I purchased a bunch of raffle tickets from a local Humane Society this Christmas - most of which I gave to different people for gifts. Lo and Behold, I was the winner of the Grand Prize!!!! A Lover's Package (I'm single!) that includes a Hot Air Balloon ride for 2 (along with dinner, wine, a...

I am looking for advice for Morrell. He has these BIG gynormous mats in his fur (on the top of his back). The biggest one (the size of my 3 middle fingers put together) is the one that I want to deal with the most. I can't cut it with barber sheers for fear that I will cut him if he moves (the...

I am contemplating writing a letter to the state Board of Veterinary Medicine to complain about a local vet who should have retired years ago. I just posted a tribute in Crossing The Bridge for my mother's cat, Misty who died this past Tuesday at the hands of this vet. This is not the first...

I spent a great deal of time and energy creating 5 separate cat pages. For some reason the pictures that I uploaded are not appearing (someone elses cat is). I tried to reedit and resubmit, but the problem continues. I also tried e-mailing and sending a private message to Anne, but have not...

I remember last fall, that a member started a thread about views from the kitchen window. It may have been Wellingtoncats. I'm not sure. Here is a recent photo taken from my kitchen window a few weeks ago.

I had a surprise phone call this morning from a teacher/friend that I had in high school (nearly 25 years ago!). We still send Christmas cards (news letters) to one another. . . . she lives approx. 30 min. south of me. She read my annual letter and said she had to call me. She said she almost...

Is it just me, or does anyone else get really irked when people just toss out their Christmas trees on Christmas day?! Or even the day after Christmas? What's the point??? No sooner did I bring up this subject today, and lo and behold, one of my neighbor's trees is already on the front lawn...

I just went to pick up 2 prescription refills for my children. I forgot that my ex-husband handed me new insurance cards a few weeks ago. He didn't explain the new plan or give me any literature. I didn't think to ask any questions. . . . believing that the cards were just to replace the old...
