Turtle and I are coming up on the two year anniversary of her first mommy's death. We've both gotten to know each other through our sadness and grief. She is a charming little soul who has as many quirks as I do so we are the perfect couple. She loves to play fetch and hide and go seek with...

Love can come in the smallest packages

I have to share this story. After Cheryl died i wanted to let everyone at the forum she belonged to to know about it.However, I COULDN'T for the life of me remember which one it was. I googled 'cat forums" and found one that seemed familiar. IT WASN'T THE RIGHT FORUM. Like a fool i spilled my...

my favorite part of Turtle's body is the part that she's always putting in my face. Her BUTT. It's not kissable, but has it's own personality. It's bigger than the rest of her and when she walks away she reminds me of a porch swing. And when I laugh at her she stops and gives me that...

Turtle's NEW thing is that whenever i enter a room that she's already in she starts bobbing her head like a parakeet when she sees me. I now understand that she's soliciting a head rub when she does this. I think it's so amazing that I can almost claim to know what she's thinking sometimes. I'm...

I could NOT go to sleep last night so I decided to get up and fix a dish of vanilla ice cream and curled up on the couch. Turtle all ready had her 20 hours of sleep so she was right at my side. No she won't eat directly out of the dish cuz it just isn't lady like. We had to share a spoon. Now...

I have a big rocker/recliner in my living room that is so cozy. I don't know why I don't sit in it more often. After what happen today I'm sure I will! I was waiting for a delivery earlier today and decided to sit in the chair since it's over by the window. I don't know what room Turtle was in...

I've been in a sad funk this last week. I can't concentrate on anything and I just want to sleep all the time. I miss Cheryl so so much. It seems to just now be hitting me that she's gone...forever. She was a big part of my life.  Cheryl and my mom were best friends from the moment they first...

I had such great plans for this 4th of July. I was headed to my friend's lake house for five days of sun, swimming, good food and drink, ending with awesome fireworks! Oh how things change. I've decided to just stay home with Turtle. I prefer to stay home with Turtle.   She has taken the...

I wanted to take Turtle to the vet for just a basic exam last week. Since the temperature never dipped below 103 degrees I changed my mind. I called the vet to cancel and she offered to stop by after work, on her way home. How nice was that??!! So she stopped by yesterday and to my surprise...

oh thank you so much for your suggestions, especially explaining to me HOW to get her into the carrier! Common sense eludes me when it comes to these simple things with her. I wish this feliway stuff worked on me! I'm going to call the vet and see if she has a file on her. 

I thought I would try to take Turtle to the Vet on Wednesday. I have no idea when she was there last or if Cheryl ever took her. I'm sticking with the same vet that Cheryl took all of her cats to for over 20 years. There is nothing wrong with Turtle. I thought may be just a check up would be...
