Cats, Cats, Cats!

I ADORE CATS! I think they, along with Horses
and Dolphins, are some of God's FINER creations!

So when Pickles ran these, I couldn't help but to save them.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did/do!

This is my baby. Baby Mac. He had to grow to his EARS, TAIL, and FEET. This was his first Christmas which actually occured on December 25, 2006...not on March 2, 2004 as the photo states.

Hey, it was a new camera and I never claimed to be a techno-wizard! Didn't even know the feature was turned on til I got these downloaded!!

He was the LAST baby born on August 28, 2006 and he was the BIGGEST one. He was also the LAST one weened and that was done forceably as Lil Mama would see him coming and lay down on her teets and refused to nurse him anymore. Hence, I believe we have an oral problem as he has since then been a "tail-sucker"!!!

Baby Mac today weighs a whopping 13 POUNDS! Be careful where he steps!

For the Love of Dogs...

Three years ago, I adopted a purebred
Sheltie from a rescue shelter. His name was
Buster. He had bad teeth and his fur stuck
out no matter what.

I didn't care. He was my dog. He had a few
owners in his life, and I promised him that I
would never give him up, no matter what.

Earlier this year, we found out Buster had an
enlarged heart. The vet gave him six to eighteen
months. Buster was having seizures that were
probably causing brain damage.

Last Friday night, he had a seizure and cracked his
head against the sofa. He couldn't walk after that.
He kept bumping into walls and experienced
constant bowel movements and vomiting.

My dog was gone. Buster was no longer there.
His body was walking around, but that was all.
I decided he needed to be put to sleep. He went to
sleep on December 21, 2007, less than a month
before his ninth birthday. I feel his absence keenly.

I sincerely hope and pray dogs do get into heaven.

After all, D-O-G is G-O-D spelled backward.

Buster had no worries at all. He knew that I would
feed him and water him in a timely manner and that
I would take care of him no matter what.

In return, he gave me his loyalty and undying love.
He taught me a very important lesson: This is what
God wants from us.

I feel awed that such a simple creature could teach so
valuable a lesson with deeds and not words.
I already loved God with all my heart, without
reservation, and followed him.

And now, I love God even more than I thought possible.

Things You Can Learn From Your Dog

- When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

- Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

- Allow the experience of fresh air and the

wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

- When it's in your best interest

- practice obedience.

- Let others know when they've invaded

your territory.

- Take naps and stretch before rising.

- Run, romp, and play daily.

- Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

- Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.

- On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

- On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.

- When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

- No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into

the guilt thing and pout... run right back and make friends.

- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

- Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have

had enough.

- Be loyal.

- Never pretend to be something you're not.

- If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

- When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit

close by and nuzzle them gently.

Goodbye 2006, Hello 2007!

2006 has sped by




Now we need to face 2007




There may be risks involved




We may need to face roadblocks




So stay alert




Share time with friends




Jump over obstacles




with care




And caution




Face challenges




Remember to laugh!




Cooperate




Discover
(The great lion huntress....)




Make new friends.




Above all...be ready for adventure!



Stick together




And you will be able to go far




Very far....




Well, not quite that far.....




Always take time to smell the flowers!




Make time for yourself
(Oddly disturbing!)...




Don't forget to relax and enjoy!




And never forget to love those dearest to you!



May God bless you and yours this 2007.
(Updated for the new year)

Animal Truisms

- A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

- An aquarium is just interactive television for cats.

- Buy a dog a toy and it will play with it for ever. Buy a cat a present and it will play with the wrapper for 10 minutes.

- Cat's motto: No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it.

- Although cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.

- Dogs and cats instinctively know the exact moment their owners will wake up. Then they wake them 10 minutes sooner.

- Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

- Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.

- Dogs may shed, but cats shred.

- Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful (for more wonderful dog quotes go to: Great Dog Quotes )

- I had to get rid of my husband. The cat was allergic.

- I hope to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
