Four of the Magnificent Seven had developed nasty mats on their rear
quarters. Three of them (Fearless. Smokey and Cinder) are, I think,

I have just brought home a blue tick hound that someone dumped a week ago at
the rest area.  The kids that work there are, retarded for the most part.
By the time I got there, the dog was so hyper.  I got her to the TED and she
is not chipped.  He was too busy to mess with her ...

Riley managed to get out of the cat flap this evening. He followed
Pandora out as she battered her way through. I've caught up with him a
few times, but now he has buggered off into one of the other gardens,
it's pitch black outside, I have no idea where he is, it's 11pm at

Anyone in the Houston area know of a good, honest electrician or service?
Our hot water heater went out and we found out we can't replace it with
another gas heater since it wouldn't be up to code (they don't make short
enough gas heaters to fit in our attic and still have enough ...

Smudgie's annual vaccinations were due on Saturday so I made an appointment
at the surgery, with some trepidation!
Saturday morning, we had the usual mieowing sing-a-long in the car the whole
journey!  I certainly wasn't looking forward to this appointment!  Got to

Joyce, I haven't heard if you're doing the holiday card list this year, but
if you are, could you (or whomever's doing it) please take my name and
address off?  I'm sorry to say I won't be participating this year.  It
really breaks my heart to discontinue a special event that I ...

My number ONE reason for not posting in here anymore was b/c of Kyla.  She's
a sh*t stirrer, and it was making me sick.  And she does the SAME thing in
the Pink Floyd group.  It's "woe is me" all of the time and then she cries
that she doesn't understand.  95% of the peeps in the ...

The change of watch would be soon, but the creaking of ropes in the rigging
and the sighing of the wind in the sails punctuated the silence in the
pre-dawn light aboard the Mouser.  Below deck Persia was washing prior to
starting breakfast.  Cap'n Pine Cone had just used the ...

WESTPORT, Conn. - Paul Newman, the Oscar-winning superstar who personified
cool as the anti-hero of such films as "Hud," "Cool Hand Luke" and "The
Color of Money" - followed by a second act as an activist, race car driver
and popcorn impresario - has died. He was 83.

I just found out.  Not off-topic because she was a cat lover with three
cats.
She went through a heart attack a couple of months ago, but then died of
congestive heart failure suddenly, after a good day of a good meal

Nope, not what you're thinking!  Mom asked me yesterday to put an old sheet
on the couch in the living room.  Um, why?  "Because of your cat."  It seems
she thinks dark cat fur will "stain" her white couch like a bad dye job.
My sofa-bed at home is sort of an oatmeal shade.  It ...

Stinky is back home from the vet.  His own vet is on maternity leave, so we
saw the boss vet of the practice.
He said that Stinky is a very old cat, and that subQ is not a miracle cure.
He also said that  I was doing all I could and shouldn't beat myself up.  He
