To new DR Jan, thank you!

I am moving much better today. I think the trauma of the fall is leaving my body and I'm back to my usual daily throbbing pain. I'll have a better sense of things after my patrol with Annabelle and climbing three flights of stairs with her.

Today, our DR ChasSmith is hopefully driving on to pick up the seven cartons pf books and I look forward to his visit.

When I was born, my parents lived with my maternal grandparents until I was around four years old. I have vague memories of several Persian cats in the house. When we moved to 3003 Goldman Avenue, we soon had a dog - my dad had grown up in Appalachia with a lot of hounds - named Sandy, a German shepherd-collie mix. My brother Macbeth and I, along with most of the other kids in the neighborhood, loved that dog, and he was our constant companion for several years until he bit the postman one day. Even though my parents were against doing it, they had Sandy was euthanized. We went through several more dogs, and we soon had added two cats to the family, Fred and Ethel. Fred turned out to be Frederica and had a litter of kittens.

One of them had litter box issues, although I no longer remember which, and began leaving messes under my bed - another critic! - when I was around twelve years old. This, and probably the aggravation of trying to give away a litter of kittens, resulted in my mother's decision to find Fred and Ethel a new home. Since all of the family pets were outdoor-indoor cats, she drove them to my Aunt Lois' farm ib Columbus, OH, to be barn cats. I do not know how much my aunt appreciated her sister's gift, but Fred and Ethel lived out their days there.

Yes, driving into town today, and it will be good to visit!

It's so hard to predict how soon I'll find a parking spot, or maybe I'll just suck it up and use that garage on 83rd. At any rate, I'll park and then ring you. When we're all done with everything I'll retrieve the car and we can load the cartons and I'll take off. That's better than parking a car somewhere that looks like it's loaded with tempting goodies.

Then, one Christmas after that, I was given a six-week old Siamese kitten, the first love of my life. Meanwhile, my brother Macbeth kept collecting dogs and Randy had guinea pigs and hamsters. The dogs and cat lived peacefully together. I found that while I liked dogs, their neediness drove me mad. I preferred the Siamese's independence, her wish to seek affection on her terms and her time.

We were a dog family for my first 6 or 7 years of my life, and I got to experience the dog having a litter or two and finding homes for the puppies. Eventually, following many childhood colds, the family doctor determined that I had allergies that were aggravated by the fur or the dander, and we reluctantly gave up having dogs. But that did the trick. The constant allergy problems disappeared.

That was in Columbus. Several years later in Florida we were offered a nice dog and we decided to give it a try again. There was little or no problem, likely due to the climate and to the windows being open practically all the time before everyone had A/C. So that one dog was a success.

It was many years till I had another pet. When I moved here in 1989 I'd been around a number of cats. At that point I would have had no interest in having a dog, even though I like dogs, and I became interested in raising a couple of kittens on my own. That's when I went to North Shore Animal League and adopted Muffin and Taffy. That was in 1990 and the rest is history.

And as it turns out, those allergies are pretty much a thing of the past, at least as far as our own cats are concerned. I do have allergy issues now and then, but only of the seasonal weather type.

DR Elmore, probably best to look for me arriving between, say, 11:00 and noon? If that changes I'll give you a call!

Annabelle and I made our patrol. My walking appears to be back to its usual lurch and, outside of the usual throb, the pains from yesterday are gone.

I like dogs but I prefer cats. Those DRs who were here in 2006-2007 may remember my fondness for Randy's and Jo's German shepherds Max and Maddie, both now deceased. I like their new dogs but I adored Max and Maddie, absolutely loved them

Druxy · « **Reply #21 on:** September 20, 2018, 06:31:42 AM »

T.O.D.

I love both cats and dogs. I've has 2 of each at the same time, and everybody got along fine.

Unfortunately, my current dog, who I love, will not accept any other animal in his house.

Thursday morning greetings! Richard and I are going on an "errand date" this afternoon. This evening I'll go to book group, where we're discussing Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie.

TOD - I'm a self-avowed "animal grinch." As a little girl, I was deathly afraid of dogs and now would just as soon keep them at arm's length. I discovered my cat allergy in college when I helped a roommate remove her cat's stitches. Of course, we have a cat living upstairs with her staff, Rob and Mary Linda, and I'm OK as long as I don't touch her. Richard will miss her when they're gone, but I'll be happy to visit her in their home.

I first had a dog, Rocky, who was a Shetland shepherd mix. We had him for 12 years. He was a wonderful friend.

Then I had a rabbit, Freddie Joe, who was with us eight years. He died during Christmas dinner one year.

Benjamin Stone was a gray cat who lived with me for about six years. One day he just disappeared.

I won J.B. in a lottery 21 of so years ago. He’s still a beauty, even if he is neurotic and a self-mutilator.

Maybe our personalities match.

I doubt I will get another pet if anything happens to him.
