Wasn't anubis yesterday?
1:56 am
sprite
lol crystalle, yes, enable is fickle enough to make it worth trying, whatever it is :)
1:57 am

Yes, I'll miss him, but I'll have his cat's undivided attention, lol! Little pester-butt! And all the chores, ugh. He helps out A LOT!
2:11 am
sprite
lol, cats are the best.
2:12 am
Kamanjah
I really love my dog, but cats are great. I've had far more cats than dogs - easier to have several cats around than 2 dogs!
2:13 am
KatieMcG
I know I have been away for a few years and are just getting back in to this but I am really not feeling the grid today #only18wordssofar
2:13 am

I love dogs too. Am an animal lover in general. Have had cats for years, love their grace and attitude. Now we have Terra and he is an adorable dog.
2:14 am
Kamanjah
We did have our 24-25-yr-old cat cross the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. He had lost over half of his body mass, poor old guy. He was losing his mind - but he still knew to use the litter box. Felt bad, but he was having trouble breathing. We've been talking about helping him over for at least a year.
2:14 am
sprite
it is great to have you back, Katie.
This grid is not an easy one, no worries, it is not you. Not many series, which may affect your speed. As it does mine!
2:15 am
sprite
awwwww Kam *hugssssss* You will miss him a lot. But how wonderful that he lived that long and had such a great home with you.
2:16 am
KatieMcG
Right on cue my eldest cat has come for a cuddle with drooling and paw holding included
2:17 am
sprite
aw so sweet, coming to comfort you
2:17 am

or just to mess up your babbling, lol, knowing cats
2:18 am

She is 13 but only learnt to purr 2 years ago and now is a fuss monster
2:18 am
ursh
I have 5 cats - my eldest is 17 and refuses to come inside - only eats, drinks and straight back outside. It is winter here and he sleeps under a car. I have put a cat bed out for him but he sleeps right alongside it. He is very thin and getting quite stiff in his movements - really dont know what more to do :(
2:18 am
Kamanjah
The two we have left march over keyboards often. One almost managed to post something I was writing a couple of days ago, lol!
2:19 am
sprite
nothing more you can do, ursh... sounds like he has a mind of his own.
2:19 am
sprite
so sweet, Katie :)
2:20 am
KatieMcG
My other cat regularly cuts off calls by rolling on the keyboard, she in banned from the office when I am in phone meetings for work
2:20 am
sprite
my cat used to lie down on my keyboard whenever I was writing or playing. Very insistently too, lol.
2:22 am
Kamanjah
Ursh, that's cat behavior. The guy we had to help over the Bridge was starting to sleep in the litter box a couple of weeks ago. Hard decisions. I was hoping he'd cross on his own, but no. This cat was a survivor from day 1. Hubby's daughter brought him home when she was 7 or 8. She didn't want him when she "grew up" so he stayed with her dad. She's 31 now.
2:22 am
jaianniah
So there's this guy... And he flies into Babbleland in his AE==plane. But he muffed his landing, and he set the plane AF ===! Now, this AF=== mentioned guy saunters up to us, and asks if anyone knows the cost of AI===== from Babbleland to Scotland. Seems he has a few AI== coins in his pocket and he hopes to spend them there. But we wouldn't want to get too AN=== him, as he smells of gasoline. He also seems to have a habit of pulling his pants bottoms out from his AN==; quite disgusting! In fact, the whole AR== of Babbleland wants to run away from this guy! He starts a fight with someone, and suddenly, Babbleland has become an AR=== for a fight! But true to her nature, Jai steps up, and starts to sing an off-key AR==, which makes everyone laugh. (She does AS==== to be a singer. But we all are getting headaches from her music, and are passing AS===== around behind her back!) So then, the smelly guy pulls some AU=== coins from his pocket, and says he wants to go to Rome instead... But we just told him to shove it in his AU===! He was so offended, he left in a huge huff, and his leaving caused an AU==== in the sky! And then more AU===== came! We felt positively AU======!!! But as you are AW===, this is the end of all the A's, so I must close. Enjoy!
2:23 am
Kamanjah
Haha, Ursh, I just posted a pic of our youngest parked on hub's keyboard. Wish we could post pix here.

2:27 am

Ursh, we have a dog/cat door, so they come and go as they please. But I found what seems to be bear scat in the yard yesterday. We're in the Sierra foothills, but only about 500ft. Bears shouldn't be down here! However, so many fires have driven wildlife places where they don't usually go.
2:28 am

haha, Bruce - I guess I can see how it would maybe predict that... but it's a stretch...
2:42 am
rbud
Could just call me "bud", some do, though I'm never sure if it's a typo or on purpose
2:44 am
rbud
it's really short for "rosebud" from long years past. before I was even on the internet, I had license plates that said "RBUD 1" but got tired of explaining them. Many wild interpretations popped up over the couple of years I had those.
2:49 am
KatieMcG
I just use Kate for coffees, restaurant bookings and taxis as it is much easier than correcting and explaining my’real’ name
2:51 am
rbud
my favorite theory was from an obviously stoned longhair giggling and pointing at my van - when we got out of it, he asked if we grew "it", as he assumed we were saying "our bud's #1"
2:53 am
rbud
then there were the Budweiser variations...
2:53 am

I better be off to start my day, take care all x

So, I was in NYC the other day... I took a cab, and after the driver told me what the FA== was going to be, he told me a joke: What do you call an Egyptian ruler who likes Cream of Wheat? Why, the FA==== FA==!!! Haha. (I know, FA== is a gambling game, but I like the pun...) So, are we all FI== today? Are you FI=== than I? I'll bet you wish I said, "FI=== with the Puns, Jai!" Okay, I will FI====. In a minute. Did you read my "A" story? The pilot in my story set his plane on FI==. Now, here's a fun fact I did not know: FI== is packed snow that is on its way to being a glacier! Do people with a Cockney accent really say "FO==" instead of FI==??? And those dressed up, fancy Brit guys? Regular FO== they are! Another fun fact: If you have a hole in your head, you might use FO== as a prefix for your new hole! How did you get that hole in your head? I got mine because I did not duck when the golfer said, "FO==!" If I was FR== Scotland, I might say the word "from" this way- it's an old way of saying that word. But one would think that the next word was related to that one... but no! FR==== are folds of skin. I should know; I have a lot of them on my old body. FR=== means nearly the same, as in the one under your tongue. By this point, you might be wondering if you are still my FR===. You are. I love you all! Do you have a dog? Is it a Bichon FR===? Last winter, my garden hose froze and became a "FR===" Truly! And it did FR=== (OE past tense here) Perhaps not as funny, but hopefully helpful!

they have a indoor run and outdoor run.. they're exercised every hour on the hour.. pool time.. play time.. if meds are necessary.. they're given correctly.

Pricey - but peace of mind is worth a lot. Thanks. I'll probably contact them.

So - why do you both have sore backs??
11:15 pm
rururocks
if it is an extended stay ori.. it's worth it.
11:15 pm
rururocks
also.. you have to bring the dogs to be evaluated first to get them temperament tested by Annie the owner.

If you two don't tell me the cause of your sore backs, I'll just make something up in my mind :D

I am back... we went on an open boat ride to search for whales and hit some choppy seas. The captain went at speed so there was a lot of air time, then slamming down over each wave. We could have given him the sign to slow down but we were all holding on for dear life instead. It was memorable but I am achy today.
