The plant that makes me feel old

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

Yes, you’re reading correctly.  I have a plant that actually makes me feel old:

That plant was actually given to me by a childhood friend.  Without giving too much away, that means that that plant is 30+ years old.  How can that be?
This picture actually doesn’t do it any justice.  It’s actually much bigger than it [...]

All done

Brian managed to get Shadow into his carrier and off to the vet yesterday.  If you ask him how he did it, he’ll tell you he “offered him an ultimatum”.
I’m happy to report that the vet called to let us know that he is out of surgery and resting comfortably.
We call at 3:30 to [...]

Shadow’s “change of life”

Friday, December 15th, 2006

So, the question has been asked – when IS Shadow going to get “fixed”?  Tuesday.  Yup.  That’s the plan.  We’ll bring him in after work on Monday (there’s someone at the vet’s office 24 hours a day to watch them).  And he’ll get fixed Tuesday.  Yup.  That’s the plan.
Yeah.  Right.

Frustrated

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Twice now, I’ve tried to post a nice update.  The first time I decided to bounce out and add another picture and when I came back, the post was gone.
So, I started again and did the entire post.  When I went to create the news item, I had to go over to another application and [...]

Ouch!

Okay.  So, today was supposed to be “the” day for Shadow! 
As you may have read previously, Shadow does not want to go to the vet.  He actually makes it quite clear that he will not go to the vet.  However, after four attempts and a bit of trickery on my part, I managed to [...]

Oh, my!

Okay, where has the time gone?  I can’t believe it’s been nearly 3 weeks since I posted.
It also does not seem possible that Thanksgiving has come and gone and now just 4 short weeks until Christmas.
No way.  This just can’t be!

Fourth times a charm!

We did it, we did it, we did it!
On Saturday, Shadow went to the vet for his second kitty shot.
He.did.not.like.it. 
Not.one.bit!
After the last three failed attempts, the vet office was nice enough to give me an “open” appointment and just said to bring him in if/when I could get him into his carrier. 
I [...]

Three strikes, you’re out!

Monday, October 30th, 2006

Okay, I’ve now made three unsuccessful attempts in getting Shadow the the vet.  I just don’t understand – he was so much more well behaved than I would have ever expected when he got his first shot last month.  Exactly what happened that he wants no part of his carrier???
Saturday, I had a plan.  Said [...]

I heard they had 9 lives…

Friday, October 27th, 2006

…but no one told me they had 6 senses!
Yup, he did it again!  Shadow managed to avoid yet another attempt to visit the vet.  This time, I decided that I would try to take him – hoping that with Brian and I both there, maybe we could calmly pick him up and place him in [...]

Am I not the cutest…

…little thing you’ve ever seen?

Well, my dad wouldn’tve agreed with that yesterday afternoon when it came time to get me in my carrier to take me to that evil man that sticks needles in my bum bum.  I said “Uh, no!  You may have fooled me once but you are NOT fooling me twice!” 
Okay, [...]
