Well, after a long absence, I'm back! Tiger and Jorin now live with my ex, as they didn't get along with my parents' dogs. They're still the pampered, spoiled, healthy kids, active and competing for lap time every day! Boo lives back with my parents, she really prefers the dogs to having two...
Well, it's been a busy 3 months for me. I never realized how hard it is to go back to school! I've completed 2 terms so far (each term or rotation is 6 weeks) and have a 4.0 GPA. Last term was English and Wine Studies 1. I was teaching the english class 1 day a week, and the wine class was...
HELP! I can't figure out who's doing this ( I think it might be Jorin) but he keeps shredding our toilet paper! THey have a nice big cat tree in the living room, several sisal boards all over the house, and they still have to shred our toilet paper! It doesnt matter which way it is on the roll...
Well, all 3 cats are now infected. Who knows how they got that way, they don't have fleas (they were wormed once before we got them *supposedly*). I suppose they must have eaten a bug or something with a flea on it (do bugs get fleas?) I didn't see any signs of them before. Tiger has little...
Well, it's an SUV actually. I've wanted one for about 5 years, today I finally got the one I want! It's a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport, 4 door and 4 wheel drive. Perfect interior, perfect exterior. Only had 38,650 miles on it. (I put another 50 on today) I love it!
I can't believe it, but I'm finally enrolled in culinary school! I'm in their hospitality and restaraunt management program. I have no kitchen experience, so this is a career change for me as well as education. I'm so excited! We had our first week of classes last week, but it wasn't until...
Thought I'd start one, just this once
Ugh, I'm up WAY too early. Salmon season closes today, so Mike's out fishing, which means he gets up at 3AM. I couldn't sleep last night, and was wide awake after he left. Figured I'd get up, get some coffee, and work on making a shopping list...
Joann just called me to foster a mom cat and her kittens. We'll probably be getting them Sunday or Monday. Well, a friend of mine just called frantically, one of the ferals she hasn't been able to trap just deposited 3 kittens on their doorstep. My friend moved them to the shed, and now Momma...
Well, after 2 long weeks and our poor cats thinking we've abandoned them for spending so much time away (had to drive 45 min away to work on it) we finally finished our cat tree! it's completely home-built and designed (mostly designed on the fly). My dad brought it over this morning.
Well after 3 months of different medications and treatments, it looks like Lady and Missy will be put to sleep. They have a virus in their eyes, which make them run with an orange-reddish fluid almost constantly. I will try to talk my dad into letting them roam in the backyard at their house...
As most of you know, we have 3 cats, 2 are 10 months, 1 is 3 years. Well my problem is this... The two 10 month old kittens are overweight. One weighs 10 lbs and the other 15+. Can I switch them to a "diet" food now or do I have to wait another 2 months? They get 1/4 cup each of dry in the...
Jorin just looked up at me and meowed, and it sounded EXACTLY like he said "mama!" I couldn't believe it! He can't meow very well, has just recently started meowing, I think Boo's been a bad influence on him. It was just soooo cute, I had to share it as soon as it happened!
I thought this was cute
Many springtimes ago, according to an old Polish legend, tiny kittens had been chasing butterflies at the river's edge and fell in. The mother cat, helpless to save them, started crying. The willows at the river's edge swept their long graceful branches into the water -...
I just went to do laundry, and discovered our clothes COVERED in cat pee. I don't know who's doing this. I also discovered Jorin's cat bed covered in it. It's soaked into my desk, and I don't know if I'll ever get the smell out. I'm so angry right now I could spit nails. I'm about to call the...
We recently took in 2 foster kitties. They're doing fine, aside from an eye infection that I am unsucessfully treating (can't always catch them to give them eye cream) But we have a problem. The first night, I found that they'd poo'd in the living room, in a corner, and in the computer room...
Well, we had to go get cat food today, so went to petsmart, taking our two furbabies. The gal from Animal Aid, a volunteer organization, was there, and we talked to her about one of the orange females we saw before. To make a long story short, we ended up bringing home 2 torties to foster! One...
