The idea that somebody looked at a purple onion and called it a red onion really bothers me.

I'll vouch for cat invasion of privacy. My newcomer, a sweet, young tuxedo, likes to hide the screen she steals from the drain in the bathroom sink, usually somewhere under the bed. It's getting annoying now.

As soon as the cats hear the shower come on, they jump between the curtains, and stay there the entire time I'm showering. They come running every time they hear water running, but won't let me bathe them. I think cats have ADHD.

I can't imagine having more than two cats. One was bad enough, but a stray touched my heart. She's ornery as heck! She has this thing about climbing on the counter and pushing things off with her paws. If anything is sitting out, and light enough for her to knock on the floor, she will do it. I have a spray bottle of water, and when she sees it, she takes off. Both cats are fascinated with water, but can't stand to be wet.  :shrug:

It could be worse. Nameless just got stuck up the chimney again, the damper was left open while the fire cooled. Every other day it happens, without fail. Pulling a cat down, claws flailing and yowling like a banshee, then having to wash off the soot gets really old, really fast.

My new avatar is a photo I took about 3 years ago. it is a new born fawn. The mother was in the road blocking my way which I thought was strange, they usually run. I looked over my shoulder and on a ridge next to the road was her fawn. She ran up and tried to divert my attention. Up until then I had wanted a new camera. After that photo....I was fine with the one I had!!!I post this in pets area...it is a photo of a animal.  Thank you Oceander for making my new avatar for me!!!

Snowy Owl Invasion Puzzles Scientists, Dazzles Enthusiasts
By Mark Leberfinger, AccuWeather.com Staff Writer
January 08, 2014; 5:16 AM

Snowy owls have been spotted in the Northeast U.S., all the way down to South Carolina since early December.

Scientists aren't sure why the owls, who spent much of their lives around the Arctic Circle, have arrived in such large numbers.

"It's a great opportunity to see a magnificent animal," Kevin McGowan of Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, N.Y., said.

The owls, the largest in North America, do make forays into the Northeast but this year is different, McGowan said.

"Here in central New York, there were 10 sightings in 10 days," he said. "This is just not the normal way of things."

~LOL~ this reminds me.  One of the people who hired George to do murals was a lady who had three cats. She had a "cat room" in her house with a doggie door to an enclosed run on her patio (so the cats could get fresh air and watch the birds, etc...  so she decided she wanted a mural on all four walls of the room and hired George to do it... one wall was like a fish aquarium  - which was very funny in a cat room - and the other was a tropical island-like scene that wrapped the room with water, palm trees, etc.. over the closet was an open area where the cats liked to get up high and sit...... so on one of the palm trees he made steps that went up the palm tree to the area above the closet  - it blended in to the bark of the trees... the whole thing was pretty cool when it was done and she was thrilled.. how many people spend this much money on a cat room?

A friend's Golden Lab got hit by a car. She was devastated, and later ordered a new puppy. I told her to check out the shelter, and she just laughed at me. One time, when she was in town, she decided to go to the shelter to look around, and saw a skinny lab just staring at her. Of course, she took him home, and complained to me about talking her into getting a sick dog. Within a month, she was telling me she was the best dog she ever had. She was very smart, obedient, and loving to her grandkids. She couldn't thank me enough. Instead of paying $450 for the puppy, she paid $50 and got the perfect pet.

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.

Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.

Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.

As i read that my previous doggie Tasha lays in her grave right outside. She was a lab. Nobody in town wanted her anymore. She was 6 when we got her. She had gone from owner to owner. We moved in town and I was going to keep her during the weekends. It turned she was given to us permanently.

They gave us a bag of dog food, a bucket for her water, dog dish and a doggie bed. She was a yellow lab. Golden color pink nose.  She loved to ride in the bed of trucks. We took her that first day, I thought she would run back to the place where she had been staying. NOPE. She never used to bark either.

She never looked back.She was our doggie. Just a doll.   She passed in winter. March 2011. I was so mad at myself and still am . She was dying that night I knew it. It started at 6pm. I layed with her and rubbed her belly all the time that night. At about 6am I was tired and went to my chair to rest. I could see her eyes. I closed my eyes for just a minute, When I got up she had passed. I feel so guilty, she died alone. I wish I had been laying next to her when she did die.

 We still had 5 feet of snow so we had to put her body in a neighbors freezer until June. I miss her of course. She is buried right outside this window next to the pine tree.

 I have a new poochie now. You see him in my avatar at times. He wasn't wanted either. He has turned out to be a doll as well. I wonder if they know when they are saved from shelters?

I read that poem and wanted to share.  You can see her photo at FR on my about page, I am coldone there.

Flowers. :bighug: :bighug: 034


When our Sandy passed it broke my husband's heart.  She wad his baby... we had het cremated and I sprinkled her ashes with his.  She was obsessed with het ball, used to take it everywhere.  One night after she died I heard a noise in the guest bathroom (on the other side of my office wall)... my husband was across the house in bed watching TV... I went in to look and the trash can next to the toilet was pulled over and laying next to it was her ratty old tennis ball... which we had put away...my husband used that bathroom everyday and she used to go in there and watch as he shaved, etc... I think she left the ball as a sign she was still with him.


Good post, DC
