Well the hair is growing over the thing on under Shaggy's eye, he is finished the medicine, from what the doctor said, there really isn't anything to do and it doesn't look like cancer, so I think evenually it will heal. He goes for his reg check up in 4 m, so I will have him check it out again.

Great to hear it's not cancer, hope Shaggy's back to his normal self

Love the pics everyone!

Just thought I'd post this over on this thread since he has a pet in his lap.





Someone on the forum posted it on another thread and I saved it, but I can't remember who and what thread (sorry ). So, thanks whoever it was for finding this one...you get the excellent VDO photo-finding credit.

Cute! Wonder if it's his or just some cat they brought in for the photo shoot.

Speaking of which, there's a scene in Feeling Minnesota where his character gets out of the car to visit Red (I think that's his name) and there's a cat blocking his way so he looks at it and tells it "Will ya move?" Hilarious!

I don't know, but that's one lucky kitty!

I haven't seen that movie in forever...I'll have to watch for that scene next time.

Thats good to hear Jryan.

I have a five month old Airedale Terrier who is quite active. We're dog sitting a friends beagle puppy. It was quite humerous when they met last night. My dog, Scotty, is about three times the size of the beagle. Molly, the beagle, is cute, though.

We had a friend once who lived on a lake. Their neighbors had an airedale. That dog would stand belly deep in the lake, watching the fish swim in its shadow. It was like a statue, but just its tail moved. They are beautiful dogs.

Hi everyone. I've been busy and away from the computer for a bit, but I thought I'd share some of the pictures I took last week when we had our "big snow". Okay, it was just a couple of inches, but in North Carolina, any snow is "big snow". I've turned into a winter weather wimp. But I'm OK with that. LOL



Mandy. My sweet old girl.



Gracie's first snow... she couldn't get enough of it!



Calvin didn't know what to make of it all.



The boys are getting so big.

Wow, the kitties are getting so big! Your old dog looks like mine, all grey in the face. I like Gracie's expression. =)

Great to "see" you pfc and your beautiful babies. it's been awhile.

Poochie says to tell you thanks for the hug.

It can be an easy scene to miss but it's near the ending

On Monday I took kitty Tasha to the vet since it looked like she had a cold, and she also had a wound on her foot that wasn't getting better. They said she had a bad upper respiratory infection and that her kidneys were getting ready to shut down. They put her on IV fluids and kept her overnight. Since I couldn't afford to have them rerun all her bloodwork the next day, they said we'd just have to hope for the best.

I brought her home Tuesday evening and she seemed tired and wobbly on her feet, but I figured that was just due to the medicine they had given her. I put her next to the food and she didn't want to eat. I put her in the litter box but she didn't need to go. The wound on her foot wasn't a cut like I had thought but an abscess which had ruptured, and it had finally scabbed over during her stay in the hospital. Her face wasn't snotty anymore either. I gave her a little petting and love, but mostly I left her alone to sleep off the meds.

I fell asleep early due to the stress of the past couple of days, then woke up and moved from the couch to my bed. The next morning I got up at 6 and found her laying in the front corner of the living room by the windows where I had last seen her the night before. I hoped she was OK, since she sleeps really soundly sometimes, taking a few pokes to wake up. This time she didn't wake up to give me a look for disturbing her sleep. She had died sometime during the night.

I'm so very happy that she was able to come home before she went. I don't know what ultimately took her life, but I'm sure she wasn't hurting or I'd have heard her squeeking. She never really meowed properly unless she was being very insistent. She was a very sweet and loving cat. I'll miss her trying to knead my hair thereby clawing my scalp, sitting on the back of my chair, seeing her when I come home, laying on my chest when I was watching TV. I found a place to bury her outside so her body can return to the earth.


Love you baby kitty girl, vampire kitty, velvet cat, snotface, attention seeker, velcro kitty, smelly face, needle claws, pretty kitty, Seekrit Cat.

Oh, Janx, I'm so sorry about the passing of your beautiful baby girl! She was very blessed to have such a good kitty mama. I hope all your wonderful memories of her will comfort you.

