    Bringing in October With Four Tiny Orange Fluffballs.

    Well, crap. Turns out our resident feral, H.P, was pregnant. Not sure how I didn't notice, she didn't appear larger than usual over the last 3 months. Anyway, she gave birth to four tiny orange fluffballs early this morning or late last night. Either way they aren't more than a day old. Happy...

    Help! Very Frustrated!

    Reorganizing Photos. I know how to do it, I understand how it works. The problem is this: When I do reorganize one photo  in my album and then save it, for some reason it totally screws up the entire album's order. Naturally I go back to fix it, click save and again the whole thing is messed...

    I live in the south where it is almost always hot and the mosquitoes are terrible for 8-9 months of the year. Living in the country I love taking my dogs out walking and down to the Altamaha river to swim. I can protect myself from the annoying bugs but it seems when I do that they end up...

    What could cause this?

    One of our cats, H.P's pupils are dilated differently. One is sometimes much larger than the other and sometimes only by a little or not at all.
