Our next door neighbors also have a second story deck, but unlike ours their doesn't have stairs down to the back yard. They can only get to it through the kitchen. Ben was in our living room playing a game when he heard screams coming from their yard. He ran outside and saw that a dog, he said...

Liana Dakota came into the world today at 3:57 p.m. eastern time, weighing 7 lbs and measuring 19" long. She is a weeny baby! (Her sister weighed 10 lbs 8 oz.) My daughter says she has dark hair, and is adorable. I hope to have some photos tomorrow - can't wait to see her! Breathing a sigh of...

Last night became a bit of a panic scenario. I got home from the firm's Xmas do a bit (read a lot) worse for wear, and, as usual, the first thing I do when I get in if it's late is Otis's insulin shot, as it would have been a couple of hours late. I noticed he had a full bowl of food but didn't...

I went to PetsMart today to pick up some cat food and I also got the cats their Christmas presents while I was there. I like to take them out of their packaging, cut off the tags and all attachments that might come off and be choked on. I also like to spray the soft toys with catnip spray to make...

I was practicing my forms (martial arts) yesterday when I noticed Oscar playing with her chili pepper (a fuzzy toy that can be stuffed with 'nip, although I haven't done so recently) on her tree. Naturally, as soon as I went to get the camera, she got interested in what I was doing, so the shots...

Around 9:30 last night Mutt was running with her toy and immediately stopped coming to us in the bedroom. She had lost the ability to walk on her back leg. It's not flimsy or useless, but she is holding it up and hobbling. I'm a wreck. I've been up crying all night since then. This is not...

And I'm loving it! It's one of the coldest winters since we've lived here. It goes down to 19C at night and not above 25C during the day. All the muggy humidity is gone and my skin is not sticky. I'm able to wear real clothes around the house instead of short shorts and a sports bra. Last night,...

.... shrunk and got too small for her. Since I broke my camera, I had to ask my son to bring back my old camera he's "borrowed" from me! ; It seems terribly clunky compared to the one that's broken, but it still seems to get the job done. I was walking around looking for a photo op to test...

Many apologies to anyone who I haven't sent one to up till now. I really did want to send to all but I've run out of energy. I tend to believe I am more well than I am and can do more than I really can. Sorry. Tweed

For the past hour or so I've been sitting here glued to the 'puter. Starting a half hour ago Sammy has been trying everything to get my attention. Hopping up in front of the monitor got her a few scritches, but obviously wasn't what she was after. She jumped down and started grabbing my arm as I...
