One of my fave NFL videos ever! **Pigeons can fly almost as fast as peregrine falcons, so he could have flown ahead if escape were his intention! Clearly vying for a gunner position. ETA: Better commentary

Some of you may know that one of my pet projects is as a fledge watch volunteer for the Peregrine Falcons that nest on the Clinical Sciences Building here at the University of Alberta. I just wanted to report that after a month+ of incubation, we now have 3 new falcon chicks for 2010 The third...

Hi all...Quick background: we adopted Daisy in Sept/08 from a local cat rescue. She was 5 months old. She checked out fine at the vet at that time, but was carrying "something" as Manytoes promptly became quite ill. After lots of testing of everyone, nothing "really scary" came back negative, so...

This is one of my fave web comics, so I was extra amused at todays kitty theme....I could easily believe that this is exactly what daisy dreams sometimes lol http://xkcd.com/729/

This blog post by a new mom touched me deep inside. Her writing is beautiful, her courage admirable. I just wanted to share this wonderful story with others. I hope this is ok as it is technically posted on a blog (not mine). http://enjoyingthesmallthings.blogsp...rth-story.html

Well as you may have guessed from the title of this thread, I have realized that I need to end my relationship (which has been over for sometime if I am to be honest). Ive seen some good advice on here for similar situations, and am hoping I can get some words of wisdom. I have been with my bf...

YIKES! I have a dental appointment in a few hours because a tooth (1st molar, bottom left) that has never bothered me decided to break off what apparantly was a fragile shell covering a medium-large cavity at the front outside part. Im thinking root canal, but maybe the tooth is big enough and...

Well, Manytoes is in the hospital. Ive been unwell the last couple days so stayed home from lab. Yesterday morning (5am) Manytoes woke me up with what I'll call "Hairball noises". Nothing happened and he came back in and lay on the bed. At about 6:45am, he does it again, but this time has a huge...

So Dave and I go to the Edmonton Cat show last weekend, and doesn't he fall in love (quite funny really!) with this 5month old baby girl kitty from the Hervey Cat Rescue, who has been entered as a household pet. We've been looking/considering a companion for Manytoes for awhile, so its very...

So I was reading about the Edmonton Cat Fanciers show this March, and checked out a link on their page called "Cat Manual" http://www.edmontoncat.ab.ca/html/catmanual.html not quite what I expected, but hilarious none the less

Oh NO! So I started getting cold sensitive on one of my bottom molars, so I went to see the dentist (a new dentist mind you, thanks to moving to Alberta!) on Wednesday. He poked, He prodded, He X-rayed. Then he told me that WOW, I seriously need a root canal. He couldnt believe I wasnt in major...

Well....I never posted in here, and now that I finally have a picture to link, I thought I should introduce you to Niles and Manytoes. Ill have you know they were sleeping peacefully when I snuck up to take the picture, but in the split second between pressing the button and a digital camera...
