My sweet, precious cat Cali died unexpectedly last night. She was not quite 4 years old. God, she was so special to me. She was partially paralyzed in her back legs when my sister and I first adopted her and she was one of the biggest blessing I've ever had. She was so loving, grabbing my hand with both paws and pulling it to her face. She always ( Read more... )

Another year another.....year.  I always hope it's different, better and then I find myself in the same place the next year on New Year's Eve hoping for the same thing as years go past faster than seems possible ( Read more... )

 After what they did with Cas in this one, it changed the way I feel about the character.  I don't know if I like him anymore.  I don't know how much longer I'll be watching this show.  Integrity and dignity is something the writers don't seem to want to give Cas this year.  I used to like him because of the character he was, innocent, socially ( Read more... )

My uncle died last night, my mother's brother.  Died of a heart problem nobody knew he had, even him.  Everything happened so quickly it didn't give the family a chance to catch their breath before he was gone.  Strange how not feeling well one day can end up with admission to the hospital the next day and all of the body's organs shutting down the ( Read more... )

Ok, so I was told by my boss not too long ago that it would cost too much to put something over the deep pond in the bird aviary that  many of the babies keep drowning in.  Too much money.  Yet, this weekend, they paid to have the tree in the aviary dug up and replaced with an expensive palm that is totally nonfunctional for the birds.  Now they ( Read more... )

Well, the bird thing went just as badly as I feared.  They were so frightened with the guy trying to catch them that they were flying into the glass doors and freaking out.  On top of that, I think he may have captured a mother bird that was sitting a feeding already hatched babies.  We watched her nest after he left to see if she went back in, but ( Read more... )

I dread tomorrow.  Tomorrow I have to help the guy from the pet store capture some of the finches out of the aviary at work to take to the pet store to sell because my employers want to "thin them out".  It doesn't matter that the pet store guy who knows all about finches said that we could put as many birds as we have in an area 1/2 the size of ( Read more... )

It's getting close to the beginning of S6 and I can't say I'm excited.  I'm approaching it with caution because it's not really the same show anymore.  There's such a thing as character development and then there's changing  characters so much that I don't really recognize them or care about them anymore. That's when it becomes a different show, ( Read more... )

Saved a kitten today and I should feel great, but I still feel sad....sad because I wasn't able to save it's sibling who had died already, and sad because I couldn't keep it because I already have 4 and no more room in my condo. It was such a sweet little thing and I didn't know if it was going to make it to the vet in time because it seemed so ( Read more... )

My hermit crab Oscar died.  I have no idea how that happened.  I bought him about 2 weeks ago as a companion for my original hermit crab, Shelby. I rescued Shelby from the bird aviary at work when one of my co-workers threw about 4 of them in there without really knowing how they would fare. Her son was tired of keeping care of them at her house, ( Read more... )
