    Oh Pawprint I'm so sorry about u'r furbabies--they tug at our hearts just like people, in fact better than most. So I know that feeling. Things have to get better.

    2nd u didn't sleep so well last nite. I hope u feel better today.

    I fell asleep pretty much on time, I woke up once and realized I was using my cat as my pillow, so I moved, but she stayed there.

    Morning girls!  It seems like I'm getting up when y'all are going to bed!   So which one of us is normal here?

    I'm so glad I can get up and read what you all say...   It really means a lot to have all my friends here, and know that we can get together like this...

    And Cammi!  WHAT was that you said a page ago?  That we drink and smoke???  Well yes, but  if we didn't drink and smoke we would be out chasing cars, and procuring  money for what nots!    Do YOU drink and smoke?  No you don't.... I just know this.....  But yes, I DO drink sometimes!   But not enough, I don't think.Winking

    Lacee got up this morning.... and yes little Sass, she went out on her own.... even last night!  I saw paw-prints in the snow where we shoveled her a place to go...  She goes out and stops to eat snow all the time!  But her eyes are brighter and her ears perk up!  She still won't eat though.... just snow....

    I'm taking her back again this afternoon for round 2....!    I wake up, and then start thinking about her, and can't go back to sleep, so I'm WITH all you folk that can't SLEEP!

    Cammi!  Are you still awake?  I'm going to read back, and write more, but this is just a "spurt!"...

    Oh WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Lacee is eating a little of her food!!!!!!! I put down treats, cheese, hamburger, roast-beef.... oh she quit!    Oh well...  Maybe she IS getting better?

    And yes Sass, Dangit!  I thought your friend Lovey would get lost down the cracks somewhere!  Lord knows I couldn't help her...Ha!  

    Aly!  Cutest picture of little owlette!  Did ANY of you guys watch the family of owls in San Diego grow up?  The "Mom & Dad"  were named Molly and McGee!  This guy set up a live Cam in one of his trees, in their Owl box!  And hundreds of us got to tune in and watch those eggs hatch, and the little babies grow up.... get fed, etc!  

    We even got to see them try their wings, on their out-side perch!  

    But they all flew the coop.... I mean house, and now I'm watching the baby Panda live cam from the Washington Zoo.... ! 

    Morning Pawprint.... so sorry about your little Truffs...  It's just hard to even think about....  I don't think Lacee has anything wrong with her eyes, just her hearing!    But that's okay....  I'm thinking "just like her Mom"...... but those things just happen....   Going blind is even worse... I'm sorry.

    What's this about heat and winds 2nd time?  You've got to be kidding!   I would love just a LITTLE of the heat.... even the winds! 

    Cammi, so you smashed your cat?   I don't think that's a good idea... I mean seriously!    I love hearing about you guys and your pets!   But Cam.......  give her some room....image

    holeinone-what do you do for the itchy? Mine boobs are itchy from the stretching, not as bad as it was but it can drive you crazy. I searched for anything here on itchy boobs but nothing came up.

    So I'm up early! Woke up at 4 and really couldn't get back to sleep, so got up at 7, breakfast is done, dishes going, load in the dryer. I will play on the iPad for an hour or so and I think today is a good day to start our taxes. Then later going to buy GD a wedding dress. Wish me luck! I'll post pics tonight when I get back. That girl is going to owe me! 

    Glad lacee is doing better.  We haven't heard from nickyJ for awhile. We need some French stories.

    Was it holeinone or 2nd that wanted sex? Get a Rabbit, girl's best friend. Best way to relax and get some sleep. I have 2!  DH lost interest over 5 years ago. I always thought it was sleep apnea but it turns out he has COPD! And the idiot still smokes! Oh well, I'm not going to worry about his health if he doesn't care. I know it's an addiction, but he won't get help with it and every time I have surgery, he says he's quitting. He last about a week.

    Holeinone, I'm sorry. I must have posted on the Hermits thread about the twins.....I have twin Grandnieces, born on 1/18/14, at 24 weeks, weighing 1.3 & 1.2 lbs. They've been thriving. Very active, but during the night one of them had to be moved to Nationwide Children's Hospital. She had ain in her belly, caused by a possible hole in the intestine. They put a drainage tube in her abdomen and are giving anti-biotics, hoping they don't have to perform surgery.

