In Celebration of the Outstretched Paw

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

I saw this at Sparkle’s blog: In Celebration of the Outstretched Paw. Wow! I’m glad Sparkle is so knowledgeable about all the holidays for cats; I had no idea there was such an endless stream of holidays and celebrations for my favorite animal! I thought my Cat, Livvy, would want to participate in today’s meme. [...]

I staggered in to the kitchen this morning, my nose following the delicious scent of coffee that The Hubs had got going (he IS a doll). He was up before me, so Livvy (our cat) jumped out of bed and followed him down the stairs to the cat food area. By the time I crawled [...]

My Smarty Siamese Cat

I’d once heard it said that Siamese cats are very smart, smarter than “the other” cats. I never really knew if this was *scientifically* true, or if it was just some old wives’ tale or some such.

It’s been “pet” week at the old homestead this last week. *sigh* My senior-aged beagle, Daisy, has been under the weather. Her back leg sometimes just suddenly gives out, and she’s lame.

It took me a long time to find my precious Livvy. I was looking for a half-Siamese cat, and I wouldn’t budge from it. I’d owned a half-Siamese once before, and I just love the breed. My Ing, who has now passed away to the Happy Hunting Grounds, was half-Siamese and she was calico, which [...]

UN-BEE-LEE-VABLE!!! I got a flea bite on my leg yesterday. I am HIGHLY allergic to fleas. I get these great big, bulbous hives on my skin, and the uncontrollable itching goes on for weeks. I HATE fleas- what evil, evil critters. I think my flea allergy started years ago, back when I was in my [...]

My dog. Daisy. WHAT a NAME. I didn’t name her, I’ll have you know! We got her from the pound and her name was already Daisy. She’s the sweetest little beagle, but her name is a faaaaar cry from what she smells like. It’s sure ain’t daisies! My vet told me beagles were kinda, uh, [...]
