These babies are definitely not photogenic. ;-) They look like little
aliens no matter what I do with a camera.
They are 16 days old now!  I'm pretty encouraged about their chances
of survival, much more so than I was a few days ago. Thanks to

Last month I got "Star Wars: Republic Commando" for the PC, the game
which inspired Karen Traviss' excellent series of novels (highly
recommended for anyone who likes military sci-fi, no matter if you
consider yourself a "Star Wars" fan or not.)  Anyway, in the game you

We just don't get them, normally.
However, there was a strange thing on the doormat when I got home from work.
It looked like a poo, with a tail on it.  Panic..foxes have poo with tails
on, is there is a fox coming right up to my house to get my chickens? Prolly

Tak, for the screen door you're using to keep Buster in the room - did you
buy it or construct it?  If you bought it could you mind telling me where
and about how much (as you know we'll be in need of one soon).
Thanks!

Hi all, I was trying to find the name/company that makes the lifelike
cat toy somebody gave Pam while she was in hospital. Online

I had a sudden urge to visit the local shelter today!  This is the
same shelter where I adopted Betty.  I took a lot of pictures and some

movie, so here are just a few:

Just thought I'd catch you up on our newest addition.
Paulette has been living outside, guarded by Uncle Romeo (at his
previous place he had a wife and several litters and seems to be one
of those guys who goes all gushy over the little ones.)

I posted a couple months ago about my father-in-law having a minor stroke.
Nancy and I have been visiting as often as we can. Up until our last visit
(this last weekend), Clancy has been making excellent progress. However,
last week he developed pneumonia and it has really been ...

We're having some renovations done, including a new door between the garage
and house. The contactors seem to have trouble with the concept of closing
the door, so we've been locking the girls up when they're around. But today
Smokey got into the OUT. We're not sure Smokey has ...

I tried to upload a new version of my modes tutorial yesterday.
Don't bother looking for it.
Don't bother looking for the old one either.  All there is on the
site is a truncated bit of it.

Thursday, I was in the kitchen. I was not watching where everyone else
had their feet, much less where my own feet were. I did a quick turn
around, put my foot down, and heard the most horrific sound of a hurt
cat.

That I wouldn't ever have a cat in my bedroom overnight.  It's one of my
*rules.*
But when I went up to bed last night. Kitty was on my bed, fast asleep in
dreamland.  I didn't have the heart to disturb "her elderliness" so I crept

Yesterday I had a gallon jug of water, with the cap on it, sitting on the
living room floor waiting to be taken outto the porch to water the Norfolk
Island Pine now living out there and recovering remarkably well) and I
stepped out of the room for a few minutes... and returned ...

How's Buster doing?
