Jobs and financial: ------------------- Seanette and hubby, Nancy and Dan, (I know there are more in this category but can't find them on this slow connection. Please remind me!) Dan I remember Jill talking about a job application, and wasn't Baha asking for job purrs for her DH Luis (sp?). I think your schedule is perfect for me - I'll certainly join in this Saturday and then again on our scheduled day. Hugs, CatNipped |

First off, I don't really know a whole lot about your type of bird, both of mine are cockatiels, but the advice would probably work for Ava. From what I've read and been told, egglaying not really good for the bird health, since they can become eggbound and may need an adjustment to the diet (may need calcium, which they can get from a cuttlebone which you hang from the side of the cage). Now that she has an egg, leave it alone until she decides to abandon it, or she;ll jest keep laying eggs until SHE decides to stop. There are a couple things you can do in the future to discourage egglaying once she stops this cycle. First would be just not to provide an area she'll think is a good nesting area. My two will lay eggs on the bottom of a flat cage, but not a wire mesh. Limiting the about of light is also a good bet. Back when Sunny was an only bird, she started laying when her cage was next to a window. Over in a bird newsgroup (unfortunately taken over by flame and spam, so I quit reading it) they advised keeping the cage in a corner with a light on a timer so that you can control the number of hours of light. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

I do this almost every day and I never, ever learn my lesson. I'll be taking off my eye makeup and I'll try to put the cap back on the bottle while I still have the eye-makeup-remover-soaked cotton ball stuck in one eye with my other hand. It never fails, I misjudge the depth and knock the whole bottle off of the sink and onto the bathroom floor (when Sammy doesn't beat me to this). It's a good thing the bottle has this little hole that you have to dab instead of a regular opening, or I'd be buying that stuff 3 or 4 times a week! Hugs, CatNipped It is almost impossible to judge depth with one eye. Even trying to put a glass back on a table is a challenge. You miss the edge almost every time. A lot of my crockery and glassware has bitten the dust. With only one eye, to fill a bucket with water you have to put your finger in to see how high the water is when you think you are near the end.

Here are the requests I've seen. I know I've missed some, so please let me know what requests need to be added: Cats: ----- Skeeter (Tweed) - For CRF to be controlled Otis (Susan M)- to get to a safe, controlled environment quickly Humans: ------- Tweed and Victor's mom - surgeries Jobs and financial: ------------------- Seanette and hubby, Nancy and Dan, (I know there are more in this category but can't find them on this slow connection. Please remind me!) Dan I don't need any myself, but I've been thinking about Bluebird and her Little Bit lately. I'm pretty sure she'd be tickled pick to know we're thinking of her. And maybe add a weather category. I'm afraid with this very active hurricaine season the folks in the South and eastern part of the States will nee recurring purrs. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |
