better jump on the bandwagon and ask for purrs like everyone else. Over the years i have prayed for so many of the group with RL problems and job hunting and never thought it would happen to me. It has been a bad year anyway; but April 15 it all came to a head. I got ordered to...

They just rang. Nikki hasn't gained consciousness and her temp has stayed over 41 C for several hours now. She keeps cramping, and on the vet's recommendation, I gave them permission to release her. They asked me if I wanted to b ethere with her, but since she hasn't regained consciousness I'm not...

I try not to think about it so I don't get anxious, but that also means I can't concentrate on anything else either. I have no patience. Never did. Never will. But someone up there keeps trying to teach me. Anyways, all good thoughts, wishes and prayers and purrs will be greatly appreciated. ...

Hey all! Clumsy old me fell down the stairs the other night and I fractured my right hand. I now have a cast on and I'm on Darvocet for pain. g I need some spare purrs please that I won't need surgery to repair my hand. Doctor says the bone that I broke usually has the blood supply cut off to it...

Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). Everyone is doing fine. What happened is that she was going to take Jim to work and he said Sonya was panting and purring at the same time. Pam posted she was in labor before she checked on her herself. Apparently she was...

OK, I worked up the courage to compose an email asking for a salary review (yesterday). I haven't heard back from my bosses (the chairman of the board and the President/CEO). I think I made a pretty good case for why I need and deserve a raise, but with these people you never can tell what...

Just really feel discouraged. Grant seems worse today. He did eat a half jar of turkey baby food at lunch, but tonight he just doesn't want anything. He peed but nothing else. I'm just so discouraged. I called my best friend and she is out all night. So, I guess I just had to express myself here....

Please could HRFL Tiger have some purrs and prayers? We've just got back from the vet and I am worried sick. He's been a bit "OFF" for the last few weeks, nothing particular, just a bit more clingy than normal and a bit quieter, so tonight off to TED we went. The vet listened to his heart as he...

Our kitty Ripley had to have emergency surgery today for bladder stones. She is most likely having it now as I type this. I posted a couple of Ripley pics over on the binary group a.b.p.a I'm hoping there is no kidney damage and that the little girl will come through fine and be back home...

I don't ask for many purrs, however Ryan, a 4 month old baby of a couple who is near & dear to us, and who is effectively Cary's brother is having surgery today. He was born 10 weeks premmie with a grossly enlarged kidney due to a kink in the tube from bladder to kidney not allowing the...

Bonnie is still miserable this morning so I guess I will take her to my vet for a follow up to-day. There is no improvement in her movement and she is sleeping most of the time. I suspect that with strained and torn ligaments it will take ages to heal but guess I need to see if an X Ray shows...

You all heard what happened with Bandit getting burned at the vet - well, the problem was even worse. This morning when I was petting her I noticed matted hair on her back by her tail. I got out the wire brush to get the mat out and her hair came out in a huge clump. A patch of skin about 1/2...

Just a while ago Jake came in and jumped up on the counter to beg for treats. He meowed at me and I heard him! Its been years. I meowed back like I used to do, and in just a little bit it dawned on him that I can hear him again. We had quite a conversation and even some head butts. Jo
