Everyone on TDK a new chemical contaminent has been found in pet food, and in urine of sick cats. It is Melamine, use in the manufacture of plastic. This chemical has been at at least one plant manufacturing dry food. Check the news.
OK……have looked high and low. Where on the news did you see this??? This poison in our furry butts food is starting to get me worried and pretty mad!
OOOOOOOPS….found it. grrrr
Sweet little kitty is saying “Mommy pick me up pleeeeese”
What a sweetheart!
Good morning everyone,
HAPPY Friday!!
Happy Friday to you too…. YEAH for the weekend!!!!
Weeee….
Hi Bumblebee! Glad you’re back.
Hi Marsha,
Hey thanks!! I miss you guys when I am at work…
Awwww she is so sweet, how adorable!!
You are so right! She has the most precious expression on her face! Cute overload, yet again.
just one more morsel, please please please…….
Ballet kitty!
whats up with the name giselle she looks like a Mally or Haether
Come on Giselle, into HM’s backpack, Huddy’s Mama needs me to carry it for her, you know her neck and everything. She has lined it with a little nip and something soft to cuddle on…….
Here, Tinafish. I bought HM a backpack on wheels with a retractable handle and a removable pouch for the ‘nip. Put Giselle in there with my compliments!
Ginny, You are the giving friend. HM must still be sleeping, we’ll surprise her with the new rolling backpack!
And this is why I love this site. Even though she is not first HM’s bud are looking out for her. I’ll add a couple of nibbles of feta since Giselle is a greek kitty. (reaches in feeds Giselle some feta, gives her oh so soft head a gentle stroking and sends her on her way with HM)
better add some morsels of lamb with the feta, my cats are all “greek” cats, love the feta, lamb, kalimari.
“You no eat meat?”
“You no eat meat?”
“You no eat meat?”
“S’okay, I cook lamb.”
You guys are SO sweet. I LOVE the rolling backpack. It’s the neatest present I’ve received in QUITE some time.
Let’s all hang out and have some mimosas while we watch over and cuddle with the beauteous Giselle.
Mmmmm…. mimosas……
Wait, I have the multicolored paper umbrellas, Here!
I could use it! Things have been crazy here with me having to do 2 jobs at once while the ESL’s are being tested and the Language Arts kids are finishing a term project. One more week and both those tasks are done. Meanwhile, my brain is spinning, and I can’t get off! Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h!
Since I already have the feta, I will make feta theologous (Baked feta with garlic, oregano, lemon and olive oil) to go with the mimosas.
OOH! Here come the incredibly muscular, tanned cabana boys with those Mimosas! Hey You! Over here!
Mimosas are yummy but how about some margaritas? Make mine on the rocks please and some guacamole and chips please or a nice steak fajita…okay I am hungry now.
ppearson please give us the whole recipe for the baked feta. I love feta I put it in most salad even pasta shrimp salad.
Mimosassssssssssss great….we tried the champagne for a party drink, but cause it makes us sleepy, we add a citrus RIPIT (99cents energy drink from walmart) to the champage and we call it our CHAM-RIP. It is great !! (GrammyPammy passing out samples……)
Mimosas - yum! Most champagne with a touch of oj for color…
awww “no IIII love you more ” FUZZ!!
*takes kitty into the (kitty for baby ) bag , and returns in few minutes* i love this kitty
Awwwwww. How cute. The curly fur under her chin looks so extremely soft - I just want to cuddle her!
What a doll!
A~
She’s a beauty!
Ooh, Giselle, you are one cute little fluffball! You have fun playing with HM and Tinafish. It’s a beautiful day here in Jersey; I’m taking a half day. Gonna go and be with my fuzzbuts, YAY! Happy Friday everyone and have a great weekend.
What an adorable face! Love me, feed me, play with me, I have eyes ONLY FOR YOU Mommy! (I’m melting with kitty luv)
Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright
cause I only have eyes for you.
That is such a beautiful song. It was my mom and dad’s song, and even though my father has been gone for 40 years, my mother still cries every time she hears it.
Awwww Dee, that is so sweet and very sad too. Bless your Mom….
Dee, my parents song was Mack the Knife boy could they cut a rug dancing to that. I still get misty when I hear Bobby Darin singing it. My dad has been gone 36 years and my mama 10 years I still miss her terribly.
