I have the cat mystery book, and will be happy to mail it to anyone who
wants it - but you need to let me know soon.  I'm getting ready to go on a
trip, and won't have many chances to get to the post office before I go.
Email me with your snail mail address if  you're interested.  ...

Well, I went.  And I met Sadie.  She is just as pretty in person as I
thought her picture. Though bigger (I don't think she is a size small
anymore, more a medium). Beautiful eye color. And yes, feisty.  Which
reminds me I need to dress my worse wound soon :(  Turns out she had a

I'm following in MaryL's footsteps, and making sure you all know that
everyone is fine, but I did commit a tiny blunder this evening.
I came home, and Smudge was, as usual, hanging out by the front steps.
I got out, petted her, and then got some stuff from my trunk. As I

The day after my rather boring birthday (well, I guess they always are
more exciting when you're a youngster; how excited can a 52-year-old
get?  It's not like I get lotsa really cool toys or anything -- lol) --
but I digress.  Ahem.  Anyway, the day after was supposed to the The ...

The local pet store in the village where I buy the cats Royal Canin
has always had black shop cats. Their current resident is an elderly

the horse feed sacks dreaming of catching mice. :)

I thought this was so sad, hearing about their last goodnight :(
WALTHAM, Massachusetts (AP) -- Alex, a parrot that could count to six,
identify colors and even express frustration with repetitive scientific
trials, has died after 30 years of helping researchers better understand ...

Sorry, folks, I have been seriously distracted by some things going on in my
life.  I've only had a chance to skim and reply to a few posts in the last

Well, I was *trying* to read the group and post things, but something

I tried to keep this video short (15mb) for those with slower connections,

Since Sue is talking about her shelter experiences in hopes of adopting a

bite".
When Persia is snuggled up next to me on the couch, as she is wont to do,

I am sending group mail family and friends to let everyone know that my
mother passed away last night, and I am including this NG plus h+b among my
friends. I had been with her until about half an hour before she died. She
was very weak and could barely speak, but I called my ...
