I’m not new here. I was a member many years ago, when my 3 cats, Fergus, Ripley, and Captain Steuben were young. Fergus died 5 years ago at the age of 14, and Steuben died last year in March, Ripley, my tortoiseshell, is now 20, and is deaf, and has recently had a mild stroke. Otherwise...

Hey, I'm not recognizing many members on TCS anymore, but I thought I'd pop in and say hello! It's probably been well-over a year since I've visited the forum, and I'll tell you I do miss it here, and all of the lovely members and their wonderful cats. My 3 are doing well...Fergus (he's...

I don't know how many of you actually remember me, as it's been a super looonnnnnnnnggggg time since I've visited...and I don't know how many of the same members have stuck around. It's been a busy time for me, lots of life changes...moved out of home, getting a divorce, and I'm on my own...

I'm considering joining up with Sam's...we go through things in this house like they're going out of style. Razors, paper towels, laundry soap, etc. KITTY LITTER. That's all I have to say!!! Would I actually be saving money in the long run by joining Sam's?

Well, I have to confess to allowing my life to become really unmanageable as of late. Since my husband's recovery from drug addiction, we're left in financial ruins, and we're desparately trying to pick up the pieces. We can hardly make it month to month on our regular income because I'm...

Here's Rita, the 9 week-old basset hound pup, playing outdoors...she's turning into quite the little wild thing. She's recently discovered the joy of chewing on hands and feet. We're working on it. She's fitting right in with the big dogs, and with the cats, of course. Fergus (my big...

These girls all come from Bellbrook, OH. They are amazing hounds. This rescue deals strictly in bassets, and is located approximately 2 1/2 hours from you. These dogs are newly listed...some are in foster homes. Here's Mollie...she's been bred to death, and is around 6 years old. What a...

We arrived home at around 8:00 p.m....let's just say that it's been a crazy night! The car ride home was uneventful...she cried for a bit, and my stepson just held her on some towels in the back seat, and she eventually fell asleep - the whole way home!!! We then arrived home, and I wisked her...

Okay...she comes home to us on Friday. We are DYING!!! I'm not sure how we're managing the wait, but the time is approaching quickly! I just thought I'd share this photo that our breeder sent to us, as I'm accustomed to sharing photos of Rita that are all professional, and show her in all of...

A week from tomorrow (June 1st) she'll be home with us! These pics aren't current, as she is now 7 weeks...so they're late! Sorry! Anyway, she had her first vet visit last week, and her first set of vaccinations, and another de-worming. She now looks like a full-fledged basset hound, and...

As promised, here's our girl at the breeders. She's now eating dry puppy kibble, playing and romping around with her litter mates...apparently she's a talker, too. I cannot believe how she's changed!!!!!!!!!! It's almost creepy!!!! Look at those long ears, people!!! We just adore...

Okay, so our basset pup is now 2 weeks old...we named her Rita. She's changed so much since we visited her last week...she's now 3 lbs and 2 oz., and when she was born, she was only 9 oz.!!! Her eyes are now open, and she's scooting all over the place. Here she is!!! Isn't she beautiful...

I've been worried about you, Mika, and her litter. Haven't heard anything from you lately, so I hope no news is good news... Any signs of kittens yet? Have your parents balked, and allowed you to keep her inside at this point? I hope everything is fine...please update us if you jump on. I...

It was fun. It was cool to be surrounded by a bunch of obsessive crazy cat people (and there were lots of crazy cat MEN, too!!!) in one little place. This was just a local cat club, and they were only showing household non-pedigree cats and kittens, and our Humane Society had entered a few...

Okay, my snobby little torti w/white girl, Ripley, seems to have more trouble with her coat than either of my boys, Captain Steuben, or Fergus. Since she's a torti, she has a lot of black fur, and her skin is almost always flaky, and has visible dandruff. Her coat isn't necessarily oily, but...

Okay, so I'm farting around on YouTube, saving some coveted music vids to my favorites. And, something compells me to save Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up." And, as I'm starting to think how the lyrics relate to my students with special needs..., I find myself crying like a blubbering idiot...

After a long awaited journey with my breeder, the basset pups arrived yesterday!!!! The dam had 6 pups...3 girls (2 tri-color, and 1 mahogany), and 3 boys (2 tri-color, and 1 mahogany), and we get first pick of a female tri-color. Aren't they beautiful? We're going to make the drive up this...

Here's Momma Maybelle! Isn't she a pretty gal? Our breeder e-mailed me, and wonders if she goofed on Maybelle's due date...she's just sort of gotten huge really fast, and our breeder suspects she may whelp those puppies by the weekend. I'm so excited!!!!

Well, some of you may know that we have been working with a wonderful breeder in our quest for a basset hound...and I just received an e-mail from the breeder stating that the dam is indeed pregnant, and we're expecting the pups to arrive somewhere around April 11th! We have first pick on a...

Well, the kitties (and doggies) have been on EVO for quite a while now (about 3 months), and I thought I'd post a quick update on how I think it's going with this food. CATS- They're doing okay. Smaller poops, less litter box waste. Bad breath. Ripley is still having trouble with dandruff...
