After lots of badgering from family and friends, I'm going to enter a short
story writing competition.
Since I don't currenly have the wherewithall to write a new one (probably
won't until Cary goes to school), I figured I'd just use an old one.

Check out this Peregrine Cam. It'll soon be dark in CA, but bookmark it and
watch some baby falcons grow up...

stuffed animals and wearing whiskers faced-off against hundreds of hunters

Like many RPCA-ers, I'm currently in the job market. :o( Because of
certain circumstances, I've had to quit my PhD. :o( Dark Tiger (my TV
production company) is still working on getting its first contract, so I
have to play in the real world for a while...

I have a followup job interview this morning. Please send prayers, purs,
good thoughts, etc that I get this position. I've been out of work since
February when my temp job ended, and I've been trying like crazy to land a
permanent job. I NEED to be working.

A friend of mine sent me a brush called ZOOM GROOM by the people who
make KONG dog toys.  She swears by the thing and got me one.
Well, now I swear by it too.
The brush is rubbery, with big fat bristles.  It collects hair by

Dogs of War - Army town struggles to save pets left by troops
Hinesville, Georgia -- The 32 dogs look up with sad eyes or wag their tails
as animal control officer Linda Cordry walks the row of chain-link cages
ending in a door concealing a gas chamber that resembles a large oven.

Captain and Stanley both LOVE interactive wand-style kitty toys. Captain,
in particular, goes nuts for the ones that look like a miniature
feather-duster attached to a long wand. He completely de-feathered the
first one I gave them by constantly playing, stalking, and fighting with

off-topic, or anger-stricken or hurtful, and it appears that on another

Just now, I was sitting here reading rpca, and Mere got up on my
shoulder, as she often does. I was just thinking I should go take a
shower and wash my hair, when Mere started grooming my hair. Awww!
I feel I need to build up Frank's confidence with Mere. Frank and Mere

Well it isn't that bad.  Leonidas (the dumped cat) has never cried.
EVER.  He rarely even talks, except to occasionally remind me that he'd
like to be let to do his business, and then it's usually part of a yawn
(like he doesn't really care).

Mickey is one my my nearest neighbor's cats - he's about 13 years old,
and the neighborhood champion mouser ... or he used to be.  I have
eleven, most of whom don't particularly like Mickey; two of whom get
in fights with him from time to time.

Mere nearly gave me a heart attack today. Suddenly, she was acting
strange. She hid under chairs and the bed and peeked out fearfully. I
thought she must be ill. She was so strange. In the hallway, she was
alright and even played a little with her rope toy. But when I carried

As you know, Leonidas has been snipped.  I have decided that he will be
an indoor cat (depending on which of us is the most strong willed).  I
need advice here, how long am I going to hear the crying to get out,
the jumping up the wall trying to get to windows?  He has managed to
