It seems that all I am posting lately are pet obits… (sigh) Noodles was very sick in the last weeks of her life and had to be PTS on September 26, 2011. We thought she would be with us for a good long while yet… and our hearts are broken… When Noodles found us, we [...]

I knew the day would come when Orion would be gone, but I was not prepared for the depth of the emptiness I feel without him. When we had to have Merlin put down, I was devastated as well, and it took a good long while to feel better. But Orion, and Boots were still [...]
It’s funny, we didn’t call him Orion very often, yet he always knew his name. When we got him, we already had Merlin, and for several years it was just the two of them and us — “the dog” and “the puss cat”. He answered to both, Orion & puss cat. Even last night, when [...]
I called him Sweet Boots almost all the time, because that’s exactly who he was. Just the sweetest cat, not a mean bone in his body. A very gentle soul. Back in August of 2006, Boots was diagnosed with CRF (chronic renal failure). From that time to this, Boots fought the valiant fight until, as [...]
Cats and Water
Posted in Fursons on Jul 7th, 2007
It’s just water, cats need to drink it to survive just as we do — but get it *on* them, and it’s freak-out time. Unless they are drinking out of the sink, somehow then the “wadder monsters” don’t have the same affect. We’ve got the kitty food bowls on the counter-top by the sink, and [...]

One Hundred Percent Good Dog, Merlin 1990 – 9/25/2006
Posted in Fursons on Sep 26th, 2006
Dear Sweet Merlin, The first day we met, you were still a puppy, you got so excited you peed on my ankle. Who could possibly get upset by that after taking one look at your gorgeous face. You were sorry, and a bit embarrassed too. We laughed it off together. Your soulful eyes could melt [...]
Last weekend (8/19/06) we rushed one of our cats, Boots (slightly over 10 years old) to the emergency vet (first time we’ve used these folks). He was there from Saturday night through Monday afternoon. They are so cool, so caring (so costly) but worth every cent. About a month ago we had brought Boots to [...]
