We euthanized Sammy on Monday night this week and had no advance warning that anything was wrong, not even a hint of a problem. Our son, DIL and grandkids were here, we had picked them up earlier at the airport. My dear DIL is a vet tech who works at an emergency vet hospital, thank goodness...

Introducing our new kitten Jingles. We had all these great names for a black cat and in the end our grandaughter said "I think we should name her Jingles". Why not? So Jingles it is, which works for a he or a she since we aren't sure of the sex yet. I had heard what I thought was a catbird...

I've started knitting over the past year, it's great relaxation for me and I love it. The cats haven't decided if it's okay with them or not. Sam has has to sit on my lap near the yarn and he curls up into a nice contented ball and purrs non-stop. He's quite indignant when I have to get up...

Our sweet little Pru is doing fine. It's been 2 1/2 years now since we trapped her and brought her in. Last night as I was getting ready to go upstairs, I saw her in the kitchen window looking out the screen. She let me come up to her and pet her. I sat down in a chair next to the window and...

We had an estimate for replacement windows the other day. Pru was in her hiding place under the sofa. Clio stayed in one spot and watched all the actions. Sam followed the man to each room, getting right beside him as he did his measurements. The guy finally said "Gee, he's friendly, isn't...

We keep a hedgehog boot brush by the back door. He's cast iron with bristles all over to rub shoes/boots on. I was in the kitchen and saw Clio rubbing up one side and down the other on the hedgehog, thoroughly enjoying herself. Sam came running in and basically shoved her over so he could do...

I was very lucky indeed last year to be Anakat's SS recipient. Among the many, lovely handmade gifts were two knitted Santa Elves for the cats. Yesteday I got up and went downstairs to find one of them was standing on his head in front of the TV. I think it's a message from Pru, I'm just not...

Our sweet Pru has been with us for two years this Thanksgiving Eve. I almost forgot in all the holiday swirl! It's been a great two years. She loves Clio and Sam and she loves us. She comes to visit at night to get belly rubs and scritches. We got a rescue dog, Fergus, in March and her...

Google Earth This is a great download. I have been "flying" all over the world with this. Type in a location and you fly there. You can come down as close as you want and there are pictures to click on or links to Wikipedia to tell you about what you are looking at. I've been in Tibet...

49 Up It follows a group of English children every seven years since 1964. This was really interesting to me. The people are interviewed now and they intersperse old interviews from different ages. The changes in some people were remarkable. One woman was a really sullen teenager, down on...

We have had 5 weeks of sunshine and very little rain and it was 85 degrees two days ago. Yesterday I got up and it was 68 degrees, by noon it was 63 and rainy. Summer had a nice long run this year. So it's chilly and the cats are in for snuggling, it's hard to turn in bed without bouncing one...

Our county got it's first dog park and it opened up this past weekend. We took Fergus (our Springer) and it was great to see him running and playing and sniffing. They were around 25 large dogs in our area, dogs 30 pounds and under had a separated area. All were really well behaved dogs. It...

I was running around, getting ready for work on Friday. I made a quick trip through the living room and started picking up the cat toys off the floor. There was a real-fur mouse on the floor and as I got ready to pick it up, I noticed the tail was NOT one of the flat leather ones, it was round...

This year we left Fergus and three cats at the kennel we use. Last year a friend came in to take care of the cats daily, because of Pru. She offered again, but I hate imposing on her for every time we want to go away. Sam and Clio have been boarded there before, but not Pru, so I was worried...

We've rescued Pru a year and a half ago. She is a 5 to 6 year old feral tabby that we had spayed. We did a slow introduction, about three months, to the other two cats, Sam/Cliohna. They interact well with each other, grooming and playing with each other. Pru comes to visit us at bedtime only...

Fergus got a new bone to replace his Nylabone and he is....in love. He carries this around with just the end sticking out, with the rest in his mouth. He keeps it with him in his kennel and wants to take it outside with him. He hasn't actually chewed it yet, I guess he's just enjoying it for now.

Poor sweet Pru! We adopted a rescue Springer Spaniel 6 weeks ago. We have not seen Pru since. No more coming up to see us in the bedroom at night and cuddle with us. The dog, Fergus, is a sweet guy, but very energetic. He loves chasing the cats, which we are breaking him of. Sam and Clio...

Here's a pic of our granddog, Em, having fun on the dog beach in Venice, FL. Our son and DIL just bought his first home there and my DH went down to visit this week. My DH took this pic as Em was running from a "friend". I would love to take my dog to a dog beach, this looks like so much fun...

I thought maybe I didn't have enough points. I thought I was mentally deficient. I do not see where to get a custom user name. Is it under vbPlaza menu? It's not in there under my choices. I've tried reading the custom user threads, but they do get a little long winded .. I tried searching. I...
