Guinevere
Location: Layton, Utah, USA
Guinevere, or Little Guin as we call her, joined our family two months ago. We got her from a local shelter. This picture was taken her first night home. She was four months old, had ear mites and a respiratory infection. She’s crying because she wants me to hold her instead of taking the picture. She’s very happy and healthy now and has two adopted brothers to keep her company.
Lucky Little Guin to have such a nice family!
It’s after 4pm - no comments - ????!
I think it’s because the UK is on British Summer Time as of yesterday…had me wondering, too.
Cuddles to Little Guin!
You just educated me, as to why the time the tdk comes does not match EDT.

For the beer lovers out there-
** 32 things you can do with beer**
http://men.msn.com/articlemh.aspx?cp-documentid=3872767&page=1
MMMMMMMMMMMMM…..BEER *Homer Simpson voice*
Yum! That Barbeque recipe looks good!
That chicken recipe sounds good, and with the rice it makes for a great bar-b-que. You’re all invited!
My beer bread recipe is much easier, and is delicious. Make only as much as you can eat in one sitting, though, because it does not keep well.
4 cups Bisquick ( I find the “regular” works better than the “light” version)
3 Tablespoons sugar or Splenda
12 oz. beer (I prefer dark beer for this recipe. Shiner Bock is best).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients, and stir until completely moist. Allow to rise for 10 minutes. During this time, grease either a loaf pan or (even better) a muffin tin. After rising, put batter into prepared pan (note: batter will be sticky!)
Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes (muffins) or 1 hr. (loaf). Enjoy hot with butter and your favorite jelly.
I don’t have an oven! *cries and pounds desk*
Warm beer or cold beer?
Room temperature–thanks for the question! The dough won’t rise if the beer is cold, and I forgot to mention that small but important detail.
I have a kegorator full of Killians will that do?
Ginny in Cat Spring,
I do not know if you are the one that was emailing people all the recipes that accumulated on the tdk. I am interested in those recipes, but I lost the email of the person who was handling this. (too much school and work) Anyway, my email is thrdinlineATyahooDOTcom, if you are the one please email me the recipes or let me know who is doing this. Thank you for any help.
Hi Jersey Jennifer,
The cookbook you want is by MerD in CO. If you want the cookbook, email her at : TDKcookbook AT gmail dot com
Replace the AT with @ and the word dot with a period. Hope this helps.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have too much to do lately, and I would lose my head if it wasn’t attached.
Don’t forget the beer brats (as in Johnson’s sausages, not the neighbors kids)
The neighbor’s kids would be better if viewed through beer
AMEN TO THAT
My neighbors don’t have kids - yay!! While it is totally illegal to have an ‘adult only’ apartment complex, the way my complex does it is people with kids on one side of the complex, people without kids on the other side.
neighbor kids rule!!!!
As long as they do their ruling away from me.
And yes I was a kid once. A well behaved, terrified that I’d get a ‘whupping’ if I didn’t do what my parents told me to do.
I don’t see very many kids like that anymore. Most of the kids I see are rude, selfish, disrespectful and destructive.
And no, I don’t have any children. If I did, CPS would be after me.
If you remember you WERE a kid once even if it was in the stone ages
Abbie-You are right. We were once kids too. Actually I am two years older than dirt.
I have some wonderful neighborhood kids. I’m referring to the obnoxious, out-of-control, rude, disrespectful, wild banshee kids whose parents don’t take care of, watch over and/or don’t give a hoot about.
Obviously you are NOT one of those kids. Actually it would be nice to have more wonderful caring people like you in the world.
Us old folks are just joking around.
(well done)
what a cutei its adoorible i whant it
I’ve made the bbq sauce with it and washed my hair with it. With it being such a tasty drink who knew it had so many other uses?
Beer: Helping white folks dance since 426 B.C.
ROTFLMAO!!
I’m right next to you LOL
Too hilarious!!

god bless the cats
that’s growlingif you need help in spelling look it up in the dictionary on you web site references column ,if you don’t have one check you add items to you page site.
Thanks Instinct. I know a few male memebrs of my family who will get a kick out of it, and probably try a few. Hopefully no bathing though.
What a lucky kitty now that she has someone to love her and hold her. She’s very cute.
For those who could use and additional cat fix, the CFA International Cat Championship will be on the Game Show Network on Sunday at 7 pm. I hope they show the pet section, where the non-pedigreed house cats get to compete.
Mommy! I wanna hug!!!
Oh what a sweet little girl! She is smiling because she wants me to take her home you know. I am happy to oblige. Scoop her up, kisses and cuddles and into MY backpack she goes. I will bring her back for sharing later. My kids are anxious to play with her.
I’m next to play! Look at that face! Who could resist a little mew plead to be picked up and held and loved and wuzzled? Not me!
Oh, precious sweet little angel girl! I can’t say enough about her. I would give her kisses and hugs all the time. She reminds me so much of my Trixie.
My lap is open, she can sit on it all she wants. What a sweetie pie!
