Cat question I use Revolution on Eli, and you are supposed to use it once a month. But I noticed last night he was scratching and biting at something...do you think I could give his next application a few days early? He is due on the 30th.

Since Cinco has joined the house, Ellie has come out of the bedroom more and more. It makes me happy to see her leave the room and get out and about. Tonight she got up the couch with Cinco and the dogs who were on there too but out of the shot.

Glad that Ellie feeling more comfortable. You are doing a good job.

So, any room on that couch for you??

In my son's career as a student, we have had a teacher who thought a Nautilus was a piece of gym equipment, one who did not use Touche correctly, and most recently the word "artisan" pronounced "artesian" like the water....

tigerose: Well I do think she is a bit of a derp. I do not think she hears very well, because she was awefully loud. Eli came in once, and promptly wanted back out! :).

Somewhat similar story ... Dragon loves people, does not matter if he has ever met them before, he wants to be friends. The only exception was about 8 years ago, when my ex's uncle's girlfriend walked into the house. Dragon froze, every hair on his body puffed up, and he ran yowling at the top of his lungs to hide in the basement. Where he stayed for days after she left. When the ex asked me what I thought the problem was, I said she was a witch. I'm not sure if she actually was, but she could definitely be qualified as a biatch.

yobbery: Fark isn't gving me any trouble. Photobucket however is about to receive a stern email. It's been slow as molasses and won't save edits...just what I signed up for!

Hmm, Fark seems to have fixed the invalid login problem earlier today - but I'm not having any issues with Photobucket (for once), so I'll just leave this here for you.... :o)

Whew. Back at looong last, having finnished transcribing the last of the women's ham radio mag. Could still use to scan the pix that were in the last 2 sections, not for my client but for my 2 overseas adoptees who may not have their hard copies of the mag yet. Not for she for whom I transcribed;
she got verbal descriptions.
Before The Ritual Pic, a comment on derps, sr hearing accessories (Eh Wot? I may need those too) & lack of working vocabulary, which in an English teacher shouldn't be excusable. Engrish, maybe.

This only gonna look like a Commercial Threadjack. Animal Rescue Site very likely no longer carries these.
Croppage didn't work either to get rid of no-longer-available price.
I did go back there to look at Thundershirts again, & found they come in XXS for critters under 7 lb.
If one has $45 to spend on such a thing, might be worth a try for a cat.

What grade level was she teaching? Or was it a special ed class? Scribe is not obscure.

Are you ready? 9th grade English. And she has a Masters...WTF. Must have been the kind you get in the cereal box.

9th grade English. And she has a Masters...
Even I have one of those, not that it's ever been used for anything. Not even for mopping up spilt milk.
Is in audio-visual education, &/ but I never got a teacher's license ...

The Feline Queen Mother HM Furrnandina, Furry for short. Also fluffy, as depictured here.
Last time was too big. I don't get size in KB where I now go,
just in pixels which sometimes deceives

Hey Sherpa - are you getting thunderstorms, too? Poor Cracker Jack is scared out of his fuzzy little mind right now. :-(

laulaja		2012-05-27 09:55:18 PM

Regrets if I did this before, but. At the end of this is another Care2Causes fairly recent tale about an animal shelter in the Astrakhan area of Russia. Maybe I did, but if you recognise it when you get there,
you need not linger. Link
Also current top-of-stack story for today, unless there's been new one in last few minutes, A survey reveals that one-third of British pet owners would rather go away
with their pet on vacation than their immediate family.

professional_vampire, re Cracker Jack & thunderstorms -- somehow I'm doubting your budget
wd run to a Thundershirt for him for $45 all in. Tho meant for dogs, they do come fairly tiny.
Forgive the commercial threadjack again, but XXS accomodates ~7 lb.
