clean it religiously once a week.  Get down to the nitty gritty with an old
toothbrush and even pipe cleaners for the tiny crevices in the flow control
valve.  Remove the whatchamacallit from the motor ...

The results of Crackles biopsy has came back and he has cancer. He has
only one option which is a very expensive surgery on his ear and only if
it hasn't spread to his lungs. An xray would determine if its gone to
the lungs. The operation would have to be done by a specialist and I ...

When I got Tiger at age 4 months, he was named Tweedles.  I'm glad I

My brother Dick is continuing to improve.  I'll just copy part of the email
my niece  sent me this morning.  You cannot imagine how relieved I feel that

Just thought I would pass on something that happened last night. Candles and
cats together in a house probably aren't a good idea anyway, but I never had
any problem. I was always careful to put them in a heavy votive holder and not
to put them on the coffee tables where the cats ...

We are healthy, and growing, but still very much babies. We have perfect (well,

Oliver and I had a little disagreement last night.  I was practically
hanging off the side of the bed and he had his whole body stretched out
in to the middle of the bed.  I gently picked him up to scoot him over a
little and he rounded on me and bit my hand.  He didn't break the ...

Just a warning, I'm a doting kitten granny with a camera and I'm not afraid
