After three near death experiences this last year, my Dad died in his sleep on Monday night. My brother-in-law found him on Tuesday morning. The EMT said that you could tell that he did not feel any pain, because the expression on his face was so peaceful. My Sister, Kathleen, called me at...

It snowed all day yesterday and it is still snowing. We have probably 7+ inches of new snow. I had to wait this morning until my neighbor, Harlon, removed the snow from my driveway so that I could get out. I have to drive around 15 miles to work and it was not a fun ride. The snowplows had...

First off, please forgive me for venting. We all got to work this morning and my boss tells us all that our end of the year bonuses are not going to be as large as they have in the past. Then, we have been looking for a new insurance carrier and I found one that is much cheaper than what we...

I saw on a West Wing commercial that Matthew Perry is reprising his role as the lawyer. I loved his character that last time he guested. I hope his role is re-occuring. I was so disappointed when Christian Slater was on only a few episodes. I also liked his character.

I had to take Max for his annual checkup at the Vet on Saturday. Just as I thought, he has infection in both his ears. He has had an infection in his ears every year (his annual visit is always in October). The Vet thinks that he has an alergy that presents itself every Fall. I wish I knew...

Well we got the news back on Dad. Just to recap - my Dad is 84 yrs old and a week ago Sunday we had to take him into the ER as he could not breathe, his heart was racing and his ankles/legs were swollen. The Dr. said that two of the valves of Dad's heart are not pumping the fluid out of his...

We had to bring Dad into the ER last night at 9 PM. I got a call from my sister and rushed down to the hospital. He couldn't breath and his feet and legs were very swollen. They diagnosed him with congestive heart failure. My dad is 84 (he was in his 40's when I was born) and he told them...

I have mentioned my friend Robyn a number of times. She is Max's kitty sitter while I'm away. She found out yesterday that she has breast cancer. I cried with her on the phone last night. I told her if she needed someone to go with her to appointments, sit with her or just listen - I'm her...

M.A., Is the wallpaper on Meowhoo.com this month one of the trips?

Max has to go into the Vet on Oct 26th. He is due for his distemper, which they tell me that he can be infected through the air. The cost for the vet visit and the vacination will be $23.00. I don't think that is so bad. I think he might have an ear infection again. He is three years old...

Tomorrow they are going to start re-siding my house and Max will be so frightened. I am going to put him in my bedroom with food, water and litter box. He would hide there anyway, but I know he is going to be so frightened. I wish I could be home with him, but it is just not possible. I have...

I'm back from vacation! I had a good time, but it is so good to be home - Ahhhh. For those of you who live in Ontario, I highly recommend going to the Shaw Festival and getting tickets to see the comedy/musical, "On the 20th Century". It was hilarious and worth every cent! I missed my fur...

It's almost time to leave on vacation. I'm leaving a week from today for a trip to Canada. Part of me is really looking forward to it, but I hate to be away from Max that long. I don't really sleep well without him (he purrs me to sleep) and I dream about somebody trying to steal him when I'm...

Well today started out really good and I hope it will continue. Max, my furbaby and I had a nice snuggly time this morning. I just love that furry face. I just got to work and it looks like it will be a light day for me. I pick up my new car tonight. I was supposed to pick it up yesterday...

My house is going to go through a transformation. I'm having my house sided (pale yellow with white trim - english country cottage style) and there will be workmen at my house with quite a bit of banging going on. I think my Max is going to freak out. What can I do to keep him calm? He was a...

Lance Armstrong has been having quite a time of it at the Tour De France. Yesterday, one of his main rivals fell right in front of him and he had to swerve off into a field. Today demonstrators stopped him and other riders in their tracks. They deemed that it was part of the hardship of the...

Just a month from today to go before I leave for vacation. I can't wait! I already have my good friend Robyn lined up to kitty sit. She just loves Max and is looking forward to taking care of him. I only have one concern. I've never been away in August and it is very hot right now. I have...

I just got a letter from the Hearst Corporation, they are discontinuing the publishing of Victoria Magazine, with their June issue being the last. This is the only magazine I subscribed to. It was my escape into something beautiful, an era where there were elegance and grace. Everything today...

Yea! Highs in the high 60's today. After all that hot weather, it's so nice to have a day where you don't want to run inside. Won't have to turn on the air conditioning today!

My Sister and Brother-in-law took me to Appleton, WI for the weekend to celebrate my b-day which was last Sunday (June 8). As we live in a remote area, Green Bay and Appleton are the closest "large cities" we have. Green Bay is 3 1/2 hours away and Appleton is 4 hours away. They paid for my...
