It's been a while since I posted this link - I first stumbled across it in
2004.  Those who've joined since then might want to take a look.
Warning (especially for those who have had recent losses) - it *will* make
you cry, but it will be good tears.

I need for someone in another country (not USA) to aid and abet me in
getting some Heath and Heather Tea, night time variety into the USA. It
seems that they have changed their packaging and it no longer meets USA
labeling criteria and they aren't very likely to go redesign it ...

I'm pinging Julie because I *think* Sam has a collapsed lobe? Do you know
which one? Your vet is much more experienced than mine (Pearl is their first
inhaled meds kitty). Here is what has been going on with us:
We had xrays for the first time in a couple of years yesterday along ...

A friend sent me this poem  today and I thought others would

"If anyone here drives a gray Toyota, license plate # <blah blah>,
someone has reported that there is a cat stuck in your car engine.

Well, tomorrow the movers are coming, so I may be
computerless for a couple of days, until I get it hooked up
again.  Melisande and Cendrillon are being boarded at their
new vets.  (Actually, the "Pet Lodge" affiliate of their new

still hurts - more on that later) was working.
But last night for no particular reason i just broke down again. For a cat

Can purrs steer the California wildfires? I dunno, but I'd like to
request at least some good thoughts be sent the way of some of my

For those of you still awake and looking for a good ghost story: AMC
is showing John Carpenter's "The Fog"  Somewhat of a B rated film it
