purr and meow too. :)

The final scab has fallen off Lilly-Whiskers tail where it was cut by
the bastard that tortured her, and it appears that the very end of the
tail bone is exposed. I have a feeling that when she sees the vet
tomorrow afternoon, he's going to recommend partial tail amputation.

This will certainly drive you mad.   One annoying feature - I can't find a
start again  button and have to reload the darn thing.

Ooops, I said Persia was being too clingy.  She must have read the ng, so
she spent the night curled up on the afghan on the couch.  I woke up - you
see what time it is in the US?  Not yet 4AM.  I spent the entire night in
bed alone!  I woke up and called to her a couple of times ...

To all our rpca friends -- I cannot tell you how much we all have
appreciated your kind comments, wishes, and purrs and purrayers on the loss
of our dear Omar boy:  Thank you all so very much from the bottom of our
hearts (both human and furry); with all your candles, lovely ...

Yule have to excuse me, I'm not sure what day it is
I don't wanna miss the party...I somebody stuck a bird in the oven
I am Thankful for friends.

Just to re-iterate, when I made the new map, I thought Jill's RPCA map was

Since there is no point having two RPCA maps, I've deleted the 'new' map.

This morning I was sitting in bed trying to wake up while I shaved with my
electric razor. Sophie climbed up beside me and started nosing around the
razor case. After a moment she marched to the edge of the bed and jumped
down - and I noticed something in her mouth. It was the ...

I didn't want to wait until a vet was available, the swelling was getting
too big. I started him on amoxycillin and got a sterile hypodermic
needle/syringe from Gloria (she has a case of them), shaved the hair off a
small spot on his shoulder, washed it with betadyne, stuck that ...

Mom called me yesterday and said my dad is "not doing well".
I've already acknowledged he is in early stages of altzheimers.  He's a
lymphoma survivor and has also had two surgeries for blockages in his legs,
one of which didn't "take" so they did a vein graft from one leg and

Pancho, a 7-month-old Chihuahua in Perry County, Tennessee, was
missing for 7 days, but finally found his way home.  After he
disappeared, his owners searched for him without success.  He found
his way home after a week, dragging himself along with his front legs.

I just posted 2 pics of Duffy and Holly to alt.binaries.pictures.animals.
They're definitely not great pictures, but they show my furry twosome at
play.

I hate to send blanket purrs, but I am having computer troubles.  I
post once, then my computer freezes.  Reboot, post, reboot . . . I'm
going to have to RTFM, of all things.
The kitties, however, do not have to spend their time cursing at

We have not had any kittens for ages,  so we were delighted to welcome 4
babies on the 13 th. It was the first litter for Mary-anne,  she is a
chocolate Oriental variant.  She was mated to a chocolate Oriental long hair
male,  she had a quick easy birth. We have a choc Oriental ...

What a sweet little kitten on the card!  From (Liz?) and Andy.  Sorry, it's
hard to read.  But Persia & I thank you!  The holidays are already getting
more bright!
I've got to get a decent pic of Persia so I can do my email cards.  Sorry I