That's so sad to hear, Janx. It sounded like she'd been in a lot of pain before she died, at least there's no more pain wherever she is now.

It reminds me of when my first cat Boots died, I didn't find out until I got home from school that day, she apparently died during the night and was discovered by my parents, my mom told my dad to take her to the vet so they can take care of the remains. It was quite sad but even more sad for mom cause' she was her cat mostly.

janx, I'm sorry that you lost your kitty baby. I'm glad that it gives you peace knowing that tasha went peacefully.

I am sorry to hear about your kitty. It is good you got to say goodbye to her first. She looks like a very loving friend.

Hi Everyone!

For those of you who are interested in animal welfare and conservation, this is an organization that I visited after seeing a documentary about them on Animal Planet, featuring “Eddy” the leopard. I was so inspired by their mission and how well they care for the animals they provide homes for, I’ve been sponsoring several of their leopards for two years now – “Sam”, a black leopard, and “Chloe and Jake”, both spotted leopards. Here is a little info from their website:

The Wild Animal Sanctuary is located just outside Denver, CO and is a state and federally licensed zoological facility. They are a 501©3 non-profit organization (tax deductible) and operate with donations and the help of very dedicated people who volunteer their time.

They have been rescuing exotic wildlife and endangered species since 1980, and are currently provide a home for more than 200 Lions, Tigers, Bears, Jaguars, Leopards, Mountain Lions, Lynx, Bobcats, Servals, Wolves, and other wildlife.

The residents of the Wild Animal Sanctuary were abandoned, abused, illegally kept, or came from other terrible situations. The majority of the animals were so-called “pets”, and were confiscated by law enforcement officials - usually within the first six months of their lives. The sanctuary also provides permanent refuge to surplus animals from zoos and other wildlife facilities, where they face euthanasia due to over-breeding.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary has one of the most contemporary facilities in the nation - with multiple habitats ranging from 5-acres to 25-acres. These amazing habitats offer unprecedented freedom, and natural living spaces for the animals they rescue.

For more information, you can go to their website at:

Wild Animal Sanctuary

Here are links to photos of “my” adoptive leopards. I got to see them playing on my last visit. So sweet!

Chloe
Jake

Hi again...I just wanted to post the info above from the "OT" thread here, too, for all the animal lovers on this site.

[LadyBlueDevil]

Another great organization that I support by buying things from their shop is the Snow Leopard Trust. Snow Leopards, like the one in the photo, are native to the high mountain areas in Asia, and are critically endangered. The trust sponsors research, promotes conservation of snow leopard habitats, and works with the local communities to educate them and help their economy so that they won't be tempted to kill the leopards for monetary reasons. Here is the link if anyone is interested. If you sign up for their e-newsletter (which is free) $2 will be donated to the fund from a private charity.

On one talk show he mentioned he had a cat. On Happy Accident he mentioned he had a dog. Wonder if he still has a pet.

My cat is doing something so strange, we have one of those automatic water bottles she keeps putting her paws in it like she is trying to get something out, just to hear the gurgle sound. She hates a bath, but doesnt mind wet paws, this agravates Shaggy so he barks at her when she does it. I am going to try and get a pic of this it's so funny I should get a video. I need to put a mat under it, cause my floor ends up wet.

My mother's cat has a water obsession. He dips his feet into his water bowl and licks them clean. She had to keep getting a heavier and heavier bowl until she finally found one he wouldn't dump or slide all over the kitchen floor. We think he just likes to wash his feet every now and then. Makes sense to me!

[Jryan]

I think she might see the plug of the jug and maybe is trying to reach it. Here are some pictures, Shaggy is barking in the first two and then he finally leaves the house, lol.

She definitely looks like she's on the hunt. That is really cute! Poor Shaggy...aren't little sisters just a bother!

That is cute, I find it ironic that cats will get their paws wet yet some will almost claw your eyes out if you even try to give them a bath.

Speaking of cats, here's a link that has a pic of a cat sporting a "lion cut". Apparently the groomer misheard the owner (they really wanted a line cut). Poor kitty!
