Done

Well, I finished the book. It even got me up out of bed to finish...It was engrossing..........To say it was a good read would not do the book justice....You should read this book...maybe that is the better thing to say....

Book of the Day

I am working on this book after finishing the Connelly book The Brass Verdict, which was really good (thank you Once Upon a Crime). It is engrossing and I should have a good chunk done before I have to work, yes work, at Bath and Body...Christmas sales meeting-joy.

And the Superstars of the Family are.....Katie and Quincy!!

No, they didn't make a full page for the Animal Rescue League calendar, but they did make a corner of April 2009, so they are the new superstars of the family. SHHH. We won't tell Wendell.....He just doesn't do pictures well at all................

Better Baby

According to BFF, Sasha is doing better and devouring all the food she can get her paws on. This is a good thing and all will rest easier knowing she is doing better and going to be a frisky kitty again.....

Eli Goes On A Field Trip

Sometimes I torture the children, I admit it. Today I took Eli on a field trip to Burger King (drive thru of course). He travels the best and didn't seem to mind except every time the car stopped he thought it was time to get out....Rode in my lap the whole way there and home....He made friends with the girl at the window, who thought he was oh so adorable!!

Sasha Blu is Sick

I've been in hibernation with this cold, so I was surprised to see an email from my god-daughter telling me that their new cat Sasha had gotten sicker. She has been fighting an upper respiratory infection, this after being fixed (I'm still not sure who gets spade and who gets neutered), having her kittens taken away at the rescue league, and going home to a new family....She has had some busy days as of late. It sounds like she isn't eating, but is getting some more meds and is being pampered and taken care of like the baby she is. She was only 6 lbs to start with and now may be closer to 5. It is worrisome and we will keep our eyes and ears open hoping for good news about this little one. She's a sweety.

The Big Black Boy

I saw a beautiful black cat that got hit by a car outside my front window on Friday morning....Me being the cat lover I am, it was traumatic. I called the rescue league to come and pick him up, but I couldn't leave him out there. That was where Wendell had been found when he was a baby and left to fend for himself....He looked to much like my Wennie, so I ran out in my pj's in "rush hour" traffic, to make sure he wasn't ran over again and to get him to the vet..........When I petted him, he was cold and pretty stiff, so I knew it wasn't good........He was bigger than my Wendell, very muscular, with a bobbed tail, and a few stray white hairs like Wendell has...His paws were huge, and he had all of his claws...His eyes were blue at this point and I would have loved to pick him up and give him all the love he deserved, but that wasn't the case. I put him on a rug in the car and drove to the vet and bawled like a baby the whole way there. They knew I was coming, but were still a bit panicked to see me...The girl who let me in, didn't know what was going on so I had to make sure they knew he wasn't mine, but he needed to be checked........They took him and confirmed that the big guy had passed away........the rescue league would pick up his body...............I told them that we would take him home...........he may not have been loved enough in his life, but he will be truly mourned in his death. Not a great way to start a day.
