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 need to place these Continue reading →
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 to the porch; the cat Continue reading →
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 remember the url and an Continue reading →

For immediate concern: The feline division of Homeward Bound (that’s us) is in urgent and immediate need of funds for the care and treatment of the foster kittens and cats in our possession. Right now, we have five male kittens and two adult female fosters. The kittens and one of the adults need to be Continue reading →
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 and clumsy all at once. Continue reading →
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 it’s accelerating, compounding, and taking Continue reading →
Adventures in Dogsitting
18 January 2009 By 2 Comments
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 called Twyla’s Friends, a no-kill Continue reading →

I’m thrilled to announce that the fundraiser has been a smashing success! You folks are so generous and compassionate, and I am very grateful to each of you. Thank you so much! My account is out of the red and into the black by enough to save me from panicking – plus you came through Continue reading →
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 in winter weather. It was Continue reading →
Update on Fund Raiser
10 December 2008 By Leave a Comment
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 still get the free Continue reading →
How Do You Feel About Animal Welfare?
9 December 2008 By 11 Comments
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. Over that weekend, she managed Continue reading →
