Pictures and Videos of Amanita
I’m done uploading pictures and video of Amanita. She is sitting on the desk with me as I type this. She is very finely powdered now. Sigh. To view all the pictures and videos, look here. What follows is my favorites.
Amanita’s Fate is Set
I’ve posted about this on Facebook, Lit, AllDeaf, and Twitter. It’s time I shared it here. We are having Amanita put to sleep tomorrow. My sweet little girl, who I named my website after in 1999, is senile and has kidney failure. She hydrates herself okay, but over time she has forgotten all about the … Continue reading
Cat Advice Needed
I need some advice about our cat, Amanita. She is in the early stages of kidney failure, but she’s managing it herself – she drinks a lot, and therefore pees a lot. She is old and stiff, so she has to be kept up in the bedroom where her litter box is. This is a … Continue reading
Big Dog, Little Dog
Technically dogs aren’t allowed on the boardwalk from April 1 to October 31, but it’s definitely past tourist season even though there’s technically a couple of weeks left. Nobody seems to mind the dogs around. A gay male couple just went by the one direction, walking a tiny Yorkie. They passed a giant St. Bernard … Continue reading
Cute Silent Worker Article
Deaf Cats. Mr. Harrison Weir, president of the National Cat Club, England, says in his book “Our Cat,” that a white cat of the long or the short-haired breed is likely to be deaf. Should it have blue eyes, the fancy color, it is almost certain to be deaf. Mr Weir, at a cat show, … Continue reading
Cute Overload Overloaded
I just have to share this, because I am so totally thrilled about it. Ladies and gentlemen, today I am twice as close to being on Cute Overload as I will ever get. If you saw my quicklinks in the past day or two, you may have noticed the scuba diving cat video that I … Continue reading
Gimme Camera
I love taking pictures. I’m not into digital photography…I only like to take pictures of my cats. I have 450 pictures of my cats on YouTube, and as my cats age, I need to take lots more pictures of them. I keep my little camera on my nightstand so I can grab it the moment … Continue reading
Candy Cat
I had way too much candy yesterday. I kept a lot of it fat-free, but it was still a lot of sugar! Of course there’s still candy all over the place at work, but yesterday was candy day and now I’m going to try going cold turkey again. Also, nothing makes you feel like a … Continue reading
Animals Big and Small
Ant update: They are mostly all gone. :A: left the mailbox open when she came home, and by the time I came home more than an hour later, there were only a few left around from what I could see (I didn’t look very closely). The mail – which was indeed stuffed in there by … Continue reading
Mailbox Pests
You might not want to read this if you’re eating. This morning I went to put a couple of Netflix DVDs in my mailbox on my way to work. I was horrified to open the mailbox and find thousands of tiny ants swarming around. My first thought was the package of cookies raisinbottom sent, which … Continue reading