Mom and Dad loved to dance and won many a contest. Their favorite song was The Tennessee Waltz. I can still remember standing on dad’s shoes waltzing with him. He died in 1976 and mom left me in 1989. I Really miss them, especially my best friend mom. I liked being someone’s little girl.
Sorry off topic. Ginny are you a teacher? Where at speficly? I am currnetly subbing but hope to get a full-time postition for Aug.
I teach Lang. Arts and ESL at a junior high in TX. I started out subbing until I got my alternative certification. It’s a good way to find out what age range you really want to teach. It’s not too early to look for positions for next year, but the bulk of the available positions here aren’t known until around May-June. It is not unusual for many positions to not become available until July due to unexpected openings (spousal transfer, “a better offer,” etc.).
Google-search the daylights out of area districts and their parent organizations. Also look into state BOE websites. Check out their links. I wish you well!
I’m getting diabetes for sure looking at this sweetie !!!
Giselle, you are so precious. I’m sure she is loved very much, because her eyes show she is trusting and adoring the human behind the camera. A real sweety.
Hello Elene!!!
Good Morning and happy TGIF. Do you work today? How are you making out? Are you full time yet? When I first became a lurker you were posting throughout the day and now that you are back to work I miss your comments. As nice as it is to be home everday, I know it is much better when the bills can get paid too.
Hello Elene,
So sweet of you to say you miss my posts. Awwww….
I am off today. It is a warm, beautiful sunny day out too! I got 35 hours next week so I am very happy! Depending on my availability, I can get up to 38-39 hours on accasion. I am happy with 35 though.
Yes, it is VERY nice to have money to pay my bills…. I became way… behind being out so long.
My back is pretty good. One day it didn’t hurt at all, but when I’m at the register a long time, my right side back bothers me a lot.
I really miss being on here during the day too. I am at work, wishing I was visiting with my TDK friends. I think of you all throughout the day!!
The little ball of fluff is giving you the “I love you” look.
She’s a perfect little doll! Just beautiful.
What a beautiful baby! Watch those mats…..they’re a killer for the kitty.
any one whach grease your the one I whant?
Greek Goddess Fuzz!!! So precious. I bet she gets away with everything naughty. That’s the look they get when they say, “I Wuv you, Mommy… I didn’t mean to do it! Will you snuggle me now???” *Turn on pouty eyes*
Calvin: … So could I, Mom? Please? ..Pleeeaase?
Hobbes: I still don’t think giving her ‘Bambi Eyes’ is going to get you a flamethrower.
Calvin: Maybe I should sniffle a little too, huh?
what?
Not a Calvin and Hobbes fan? That’s o.k. I wanted a link with the illustrations, too, but couldn’t find it and had to settle for the dialogue only.
Calvin is a precocious and obnoxious 6-year-old with a penchant for destruction. His best friend is his stuffed tiger, Hobbes, who only comes to life for Calvin. Hobbes is the voice of reason for the pair. It was a classic comic strip that ran from the mid-80’s to the mid 90’s. I still miss it terribly.
Oh Ginny I love, love, love Calvin and Hobbes. I went out and bought all their books. I do miss the comic strip it was absolutely the funniest thing out there!
I got it, Ginny. I’m a huge C&H fan as well. To this day, I find them “guffaw out loud” funny.
what was that
SHE IS JUST ADORABLE!!
A beautiful baby…
Opa fuzzbutt! I loved the little face. They always look like they went face first into a wall. My mama had a little Irish pug nose I always told her she looked like a red headed Persian kitty.
bummer morning !! Had to send my 15 yr baby Yathzee over the rainbow bridge. Had cancer. Could not stand to suffer all weekend with him. RIP Yathzee
*HUGS*
I have been in your shoes 3 times in my life… hang in there.
Chris, I’m so sorry. Yathzee is cancer-free now and playing with many new friends at the Rainbow Bridge. May he live on in your heart and memory until you are one day reunited with him.
So sorry for your loss, may your memories be long and your grief short.
Hugs and prayers of comfort to you, Chris…. I am so sorry.
You did the right thing to end his pain. I’m sending you lots of hugs and warm thoughts.
15 years! you gave him a wonderful life…he was so lucky to have had you.
Thoughts and prayers sent your way Chris. It is not easy losing such a beloved friend!
