Sunday was not a day of rest

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Conducted a phone interview this morning for my next assignment. The article will concern a memorial quilt. The quilt was constructed to honor a 19 year old boy who was struck by lightning in a freak accident. I still need to speak with the boy’s mother which will be difficult because it hasn’t been […]

The 15th Day

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Today we have had Chloe with us for fifteen days. She has calmed down a little bit. She still has a habit of being the lap dog, though how she only circles our chairs seven times instead of ten. We are taking both dogs to the dog park every day. She has met several […]

Assault of the Urinator

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Let Buzzby out into major population. Major mistake! Oh, he got along fine with the rest of the cats. He hissed at the dogs and then beat it out into the enclosure where he took the highest post he could and perched there most of the day.
Since there was no fur flying, no blood […]

Chloe the Lap Dog

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

On the canine front- I am now calling Chloe our lap dog. Although she does try from time to time to crawl up on me by her two front legs, I am referring to her being a lap dog because typically, she will make about ten laps around our chairs before she simmers down […]

The Chill Factor

Monday, January 15th, 2007

It is so cold here now 18 degrees as I type, that even the barn cats have abdicated the hay barn and taken shelter in the house. Cleo amazed me last night- fourteen years living outside and last night, I opened the back door to go feed the horses, and this manx-cross darted inside! […]

Chloe’s latest joy

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

I had to really muck the stalls today. We have had such bitter cold weather, I haven’t had much of a chance to really work the stalls. So today the two dogs were loose in the backyard and I was mucking the two stalls. When I got to the point of laying down loose […]

New critter in the house

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

Meet Chloe. Chloe has been at a rescue home since she was 4 months old. She is now about 5 years old. I saw her on the Internet and fell in love with her kind face. We have her now on a 30 day trial period.
She is part German shepherd and […]

Distress Calls

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

Periodically, I get emails from friends who are struggling with issues concerning their cat(s). If it is a behavior issue, I do my best to help out if I can. On health questions, the same applies. If I cannot help them, I try and direct them to others knowledgeable enough to help out. […]

If I keep this one, I can’t help the next~

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Buzzby has been a real love around here. I do so much love orange and white kitties. They have wonderful personalities and are real characters. I already know that I need to keep Cole since he is a black kitty. Today, I put up ads all over town for Buzzby. I hope to find […]
