Thanks to Miz, Rip, Godhelpus and Verystressed for your kind words over the loss of my Rusty. I took him to the vet Saturday morning and held him as the vet gave the injection. It was quick and painless. I held him for the longest time afterward just bawling my eyes out.
I lost my 21 year old cat Tyson on April 30th, so two of my babies in such a short time. Rosellla, like you I have loved and lost many kitties over the years. I am such a sucker for stray animals. At one time I got overwhelmed and had 13 cats!
My sister is in town visiting from Seattle. I hadn't been on the computer since Friday so it has taken some time to catch up with everyones post. Sounds like our human loved ones are doing better than our pets.
Bobbie, can we have pets on the boat? We need at least 1 cat for each bunk. Don't work too hard on the Barbara B. It is supposed to be enjoyment!
Have a good night everyone and I will check-in tomorrow.
CLEO is home and healing thank you all for well wishes. Still do not know how it happened but her one foot had all the nails pulled out. but she is doing OK.
Hello caregivers & critter lovers. Guess we need to pray for the furry friends too. Took me an hour to catch up. WOW. Had a garage sale this last weekend & my brother made a suprise visit from Florida for the first time in ten years. He gave me two hours warnign...he was supposed to let me know in advance! We NEVER have company so in the middle of the sale I had to excuse myself & house clean. When he got here the first thing I said was:"Thanks for giving me enough time to clean the toilet jackass!". We all laughed!!! What a lovely, delightful lady he has fallen in love with!!!! She is wonderful! Mom was on her best behavior for their visit and it was a great weekend. Lately I was wondering if I'd ever have another. Bro's new girlfriend said she missed the chipmonks as they have none in Fla. It just so happened that I had gotten 10lbs. of food for our backyard menagerie that morning, so I filled ALL the feeders and we had a feeding frenzy for her enjoyment. Our little friends were just about to riot as I had run out of food two days earlier. We had 8 or more squirrels of all colors, a flock of sparrows, cardinals, jays, cowbirds, nuthatches, chickadees & others all in the yard. Our little wild kingdom was quite amuseing for a few hours. Of course our large cat was the center of attention as he should be...or so he thinks. He came with a "rap sheet" from the shelter & doesn't play well with others, so he is our only inside pet now. He tucks us in every night and just as we are ready to fall asleep he walks over my husband's face dragging his "dew lap" belly. My hubby curses, I laugh & we nod off. It's a good life today. GOD bless & keep you all.
Poor Cleo! SHe will be better inside, & probably willing after this.
There are "missing kitty" posters around this neighborhood. Heartbreaking ... Coyotes & raccons. I installed a cyclone fence which helps, but they still hop over. (the coyotes can't) I am so happy to have mine settle down on our beds every night.
CLEO is 8 and now at the vet. Sedated. I have no idea what happened but all the claws on her back left paw have been pulled out as well as one on her right back paw. The vet said a fight or she got caught on or in something!? We get her back about 3 PM Pacific Time. BAH what happened! No more outside time unless we are right there!
Cats know, but figure THEY are the priority and if you must read a book or type on that clack clack thing they at least should be acknowledged as more prominent in your thoughts.
Ha Ha!!!! My cats are always on the keyboard ! Or smothering me in bed, You have travelled more than me. As I said ... the west coast awaits Rossella with her special Tattoo of Alberto, who travels beond, yet along with you. Hopefully, when you arrive in the Pacific Northwest, Dad will be around to greet you! As with the animals, birds & human friends. Right now I must feed Dad!
State of NY, Vermont, Rhode island, Boston, Washington DC, Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh), that's as far as I went. Last trip in '92. When Nancy got married she lived in New Jersey and then in Pittsburgh; I have not gone to the States since she has moved to CA. I have always seen her in Europe since then. I have many photos but of course they are not in digital form; I shall have to scan some of them. My cat Gwendolyn (Guendalina) keeps scratching my face, she hurts as hell. She is one of my cats who lived in the street before I adopted her, and she can't overcome that trauma, yet. She has a violent way to show her affection. Cats know they MUST NOT pass on the keyboard, so they do it all the time.
Pancakes .... Waffles rule! So you have been over here, Rossella ... to the East Coast ... when young? Hmmmmm ... Now that we are "seasoned" ... Wait until Nancy & I share you with the West Coast! Her home area in Carmel is awesome! I believe we have several "GrossedOut" West Coasters here.
Not certain who they are? Help! Who live in the Pacific Daylight Time zone? Bobbie will need the info next year as she cruises up our coast. Stressed Out ... join in. Please???
I don't have a boat, but a couple of guest rooms which I can offer. WE girls can dream .....
Pancakes were the first thing I ate in my first trip to the States (1981). I had landed the night before. At 7 a.m. i woke up, as awake as a cricket (effects of the jet lag) and I said Nancy that I wanted breakfast. She wanted to kill me because she wanted to sleep more. But she took me to a café and I ate a pile of pancakes! How can you forget these things? NYC was just waking up, we were in Greenwich Village! So young!
Get used to the new image friends! Rossella & Alberto!
Cheers to each on both sides!
Sh*t ... Ratzo just tripped a beer onto the new keyboard. I had opened it for Dad but ... just had to post. My new habit! HaHaHaHa ... I should have had the beer!

She said it is helping her family with dealing.
Might be something to look at.
Give her a gentle hug from me!
It's nice to have a good weekend sometimes. Maybe we should deserve some more of them!
