There’s a stray outside

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Although the weather is still a bit cold, soon spring will officially be here and the stray cats will come out of their winter nests and start searching for food in earnest…
Stray and feral cats are described by many labels: doorstep cats, porch kitties, bush dwellers, stray cats, feral cats, fractious cats. Feral cats are […]

Spring

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

It is the start of Spring Break and this morning while walking to the barn, the ground crunched underneath my feet. The surrounding mountains show a light dusting of new snow in the background. Canadian Geese honk overhead as they search in vain for the wetlands that once existed down the road apiece, now replaced […]

Reprisals

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Now that I have returned to work, the Miller kitties have planned reprisals. After all, how dare their human who has taken care of them 24/7 for what has been their life here, desert them and leave the house even for a few hours without returning with goodies for them.
This morning (which is my day […]

Kodie Update

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Kodie has gone through yet another surgery. She now has a line of stitches on the side of her neck and the center of her throat. They have removed the manibular gland, the salivary gland and the pirroted gland. She looks like a Frankenstein dog right now. Poor girl.
I am sending photos of her to […]

When a plan comes together

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Just learned that a feral cat who was adopted out to a loving home last year is now appearing on Stuff On My Cat. Not a website I am a fan of I am afraid, because some people get a bit carried away piling “stuff” on a cat- but here is Buzzby. He stayed […]

Room Service

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Motel 6® developed a quaint little slogan for their motel chain some years back; “We’ll leave the light on! For the stray cat soon to be occupying a corner of your home, the same amenity should be offered to him. Leave the light on.
Make this light inviting for the cat, so Stray Willy […]

Welcome to My World

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

The wind picked up scattering the dirt at my feet. I peered up at the sky noticing angry black clouds beginning to gather overhead. Soon the rain would begin in earnest. Brushing the remainder of loose hair from my horse Racer, I glanced out by the creek. The ferns near the bank were rustling vigorously. […]

Cinderella never had it so good!

Monday, March 10th, 2008

I am spring cleaning early. Trying to get rid of clutter, polishing floors long crying out for a renewed look. Scrubbing on my hands and knees when I can. What can I say, I am getting old and my knees aren’t keeping up with the times!
I was in the kitchen on my knees scrubbing away, […]

The Lure of “Work at Home” ads

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

An ad crossed my desk the other day. Forwarded by a friend, the ad claims that I can make over $600.00 a week being a third party tracer for HUD/FHA…..
Hmmm…..
So, I decided instead of jumping at the opportunity, to do a bit of research first and this is what I found.
third party tracers not only […]

Changes

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Life around here is in flux. Mike is procrastinating about what type of treatment he is going to go through, and he has decided to wait for three months before going ahead with any treatment. I am not sure how I feel about this. The specialist said that waiting three months is a safe waiting […]
