One of our cats, Addie, can't be spayed because she has an allergy to anaesthetics (she very nearly died when exposed to very minimal levels). That's not a huge problem as far as procreation because our males are neutered and she has no access to the outdoors (we live in an apartment building...

We had a bit of a food emergency (didn't realize we were out in time to get to the pet store) and grabbed a bag of Beneful for Max. Thing is, he LOVES it. Comes running over at full speed and goes to town on that kibble, even dry, and usually he's picky about dry kibble. Plus, the bowl is...

I know you men on TCS aren't going to be able to help reading, so I warn you it's about nether-regions (as my grandma says)....lol I want to get a Brazilian wax. Shaving just doesn't work for me, because my skin is so sensitive I end up with a rash.....by the time the rash is gone, the hair...

What is everyone and/or their kids being for Halloween? I'm working on costumes for the kids I mind (I'm a nanny). The twins are going as Mario and Luigi, and their sister is going as Link from Zelda. It's a whole Nintendo theme this year! The hardest thing to find has been overalls in the...

Isn't it funny how certain traits and/or interests can be tolerated or even enjoyed in your SO, when other people couldn't stand it? For example, my bf's sense of humour and my own are not the same (his is quite....lewd and mine is dry, even black), but I find him funny and he finds me funny...

So, bf and I have an arrangement wherein he is responsible for dishes (which I hate doing) and I am responsible for laundry (which he hates doing). Well, being that he works in the computer section of Futureshop and it's back to school, he hasn't had much free time. So, I have discovered that...

We ordered out tonight and had a bad experience. Thought you guys might want to read this email I just sent to their customer service..... "We have just had a very frustrating experience with Pizza Hut. We phoned in an order for pick up at the Newmarket store and recieved our two pizzas...

I've finally finished my cottage CDs (good thing, since I'm leaving in the morning). I've made 5 of them and I thought it would be fun to see if any of you guys have similar taste in music. And, I'm in the mood for a poll. So, vote on which CD you would most like to listen to or pick other and...

So, I took Addie in to see the veterinary anaesthesiologist and a surgeon in Toronto. The good news? They say they can do her spay. Apparently, they do it fairly regularly and it shouldn't be a problem. The bad news? It's going to cost 1,300 and change. So....it'll be a while before we can...

I'm going to a cottage for 5 days next week (yay!) and I want to make some cds to bring up with me. I figure I'll have a few themes: rock: some smashing pumkins, green day, I like the new Fratellis song Flathead....what else??? classic evening on the deck music: van morrison, neil diamond...

So, we had a double vet appt this morning. Lola had her yearly and Addie had a weigh-in. Lola first....she's healthy overall. Unfortunately, she's gained 1lb in the last year, because she's a piggy and we've had to free feed to try to pack the weight onto Addie. Still, she's fine, got her...

Is anyone a fan of this show? I've just decided to watch it, from the start. Our local movie store has this great membership deal where you pay $20 a month and can rent as many movies as you want (2 at a time, "1 day rental new releases not included), and they have a GREAT tv section. I...

So, it's friday and I'm off work reasonably early. I don't have to get up in the morning. We thought bf had to work tomorrow, but it turns out it's next saturday. Plus, we've been under some stress due to some issues family members are having. We were just sitting here brainstorming what to...

I just wanted to let everyone know that Mittens seems to be completely recovered. I can't believe it was only Monday that he came back from the vet and that it was only this past weekend that we didn't know if he would live through his ordeal. He is doing great, eating with a strong appetite...

So, Mittens is finally back at home. He had been at the vet since thursday afternoon. He hasn't been vomitting at all. However, he did have some pretty serious mucus-y slightly bloody diarrhea on sunday. But his stool was fairly formed by today at lunch and he was eating and drinking...

Mittens is still at the vet and will be spending the weekend there. CBC came back normal, so it's not an infection (and temp has been normal). They did a series of xrays with barium, and the barium went all the way through, so it's not a bowel obstruction. Yesterday's bloodtests showed that...

So, if any of you are following, I'll let you know what went on today. I got there at 8:30 and was optimistic, as he hadn't thrown up the six kibbles of food from last night! So, I gave him his medicine and went about my morning business. About 10:15ish, he threw up. I didn't see the act...

The kitty at my work is sick! His name is Mittens and he's a 3 yr old white DSH. He's a bit of a loner and kind of bitey (front declawed), but a good guy as long as you respect his space when he wants it. He had thrown up three times this morning (from partially digested food to "pinkish...

I bought some huge peaches while shopping today and bf wants a pie. We're going to try out a whole wheat crust recipe, but I'm wondering what to do with the filling. I'm not much of a pie maker..... I figure I'll probably add some nutmeg, cinnamon, a bit of lemon juice (to keep the peaches...

This might be sort of long, but I've broken it into paragraphs. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing. So, I've never been a sleep walker. My dad gets himself off the couch, to the bathroom and into bed in a complete trance, and is impossible for anyone but my...