Oh Sweet Guinevere
Cuddles coming very soon
If only you were here
I would snuggle you past noon
Isn’t there a song called Guinevere by Crosby Stills & Nash? It was a pretty tune but I don’t remember the lyrics…
Guinnevere had green eyes
Like yours, mi’lady, like yours
When she’d walk down through the garden
In the morning after it rained
Peacocks wandered aimlessly
Underneath an orange tree
Why can’t she see me?
Guinnevere drew pentagrams
Like yours, mi’lady, like yours
Late at night when she thought
That no one was watching at all
On the wall
Do, do, do …
She shall be free
As she turns her gaze
Down the slope to the harbor where I lay
Anchored for a day
Guinnevere had golden hair
Like yours, mi’lady, like yours
Streaming out when we’d ride
Through the warm wind down by the bay
Yesterday
Seagulls circle endlessly
I sing in silent harmony
We shall be free
Thank you Susan. Now I remember the tune!

Or Christopher Walken….
a BIG mean cat!!
Catzilla!
AAAUUUGGGHHH! Cute overload! I want to just cuddle her and make it all better……
She’s so cute - I wanna pick her up and hug her!
Kinda sad today, folks. A co-worker and friend has to say goodbye to her fuzzbut today. She’s about 14 and has a large tumor in her lung. Her mommy was able to take her home yesterday to spend one final day with her. A little prayer for Tatoo and her mommy Stephanie would be appreciated >^..^
That is such sad news! Little Tatoo was surely blessed to have a long life and a wonderful Mommy! Glad they got some extra time together and I’ll be sending Stephanie and her baby some strength and love!
Poor sweet Tattoo. Much love and thoughts to mommy and kitty.
My heart goes out to your co-worker. Strength and love to her…
They are both in my thoughts and prayers, and I know my Chica is waiting and ready to play with Tatoo.
Oh, that is just SO very sad…..
I am SO sorry. Hugs to Tatoo and Mommy Stephanie today!! Loving and comforting thoughts to you too. My heart is heavy for you…
Hugs and condolences to Tattoo’s Mommy!
Tattoo will find many friends to play with over the rainbow bridge. My Claudua abd Madison will take care of her!
Awwww, I hurt for them! I had a horrible weekend too, so I’ll add Tatoo and herr mama to my prayers. I had to put my horse to sleep Saturday night. It was totally unexpected. I raised him, he was only 8 and thus I expected him to be with me at least another 20 years or so. I’m home today ‘cuz I’m a mess not appropiate for the office! Ah the brief and delicate lives of our animal friends!
strength and love to you as well Renee.
Prayers of comfort to you Renee.
Just awful—so sorry, Renee. I guess that’s the only drawback to loving any living being. You’ve probably seen this site–a virtual “memorial home” for your pet…
http://www.rainbowsbridge.com/hello.htm
Hi Dee,
Thanks for the link, I have seen everyone talking about the Rainbow Bridge but have never until today known where the site was….I have to say that it made me all weepy…and I hope that I have years and years until I have to put either of our furfaces on there….
Sympathies to Renee and Joan’s co-worker
So sorry Renee, that must have been very hard for you. How true, their lives quite delicate and oh so shor. Isn’t it amazing how they make a place in our hearts and snuggle in forever. We find ourselves smiling over things that happened so long ago…
Ohhh Renee…a huge hug and condolences on the loss of your horse. At least it had 8 wonderful years with you. Whiskers and the other kitties will welcome him at the Rainbow Bridge.
Thanks y’all. I had a dream last night that he was running around with his tail in the air and his head high and he was stopping here and there to eat everything in sight. I have read that if you dream of your lost animal in a happy state shortly after their passing, that this means they have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, are happy and are trying to let you now this through your dream. God, I sure hope so.
I’m sure this is a great sign, Renee. That was his way of letting you know that he’s happy and he loves you. You gave him a wonderful life and he has nothing but great memories of you and the care you gave him. So sorry for your loss, but I’m happy to hear you have a guardian angel up there watching out for you!
Can’t you just picture your horse giving rides to kitties and dogs on his back trotting in the sun filled meadows next to the Rainbow Bridge.
I wish you were here in Ga. A family is giving away a showhorse that is a family pet but only to someone who is already set up to care for a horse. They are carefully screening and refusing to sell. Mind if we asked what happened to your baby? We all share your tears.
Tattoo’s mommy has our sympathy as well.
Not 100% certain. He did colic, but the final reason he couldn’t pull out of it….not sure. Either an ulcer that perforated (however he never showed any signs of having an ulcer) or he had twisted his intestines from rolling before feeding time when we noticed his discomfort. I never saw him roll, but he could have before we saw him that morning.
I am so sorry Renee.. prayers of comfort to you….
Oh Renee, so sorry! That’s always so sad. I send wholehearted sympathies out to you! Hope that knowing you have the support of the TDK community lessens some of the pain.
Tatoo is so lucky to have a mom that cares so much, good thoughts and energy to Stephanie and Tatoo. No more pain baby. I used to work for a vet that would wisper into the pet’s ear if he had to put one down. He would say, “Tell Pepermint hello for me.” Pepermint was his cat that passed on many years before. It always made me cry to hear him. They are in our hearts forever young.
