Happy Foster Kitten Story:

A friend of Sandra's brought over a tiny orange kitten with an extremely LOUD meow. The kitten was four weeks old and the girl had been feeding it strawberry flavored milk. I named her Twinkie (she was the size and color of one).

We grew her up, but she was so playful that she drove the adult cats crazy. When we were going on vacation, I asked a neighbor to feed the adult cats, but I asked a friend of mine to take care of the kitten, since we wouldn't be around to rescue the old ones from the rambunctious kitten. Friend agreed, but insisted WE MUST TAKE THE KITTEN BACK when we returned from vacation.

The day we came back, my friend said "You can't have her back; I am keeping her." Turns out that Twinkie and her kitten Lacy took to each other right away and played and slept together.

This was in 1995; the last I heard a few months ago, Twinkie and Lacy were old ladies, still happy in their home together.

Hi all.

I lead a cursed life. Just when I finely thing everything is starting to better I get slapped down again. I just don't know what else to say.

Got the results from the last kidney stone surgery. They are seeing 4 "shadows" that could be stones on the left side. I'm sick about it.

Add to that Bear's skin had a stitch tear (much like what happened to me with the surgery I had last year). I have to keep a sharp eye on him because if it gets any bigger, I have to rush him back up to the vet.

I have to keep him as calm as possible so I'll be working half days this week. Sigh.

healed crooked. Or crookedly. (I'm sure DerBrucer will tell us.)

"Crooked". You could get away with "crookedly" during the time the bones were actually mending. "Crooked" tells us the position in which they healed, "crookedly" suggests the manner in which they were healing.

Hi TCB,

Wonderful to see you as well. I just hate to keep bothering people with all my problems and these past few months have been chalk full of them.

Sherlock would really like a dog or cat to bond with. I've been telling Keith if we get a cat we must finally succeed at training one to walk on a leash.

Well, you could have had JJ, he liked to walk on a leash

We grew her up, but she was so playful that she drove the adult cats crazy.

When I got my current cat as a kitten, I made an interesting discovery about myself. I don't really like kittens! I mean they're really cute, and they're okay to visit, but I don't like living with them. They have to be playing constantly (when they're not sleeping) and they knock EVERYTHING over. All bottles and pictures on dressers and counter tops must be knocked over on a daily basis. And kittens aren't very affectionate either. They're much more calm and cuddly when they grow up. Actually I don't remember being bothered so much by Bill and Ted's kitten behavior, but they played with each other all the time, so maybe that's why they weren't so intent on destroying the house as Casper was.

Thank you, DRL. I think Bear needs the vibes more then I do. Poor baby.

I guess I should tell you all that he had surgery last week to have a tumor removed.

With his size and age (12) they didn't think he would make it through the surgery but he's still with us.

The tumor was 12 pounds. 9 ounces.

I was very tempted.

If I do get a cat, I think I want a kitten Sherlock can raise. Our best cat/dog bonding was when Belle raised Bosco. Bosco followed Belle everywhere, and later followed Echo around.

I don't know why I'm talking like this, I have felt so lousy the last few weeks I don't need a cat to bother my allergies & keep me awake at night. Sherlock is more than enough. $:-\$

Hello, DR Danise! Sorry you've had so many problems. Glad you've survived the storms OK.

Der B and I have to plan our trips around getting back home within the day, because we don't want to leave the gang alone too long.

Unlike in Long Beach, when when on travel we left two dogs home alone (lots of food and water and a doggie door) and two went to a kennel (which they loved - it was like summer camp!). The longest stretch we were ever gone was 10 days (and the ones a home were just fine - they would have hated the kennel and didn't like strangers).
