I do have to say that my hair was very shiny and I had the urge to lick myself and sit on the couch farting and snoring.

TMI? :p

So, you were a guy?

I agree ^_~

I was referring mostly to the snoring and farting part of your comment, though.

You know you're a dog person when you buy one sled for the dog , and three for the grandchildren.

My friends mother bought a stroller for her dog but when her grandchild was born she gave her son a stroller she found being tossed with the trash. Only one of the three wheels that remained was usable. The material was ripped and there was an odd stain but hey, it was free.

The dog stroller cost $350.00. It's made especially for dogs.

Not me, my sister has two dogs and the carpet was worn out from being chewed, peed on and pooped on and she had shampood it so much it looked awful. The doggies love it (the hardwood) They still have their little dog rugs to lay on and their dog beds. The floor is scratched, but they love sliding around on it. She also lets them in the shower with her. They love it. She has two corgis.

That explains it. Corgis are laidback dogs who seem to love pretty much everything.

They are so sweet and she named them Simone and Garfunkle. Her husband or her would fight someone over those dogs. We all would fight to protect our little kitties and doggies!

Simone and Garfunkle. I love it.

Starby's sister (Starby was a member here, a good friend, she died in 2009) has a dog who she named... get ready for it... it's good... Gaylord Faulker. :)

Okay kids, I've got to go, I'm exhausted, it's been a long day and I have another one tomorrow.

Be good, I'm always watching. Really... I am. :)

Night all.

Exactly. Little miss edith and I may have only been together for a week now, but I will scratch out the eyes of anyone who tries to hurt her. The same goes for her kittens, once she finally has them. I will do my best to make sure they go to GOOD homes, not homes where they'll be left outside to fend for themselves or not given all the cuddles they deserve.

Good for you! When our ten year old Seal Point Siamese passed away we waited a month or so and adopted two kitties from the animal shelter. JJ and Sassy. That's them in the picture. They rule the house. Greetings to Miss. Edith!:):)

I am so thankful for my wooden floors!!

We have that fake wood stuff, well it's not fake but the good wood is cut very thin and then glued onto a cheaper wood and laid on the floor.

Makes potty training less of a nightmare.

The doggies love it. And it cuts down on dust and odors. Our kitties are puuurrrrfect. Never have had an accident.

I'm just worried I won't be able to find them good homes. I can't afford to have more than 2 kitties. I'll have to find the others homes.

I refuse to give animals to the shelter. The only shelter in the county is a kill shelter. They spent a month or two last year putting down all the cats they had to make room for more.

I'm not going to let that happen to my babies.

Now, if edith would just HAVE the babies already. It's hard looking for homes for kittens that haven't been born yet.

Put an ad in the paper and if you don't like something about the peron or persons who respond then wait. I think we animal lovers have a sixth sense about others who don't like animals.

We saved our two kitties from being put to sleep. I wanted to bring all of themm home with me. Now I always tell my friends when they are thinking of buying a cat or a dog to go to the animal shelter instead of a breeder. Our kitties had already been taken care of shot, spayed and nuetered and have microchips.

One-Hundred and Fifty dollars each but all the money goes back into the care of the other animals. You have seen how inhumane some animals are treated by the owners, the people there love them as if they were their own animals. Hope you find good owners for the kitties. Salutations to Ms. Edith...

I would rescue an animal from the shelter, if I could afford the adoption fee. Maybe someday. Hopefully it'll be many years before I need to get another kitty.

Edith was a stray that hung around work. My boss fed her leftovers from lunch. When the weather started getting bad, she got put in a back room at night, and all day later on. I told her that if I got a place that allowed pets, I'd give her a home. When I found one and told her about it, she told me her name is edith. Found out she was pregnant a week or two later.

We are all of us just softies. Animals and children and older people are the ones I keep close in my heart. My niece found
A stray cat outside her apartment, took it in fed it named it Socrates.
She took it to the vet to get every thing done and found that
Socrates was female. She's had her now for nearly eight years and we call her Ms. Socrates.

My sister had a cat that kept having kittens. I adopted two of them. Thought they were both boys. Named them tobias and gallagher. Vet thought they were both boys.

Then gallagher got pregnant. She had 4 of the sweetest kittens, all boys (for the most part). Two brown tabbies had 2 black kittens, a silver tabby, and a Maine coon. The main coon and one of the black cats are perfectly normal as far as anyone can tell. The other black cat had 3 balls. The silver tabby had one ball, one that didn't drop, most of a uterus, and felopian tubes. He got spayed AND nuetered at one go.

Gallagher kept her name. Somehow it fit even better knowing she's a girl.

I miss those kitties something awful.

I'll bet you do. When Jasper our seal point died I was at school and my husband called and said it's bad. He was at the vets office
And told me what was wrong diabetes. He was so torn up but I got another teacher to fill in and I went to the vets office and he told us, we can keep him alive but he will be in a lot of pain because his kidneys had started failing.

That would mean shots and maybe he could live another year. We were with him when he was given the shot and he was so peaceful. I really think he had somehow gotten hold of my mother-in-laws medicine. She has alzheimers and used to get mad and throw her medicine. Jas had never been sick the whole ten years we had him

He started peeing on the floor and he had never done that. After two weeks , we took him to the vet. Now listen to this, the vet sais, "cats are finicky, he wouldn't have eaten a pill and I said how did this come on so fast and we didn't notice. For pete's sake that cat was
With us when we went on vacation , he slept with us, we would have noticed sooner. I don't know. I miss that little sweet jaspie. You must love cats as much as we do.

6 months ago I was living with friends. We had 8 (there were 9, but one died about a month before I left) cats, including toby and gally and all 4 of their babies. They decided they didn't want me in their lives anymore, so I left. Left everything behind; friends, everything I owned, and all the kitties.

I finally found a home and moved in just over a week ago. Since then, it's been me and miss edith. Soon, it'll be me, her, and an unknown number of babies.

That's scary starting all over again but seems you're doing okay for yourself and Ms. Edith. Someone knew you needed each other.
I would hate to see the world without our four legged friends! I was thinking about how some people are so mean to animals. I would never be mean to an animal. Now there are some some people
Who don't need children or animals. Later

I've seen a girl who raised a kitten from before it was weaned pick it up and hug and cuddle it in the street. Then, as soon as she got back to her yard throw that same cat and yell at it and kick it and throw rocks at it. All because her boyfriend, who she was living with, had a dog he trained to kill cats.

That poor cat didn't know what was going on. The person it saw as mommy, who had bottle fed and raised it for the first year of it's life, would love it and hug it one minute, and kick it and throw things at it the next.

What happened to the poor kittie? Gosh that guy needed a good old fashioned butt kicking. Hope they never have kids, he'll treat them badly.

I don't know. I hope it's OK, and found someone who really loved it.

they were just as nasty to people. They had a friend living with them who, admittedly, has issues that make it hard to deal with her. She has the emotional maturity and of an 8 year old, but she doesn't seem mentally retarded. They would go between treating her like a friend and saying some of the meanest, nastiest, things I have ever heard anyone say to someone they called a friend. The worst part of it was, they phrased things in such a way that, if you took them just at face value, they didn't seem mean. The girl just didn't have the ability to distinguish tone of voice.

Hey, maybe one of you critter people can help me with a kitty question.