I know from experience how horrible that situation is. Although it’s been 4+ years that I had my beloved Spanky put to sleep, I still cherish the ‘last night’ we had together. As weak as he was, he purred as I told him all night that no one else could’ve loved him like me. Although I still cry when I think of him, I can honestly say that I was really blessed to have that last night together–some people don’t get the chance to say the things to loved ones that they want before it’s too late. My condolences to Stephanie and I know Tattoo and Spanky are no longer suffering.
That is so sweet FondaHonda that your kitty could still purr on his last night with you. My Whiskers was too weak to do anything but in her last moments reach and try to hold my hand with her two paws. It has been two years for me and I still miss her from time to time.
Non-animal lovers would probably think I’m crazy, but I told Spanky (who was in the last phase of kidney failure) that he would have to show me some sign when he was ‘ready to go’ because I was afraid that I’d be selfish and keep him around and not know that he was suffering. One night, he laid down on the bathroom floor facing the corner. He had not done this in 16+ years. I still think that it was his way of letting me know that he was too weak to come into the living room with me and that he didn’t want to suffer anymore. Not only did he purr all night, he also purred in the vet’s office as I held him. He was definitely ready to go (although I wasn’t). I still think of Spanky every morning when I blow-dry my hair because he used to come running into the bathroom everytime he heard the dryer, get on his back, and roll around while I blow-dried his fur. I used to cry when I thought of that, now it brings a smile to my face thinking of all of his weird idiosyncrasies (he loved toothpaste and licking Carmex off my lips).
Purrayers of comfort to your coworker.
Prayers and hugs - I hope your friend has other cats so that they may comfort each other!
Tatoo was an only kitty. Her mommy asked me to give Shaddo and Jiggs an extra hug today…
So very sorry… Hugs to Tattoo’s mom.
Praying for you. :’(
A prayer and a big hug for Tatoo and her Mommy. That is too bad that the tumor is too large to operate on. I wish them well. Hugs and purrs.
Prayers for Tattoo
I haven’t been able to post as I used to, due to the demands of work. Today my heart is filled with sadness for all of you who have lost your dear animal companions in the last few days. Because there is so many more of us, this seems to becoming the norm lately. So, from my heart, my sympathies to those who have lost a dear one, my prayers for those who have a sick one, and my smiles for those of us who still have our babies to love at least one more day. Don’t forget those who are in pain, encourage them with faith and love day by day. Respond to those who make us laugh in times of trial (HM, Dee, Intinct, Rosie, Susan, et al) and Ivory Bill who puts the gift of words to such great use. And all the others, who if I didn’t remember your name, I remember your words. We are all one family who share everything we are comfortable sharing. At times the pain from another friend brings us to tears. That is because we care. In our minds eye, we see and recognize each other by our names here. Don’t think for one moment you can’t post how you’re feeling or if you need help with a situation. We all will help in the way we feel we can. I wish you all peace, sleep, comfort and love. Til I get back here again, stay well my friends and know that I am looking out for you and wishing you all the best.
Guinevere… you are darling!! I can just hear that tiny little mew…
I’m bettin’ that no sound came out of that precious little girl’s mouth–looks to me like a ’silent meow’
Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace.
The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase,
Sparkles on fingers, slender and pale.
-Donovan
Such a beautiful regal kitty!
I thought of this song too! It was always one of my favorites. (I always liked Donovan’s less-than top 40 songs better than the “Sunshine Superman” variety. He had an album with songs “For Little Ones” like “Isle of Islay” and “”Widow With Shawl: A Portrait” and I played that over, and over, and over. . .The sixties were rough. School was nothing but anxiety. Think the Beatles and Donovan kept me sane!
I love Donovan. Admittedly I only own his greatest hits anthology, but when I was little (around 4 or 5) my older sister (by 16 years) was living with a drummer who used to sing Jennifer Juniper to me all the time.
So yeah, after seeing this lovely kitten, I’ve been listening to Donovan all day at work.
Little Guin is such a beautiful girl, and a talker it would seem! I realized this weekend that I’m a sucker for the tabbies!
*The MEW-sings of Lady Guinevere* Fuzz!!
Clever girl Amy Lou
Good Morning everyone!!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!! I am off work today so I can join in TDK.
Great to see you, Bumblebee!
Thanks Amy! I miss being on here during the day when I work. It is usually too late to comment by the time I get on. I was spoiled being off for a month with my back, and joining in each day!
Hey girlfriend, glad to see you posting again! Hope the job is going ok and the back is better! I’ve been posting late too, when I can, so hope you see this, my Pa buddy! hang in there and good to see you again. Think we are over the snow???
Oh my ! What a beautiful ‘lil tiger girl! Like Amy Lou, I am a sucker for the tiger kitties! Guin looks like my ‘lil Tina-toot! I think Guin might be demanding a snack if she’s anything like Tina!
AWWWWWWW!!!! I can just HEAR her little crying voice in my head just by looking at her picture! What a little love! Sweet baby!
