Well, I need to get to sleep, too. It took me a long time to fall asleep last night, so I want to get a head start on it tonight.

Good night, BK, and have a good day, all!

We had a small dog, a terrier mix I think, named Pootsy. It's name was really Poochy but my brother couldn't say that.

DR vixmom, you showed admirable restraint. I would be on this harpy until he was rubble and publicly shamed.

All is back to normal on West 82nd Street. Annabelle is back to my bed and back to being the sweet kitty I love. Everyone at the vet's told me how adorable and sweet she was. Thatch is still passive-aggressive tough little street rat wanting to be petted, scratched, and loved and running from it.

The kitty play continued long after I went to bed, and my mind is now tuning out the sounds of their rambunctious play. I went to the bathroom around 1:00am and stepped in a puddle of water where their tearing about emptied the water dish.

All's good.

From now until 10:30 Monday I am in intensive IRS prep. I hope it goes well and easily since I've already categorized my receipts. My Canon calculator will e churning out tapes like mad.

This morning, I'm meeting friends for breakfast on 72nd Street. Before I go, I'll make the bed, tidy up, and take care of the litter. When I return, I'll begin my taxes.

That lousy excuse for a human being is overdue for a mighty fall. How can this behavior have gone on up to now without a major takedown? He didn’t just start being this way.

It's about an immature, incompetent ass trying to protect his territory from being found out. I'd be on him until he's unemployed.

A dog we called Susie, when I was 5? 6? 7? I recall her having a litter - or two - of puppies. We had to give her away because our family doctor identified my chronic problems as allergic reactions to dog and cat fur/dander. There might have been an earlier dog, come to think of it.

Later, in Florida, we adopted Babe (I think the allergies weren’t such a problem then), and she’s the one I’d identify as being the first real pet for me. She was with us through my junior high and high school years, and with my folks through their move back north to Cincinnati while I was at college. She eventually had to be put down due to severe health problems. Fortunately, my folks didn’t need to hold the truth back from me at that age. My best memories of her are my visits from school when she would go absolutely crazy upon seeing me.

It was a couple of years after school, in L.A., that I decided I was a cat person, and thus begins a whole new story.

Having just returned to The Silence of the Lambs this week, I couldn’t help but see that, at first, as “I’m having a friend for breakfast”...

DR Chas I have always been a cat person.

It was a very nice breakfast. On my way out I saw the elevator crew. They said they were hoping to finish tomorrow but it would be a couple of more days because one of them had been out sick.

Leaving soon to drive Kristi and Nathan down to JFK for their flight to Savannah. They're taking a five-day vacation there, first time for both. It's a place we've all wanted to see, and I look forward to their full reports.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #23 on:** February 22, 2018, 08:30:07 AM »

This is make-up for a vacation trip they'd been on the verge of taking when she suddenly got sick enough to have surgery last summer. It will be good for them.

I grew up with a beautiful Shetland Shepherd mix named Rocky (after rocky road ice cream). I got him when I was about four. He was a wonderful dog, a real friend. He was with us until shortly before I went to college.

TOD:
As a child, the first pet we got was a kitten named Romeo. He came from one of our neighbors who had a litter of kittens and there were two tabbys that looked alike so they named them Romeo and Juliet.
As an adult, my husband and I got two kittens and named them Bill and Ted. (It was around the time the movie came out.) When we divorced, I got Bill and he got Ted. Bill and Ted fought constantly so it was best to split them up.
I got my very first dog at the age of 45. Now I groom dogs part time and people think I'm a dog expert and always ask for advice that they should be asking their vet. When I tell them, "I'm really a cat person," they look at me like I'm crazy.

Great blurb and flap copy!