    They are trying to find room to move the other twin there, so as to keep them together.

    I just posted this on the older womens thread...

    You know, I started thinking, Maybe it could be the Glucosamine Chews I've been giving her for a month?  I printed off the "Cautions" that are on the label.... and I'm taking it to the vet.... But it talks about "do not give to animals with clotting disorders, being treated with anticoagulant medications, with diabetes or any metabolic disease causing hyperglycemia with a history of urinary tract stones, with known allergies to shellfish...."  I hope I didn't do this.....Scared

    And it seems her main problem is with her kidneys, and Adrenal glands.. so I'm going to ask the vet.....  She really won't eat..... again.... but is out laying in the snow....  I even bought some canned white chicken meat.... thought  something different might help.... but not so far...   I take her back for another IV and penicillin pretty soon.

    I just saw your last post Chevy, I hope all goes well with your pet. I wrote all the following before I knew. 

    Chevy, YES Molly and McGee!!!!! I was glued to my computer!   Remember the times McGee Brought home food and we would all be so anxious for him, (or her) to return to the nest.   They were such good parents. I loved watching those baby owlettes.    

    I think I watched some Eagles later on.  

    I have two dogs and two cats.  A standard poodle red 3 years old this year, a poodle, schnauzer, beagle, chihuaha, bishon mix 15 pounds 5 years old. A big grey, black, and white Maine Coon 17 years old, a yellow tabby 18 years old who is so skinny and boney these days. Both cats have always been indoor cats which is a testament to their longevity. All the animals are neutered. 

    I grew up with a Collie and later have had 5 Golden Retrievers. We have had losses to cancer with the Goldens and my husband refused to let me get another. We are bonded to our pets but not like with the goldens, we just loved them so very much.

    I had one rescue that the family insisted return after four years. He would bite men in the back of their legs, he was a puppy mill adult rescue and was traumatized. I didn't know it but he wouldn't let people pet him before me.  I loved that dog so much, he was with me through DX and surgery. When we moved across country my DD husband said that I had to return him because he would never bring the expected baby into our house other wise. He had been bitten and seen him go after every man that came into our house. He also ripped the front of a jeans leg off of a gardener and bruised his knee. That dog  was totally bonded with me and I loved him so much. The rescue group told me they checked and that his sister was also biting men. They took him back and found another home immediately with a woman who lived alone and did not have male company. I have checked on him often and he is doing well with this lady. I still get chocked up when I think of him. He was a poodle schnauzer mix and very sturdy. 

    Don't we all have a lot to write when we talk about our beloved animals.

    Hi all, finally got out of the house today, running around just exhausted me.

    Aly, aren't you clever with all those photos? They bring a smile to my face! Love the cat in the bunny suit! My two cats would never allow that. The cat we lost last year would have let us dress her up if we tried, she was a love.

    Hi1, yes, I have my days and nights mixed but then again, always have.

    Smaarty, I didn't quite understand the comment about the rabbit either, what did I miss? (I already know I'm missing out .

    Chevy, compared to the rest of the country, our weather is much more desirable. However, it's so dry here that a little spark could set the area ablaze, winds just spread it quicker. This year without rain, we have fire danger warnings on the weather report each day and night. We desperately need rain. We had our first blaze of the year last week, was probably on the news. Was really scary when DH and I were on a cruise with his parents (back in '99, for their 60th anniversary), out in the middle of the Pacific and the ship news reported a big blaze - in our city, just a couple of miles from our home. My parents were watching the kids and didn't want us to know that the fire trucks were racing up our street to get to the forest fire. If thre had been winds it really would have been scary.

    from the first time I held my Callie, she let me hold her in my arms like a baby, tummy up, and purred the whole time. She just loved the attention. Like I've said, she had the personality of a dog. She would come to us when we whistled or called her name, she figured out how to push doors open to get where she wanted. We kept teasing that if we had a door bell at her nose level in the garage, she'd probably learn how to use that too.
