Hi!:wave3:I used to be a regular like 10 or so years ago, but have been away for a while, and I'm trying to get back into the community... because yer a great crowd!
So.... I'll get around to asking my vet in the next week or 2 when I take Rose to get weighed and hope she's not losing,:yess...
Hi there! It's been a while since I've been around, but I need to talk about my Genever. I didn't want to post here for fear of being judged, but I am judging myself pretty harshly already, so I hope there will be at least a bit of support or encouragement or just a virtual hug. I know I'll type...
Hi there, long time no type.... I know I'm a stranger on TCS these days but I still love this place and love the people and info! And I need some opinions, even though I'll ask the vet tomorrow..
Genever's been a bit off for a few weeks, started when it was 100 degrees for about a week, and all...
Happy Christmas!
Also, we adopted a new cat 11 days ago who we named Rose. Genever was very clingy to us after we lost our Dorothy
And a Christmas pic of Genever for good measure.
Hi everyone. I know I've been pretty much a stranger for the past 2 years or so, but I really need the power of those TCS vibes right now for my Dorothy. She's been a bit up and down the past month or so, lost a bit of weight and blood tests showed her thyroid was high, so we increased her...
Hi there!
Then feeling a bit better after an hour or 2, helping me study (with Dorothy behind her, looking away) and then chilling out on her daddy's lap:
Hi there!
I know there have been vacuum threads in the past, and I have read through a few of them, but since the last post I saw was back in August, I thought I would bring up the topic again. Hope you don't mind..
We need a new vacuum. Our old Hoover stopped working a while ago, and we've...
It started the Monday before Thanksgiving with sneezing. By Wednesday it was enough sneezing still that I knew it wasn't just some allergies, plus she was hiding and not quite acting like herself, so I made a vet appt for Saturday, hoping it would be cleared up by then. But she was still...
Ok, I will try to make this short, since I'm typing on my phone on my lunch break. But the story couldn't wait! Yesterday, a friend was headed up from san Diego, staying til Sat morning. She was going to arrive earlier than I expected so I raced home, cleaned up a bit and then when I was done...
It went really well today! I was terribly nervous this morning of course, but when I got there, everyone's just so nice so I didn't feel so bad anymore. It's a 3rd party logistics company, dealing mostly with foods, we warehouse, pack and ship stuff for the distributors/manufacturers to the...
May I humbly ask for some magic TCS job vibes? I have been out of work and looking for way too long, and on Monday a friend emailed me a listing of jobs at his company, 2 of which looked like I could do. So yesterday, I printed off their application, filled it out and brought that and my cover...
Dorothy is forever keeping an eye on the neighborhood out the front windows. Usually on the back of the sofabed sofa which is up against the front window in the spare room, but sometimes from the Ikea chair foot rest thingy in the living room too. It just struck me as funnier than usual today...
I just wanted to brag and post that my grandma is 99 today!
She's doing well, mind is sharp as a tack, but she doesn't get around well due to bad arthritis in her knees. Still, she is a great woman, has lots of stories of course, and I wish I could give her an actual birthday hug in person...
We have an apple tree in our yard, along with the lemon, orange, tangerine, and lime (which we planted and I think is dying). Last fall we got maybe 3 apples? This year we have a lot more, but most are pretty small, but some are normal sized. But I am not a huge fruit eater, and I don't pay...
The vet took this pic while Dorothy was there to get her skin tumor removed and gave it to me. I forgot to ask if it was before or after the procedure. They kept saying "She's such a good kitty!" (I already knew that though!! )
A few pics of Dorothy's 'surgery' site. Such a big shaved area...
So we took Dorothy to the vet at 7:30 this morning for her 'surgery' to get her skin tumor thing removed. I miss her! I hope she's not too scared, but I'm sure she is hungry and thirsty! She was bugging me since before 6AM, probably for both food AND water, as she usually drinks a lot at night...
We found out last night that our friend/neighbor/catsitter is in the hospital for a pulmonary embolism, I don't know all the details, BF talked to him and told me about it, but he went to his doctor for trouble breathing, and his doctor told him to go to the hospital, where they found a few...
I've noticed since the weekend (so almost a week) that Genever's had an itchy right ear. She'd scratch at it a lot, and shake her head a whole lot too. I checked it out a few days ago and couldn't see any gunk in there or any redness or anything. This morning there was a ton of scratched off fur...
Today is my babygirl Genever's 4th birthday!!!
We had a birthday party for her when she turned 2- that was so cool. I made up little treat bags for people with candy and bubbles in them (like for kids parties), and decorated the room with purple and pink crepe paper, and she even got a few...
Since neighborhood cat Mister's been hanging in the yard today, I thought I'd take some pics of him to share. Genever's been meowing and meowing to go out, but I told her no, she's too young to hang out with boys.
Mister chilling under the apple tree:
And under the bench:
I wanted to take...
