Well, the inevitable has happened.  We managed to hold out for a whole
week, but DH admitted this morning that he really, really likes Potjie
/ Jet and that if he doesn't work out at Dad's place then DH will be
very happy for him to come back here to live.

As you all know, our Border Collie puppy Kayla has been here for almost two
months now.
Jake and Molly have pretty much made their peace with her.  Molly will even
come and get Kayla to come outside and chase her.  I thought Kayla was

My 6 mos old little boy cat, Jacob, is not speaking to me tonight. He
won't come to me, and is reluctant to purr for me. On the other hand,
he has stuck to my hubby like glue! I think he is mad at me for taking
him to the vets today for his big snip....

Well, it's been nearly a week, now.  We still have an uneasy
truce, with an occasional "shouting match", but neither one
seems seriously intent upon damaging the other, so I'm sure
they'll work it out in time.

When I was young, my family had a cat. His name was 'Snoopy' and he was an
outdoor cat. Even when my sister & had grown up and moved out, indeed, got
cats of our own, Snoopy was still at my parents place, and you could see his
outine through the 'privacy' glass doors, waiting ...

Sasha is doing well and he blood work on Thursday showed her BUN to be
down to 53. Dr and I both were very happy to see that. He reduced her
fluids to 100ml every other day and after this bag is finished I am
bringing her in for another test to see how she did with the lower

Last night we had dinner at a nice mediterranean/spanish restaurant we
like. It was wonderful, and thanks to the fact that we got there early,
we enjoyed the half price tapas during happy hour. :)
Anyhow, they have this wonderful dessert cocktail, made with espresso,

Waffles is *definitely* improving.
Today is a sunny, bright but cold day. Nevertheless, Queen Of All She
Surveys has been demanding to be Inna Owt.
This morning she went out into the garden, sat in the middle of the lawn and

We went to a new (to us) pub this evening, and there was a beautiful
little tabby pub cat called Tigger doing the rounds.  She came and said
hello to DH then perched herself on my lap for a cuddle, which she
seemed to enjoy, then she rolled on to her back so I tickled her tummy,

Thirteen months after we got married, and almost six YEARS after we
were engaged, I got my greencard! Now I can come and go as I please
and they'll have to let me back into the country! Of course the first
words out of my mother's mouth when I told her were 'when are you

Caliban is a fairly typical teenage cat, who is far more interested in
thinking up mischief and annoying the hoomin than he is of cuddles and
huggles. Every now and then, though, I'm subjected to what I've started
calling the baby-love attack.

I found a mole (?) running around in the house, and my 3 cats saw it but were not
interested in pursuing it and attacking it like they did in the
past with mice, bunnies, chipmunks. I had to pick it up and throw
it out myself. I wonder if the cats were afraid of it. Isnt it unusual

Since we moved my computer desk into the craft room and put the
printer onto it, there isn't any room for Scouty to sit in front of me
while I type  - she used to love to lie behind the keyboard and
supervise me... she's realised that the scanner can still be

My lady doesn't want my cat, Bert, to visit - 'he'll destroy my...' So
I leave him.
For how many days/nights is that fair/ok?
Studio apt. Plenty food//water.
