Cats in Need of Good Home

Attention Houston area people and those in the general region: A while back, as you know, I was involved with a local shelter and rescued several kittens. My involvement with the shelter has tapered considerably, but I still have five cats (four are now 11 months old) that need homes. I ...

Dead Cat

Earlier tonight my daughter and I went out for a bit; we got home around 9 pm, or four hours ago. Kara just went out to go for a walk and found a dead cat on our walk. Our driveway is about 50 yards long and it's another 15 feet ...

Filtered: Fundraiser: FAIL

I'm slowly catching up on my sleep and am currently completely backwards on my schedule. I got up (reluctantly) at 10 p.m. so I could eat and feed the feline hunger brigade. The house that greeted my emergence from the bedroom looked like a demilitarized zone right after an application ...

Filtered: Offline Due to Illness

I've even activated my vacation email auto-responder. I have no idea what's up with me but every day brings a new variation of seemingly unrelated yuck: fever ~101, eyes that itch intensely but only while I'm lying down, one side of my head running like a faucet, severe night sweats ...

Painting Project Photos

My brother recruited me about a month ago to paint some furniture for him. He lucked into some furniture by some elite artist for his resale shop, and decided I'd be handy to paint some up for sale. I checked out the website, which I can't find now. I can't ...

Filtered: Lions and Tigers and Transits, Oh My

A look at my long-term transits on Astrodienst a bit ago was interesting. First transit nailed my new and unusual routine of the last few months. That transit is nearly past, so it's sort of like a confirmation rather than a look ahead. I haven't even read the others yet, ...

Kitties Rule, Except For That Awful Smell

Hey folks, long time no anything! I thought you might like to see a couple of pictures of the new kittens, who are 8 weeks and 1 day old. We have four, all males, and they've officially entered the cute overload stage. They do little hopping attacks and leaps, graceful ...

Things Are Definitely Moving

You know how it goes when you're trying to, for example, clean out a closet or garage or other area that's very disorganized – you make a much bigger mess before you actually create anything like order from the chaos. Yeah. That's my life for the last two months, and ...

Filtered: Pet Doubt

My heart is really breaking over giving up the animals. Aki was only here three months and really needed to find an owner who can give him a lot of attention, but he was so scared when I put him in the display cage. And I can't help but feel ...

Filtered: Changing of the Guard

Very quickly: I am swamped again, as we're getting new siding on the building and I have a magazine due in 9 days, but I wanted to touch base and tell you all some news that I've waited to tell until things actually worked out. First of all, we re-homed ...

Adventures in Dogsitting

I forced myself out of bed yesterday morning after less than three hours sleep so that I could drive 45 minutes to a ritzy community center in Kingwood (a suburb north of Houston I'd never visited before) for a Dog Adoption Day. Homeward Bound was teaming up with an organization ...

Winters Are Like Leap Years

I had to leave the house a couple of hours ago to visit the next burg about 20 minutes from here (usually, at least). When I left, I knew I was in for potential trouble. See, this is south Texas, and people here are completely ignorant of how to drive ...

Update on Fund Raiser

I'm having an urgent-need fund raiser for animal rescue. See this post from yesterday. So far I have two people donating. This isn't enough. So I am adding a referral prize. Anyone referring a friend who donates will earn a free reading. Doesn't matter if said friend only gives $10, you ...

How Do You Feel About Animal Welfare?

A lot has happened since I last posted here. During Thanksgiving week, my daughter was feeding the neighbor's cat every day while her friend was out of town. She noticed that the food bowl kept getting knocked over, and eventually found out that a stray dog was stealing the food. ...
