Google is a 6 month-old calico--very small and very agile and
very cat-line, very unlike her orange tabby twin brother
Stinky, who is kinda puppy-like.
Well, Google got two birds in two days! I'm so proud

The owners have been really good lately, so I went out and bought an $8/pound
slab of fresh salmon.
Yesterday I got up 20 minutes early, wrapped the salmon in foil, and baked it.
It came out nice and juicy and good looking.

Just a few short stories:
Yesterday, I was lying down on the bed, doing a little reading.
Suddenly, I stretched out one arm, to get a kink out of my shoulder
muscle. I hit the bedside easy-chair with my hand.

Talk about the power of purr! My daughter who had the two job interviews
last week was offered both jobs.
She decided to accept the one at the university because it will offer her so
many opportunities for the future.

Tinta has a home now!
Evelyn, from this NG showed interest in her, but she couldn't take her
until the end of June.  So my classmate decided to foster her and try
to find her a permanent home

Just a while ago Jake came in and jumped up on the counter to beg for
treats.  He meowed at me and I heard him!  Its been years.
I meowed back like I used to do, and in just a little bit it dawned on him
that I can hear him again.  We had quite a conversation and even some head

As most of you know, I have been out on disability for a long time now -
close to 10 years.  This means I am no longer qualified to do my old job
because it has morphed into something completely different while I have
been out.  So I went to Vocational Rehabilitation and asked to ...

Hi, folks
Long time, no post, eh? ;-)
I got homesick today.  Actually, what I mean is *more* homesick than usual.
It's not that it's not nice at my aunt and uncle's, it is, and I am being

Silly people!  Every day is Hug Your Cat Day!!!

Yes, states Mr. Pumpkin,
Of course says Aggie Marble,

Dennis and I are leaving in the morning.  We're going on a road trip,
woo hoo!  We haven't really ever gone on a road trip in Thailand
before, so this should be fun!
In the morning we're off to the leather factory near Bangkok, where

Silly has never seen a live rodent in her life... but she has no doubt
that she is a Brave and Ferocious Huntress. Her favourite prey is the
Rogue PomPom. She tracks it down to whatever corner of the house it's
hiding in, picks it up in her mouth and then carries it into the room

I know this is completely OT, but I just looked out of my window and saw a
Goldcrest, http://www.rspb.org/birds/guide/g/goldcrest/index.asp I've only
seen one once before, and that was more than 35 years ago.

Please send me an email from your Schmoggleberry account.  I just lost
all my old email and all my edresses.  Arrggghhh.  I hate computers.  I
am now off to the office supply store to buy a CD R/W for the book I am
writing to be sure I don't ever lose it completely.  That would

My little Persian rescue, Roxie, does the cutest behavior.  She must
be a little ticklish.  When she does the behavior known as 'elevator
butt' as she's skritched on her back at the base of her tail, she adds
a little touch of her own.  She'll point her face at the ceiling and

Just got back from dropping off Persia and Peaches for boarding.  I could
hear lots of noise from the surgery and a lot of excited voices.  The
receptionist told me they had to do a C-section on a miniature dachschund
and she had given birth to NINE puppies; there was a 10th but it ...
