    The 2024 Gardening Thread

    I finally finished planting the vegetable garden today. I planted my sugar pumpkins, sweet corn, pole beans as well as calendula, and several other flowers to pull in pollinators and the good bugs. I have onions, garlic, various hot peppers, peas, sweet peppers, tri color beans, purple hull...

    Tabitha

    This past week was AWFUL! Not only did we lose Tabitha, but our Sheltie died on Friday night too. Nick was 11 and feeble. To lose both within days just ripped our hearts out.

    Question of the Day, Sunday May 5th

    We don’t really celebrate much of anything any longer. For example May 5 is our anniversary (47 years). Our exciting day was go to church and come home to do what we do every day- nothing. I do remember my kids and hubbys birthdays. None of the kids are married so no anniversaries to recall.

    Show (club/judge) type and colour preferences for Selkirks and British Longhairs?

    Since no one answered, I will tell you my experiences even though I did not show the breeds you asked about. As long as the cat has no disqualifying traits it should be okay to show. Now the breed standards describe what would be considered the perfect cat. In my breed (Persian) a lot is open to...

    Tabitha

    We lost Tabitha today. She is out of the second litter born here at Posiepurrs, 15 years ago. The vet told me last year that she had a tumor on her liver. She adored my husband coming each morning to sit on his lap and at night to put him to bed. She will be greatly missed.

    Asking for good thoughts for Jack

    It hasn’t been mentioned. If I had the resources I would take him to the hospital that did his surgery when he blocked last year, but sadly my finances are limited. I am still paying off the operation from last year. He has several other serious issues along with the liver failing.

    Asking for good thoughts for Jack

    Not good news at the vets today. He has developed jaundice. Still won’t eat. I am syringe feeding him. The vet wanted to give the fluids one more day in hopes of him rebounding, but wasn’t optimistic. So tomorrow I take him in again, if no improvement I guess we will let him go. I don’t want to...

    Asking for good thoughts for Jack

    Jack is my icon photo. He is at the vets in liver failure, along with a couple of other problems. Vet isn’t very optimistic. He is trying fluids and B vitamins.

    Cozy Kitten Cattery

    I have heard of them and saw advertisements in the past of ‘rare’ colors for ridiculous prices. I would be hesitant to buy if she is still breeding.

    My Persians don't know how to mate

    I am a former Persian breeder. Please consider the following: 1. Are they exemplary examples of the breed? If a breeding does not improve the breed I ( my opinion only) would not do it. 2 Do you have breeding rights on both? If not the kittens can’t be registered and pedigree would be...

    Question of the Day - Monday, March 4, 2024

    I dress for comfort now ( I am old). I enjoyed dressing up when I was young, but truthfully I haven’t had a dress on in almost 10years!