I am sorry for your loss Chris. May you find comfort in the fact that your furry buddy is without pain now. I am sure he is with the other kitties checking out the catnip and best place to play with butterflies. You will see him again when it is time. Hugs and purrs.
Purrs of comfort to you Chris.
That was so kind of you and so hard, too. All our thoughts are with you.
I feel your pain. Hugs and purrs to you!
Chris,
I am SO very sorry for your loss of sweet Yathzee. My heart breaks for you….
I’m so sorry you’ve lost your Yathzee. Hugs to you.
Awwwww, Chris, so sorry to hear about Yathzee. I’ll be thinking of you!
A sad day for you, Kittycat Dog, Squeaky and Freckles. So sorry for the loss of your much loved Yathzee. Get everybody together on and near your lap and hug, hug, hug while the tears flow.
I’m so sorry about your Yathzee, it is so hard to let them go but you absolutely did the right thing for him. Positive thoughts, prayers and head bonks are headed your way.
When my Fibs died I wrote the following. It has been three years now, and it still brings tears to my eyes when I talk about him. But eventually there will come a day in your future when you can think about Yatzee and laugh.
Heart broken and missing you, I drag my sorrow like a weight.
The space you occupied in my life is a gaping hole around me.
Invisible, emotionless the hole sits on my feet and begs for attention.
Emptiness follows me.
Tears pile up behind my eyes, sometimes they fall forward.
They cling to my lashes, heavy hot holding on like my grief.
Sometimes they spill back, a flowing grief that drips across my heart.
Emptiness fills me.
I held you in my hand and caressed you to your first breath.
Thin golden thread held you to this world, I was tangled there.
You embroidered a pattern to my days, it was beautiful, and I want more.
Emptiness covers me.
I held you in my arms and loved you to your last breath.
Golden thread broken, unraveling twine tethered to emptiness.
You waited for me, the circle was complete, I still miss you.
Beautiful, Rosie! And it really captures the feeling of losing our dearest furry friends.
Beautifully spoken, Rosie. My sympathy and prayers are with you, Chris, in the loss of your beloved Yathzee.
Hello Lynn, my PA. buddy!
How are you??
I am doing great today. I have the day off.
Rosie,
That is one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read and sums up so eloquently what it is like to lose a furbaby. I had Clueless from first breath to last too and your words so completely express what my heart felt that day. It took three kits to replace her. I hope that today, she and Fibs are laying in a sunbeam together with Yahtzee at their sides.
Ok, gotta grab a tissue, the mascara is smearing.
ppearson inky, just wondering where in KY you are…I am from the BG area and have been away from there for yrs, but moving back in couple months. I drove the shuttle for WKU there.
if you know me email me a cshellchick at yahoo
Rosie–that was just beautiful. You have me crying over here.
You made my eyes well up and spill over. My 2 old ladies will celebrate 19 each years this year….and I dread the day when either of them leave me. I’ll need your poem then…it is beautiful and says everything a true lover of cats feels. Thank you….keep on writing…you have a talent.
My deepest sympathies! Somehow, with these pets of ours, 15 seems a very small number. I’m sure you gave a wonderful and pampered time, and you will miss him sorely. Prayers to you-
oh, Chris. ::::hugs:::: what a heartache. I’m sending good thoughts your way….
Shedding a tear for you, Chris, but I know you have done the right thing and Yahtzee is no longer suffering. Give all the other fuzzbutts an extra snorgle this weekend and take comfort in their love.
So sorry for you and your lost baby. Just know that he’s no longer suffering and he’s thankful to have been able to share his wonderful long life with such a caring family! He’s at his catnip welcome feast now, livin it up and watching over you!
thanks everyone !!! Its really going to be hard going home later with no Yathzee around :(. My youngest cat was going nuts this morning when I put Yathzee in the cat carrier. She has been mothering him all week long. It weird when you put the cat in the carrier without a fight. I have a scar on my arm from him when he was young and frisky trying to put him in the carrier. Now i look at that scar like its a keepsake. Oh well-suck to be me. RIP Yathzee
………….bringing back my tears from when i fell to my knees and dug in the dirt to bury my HALEY 3 yrs ago…………..
I’m sorry you lost your baby. I’ll say prayers for you. I’m always at a loss for words at times like these.
So very sorry, Chris. That was a beautifully unselfish act. Your baby lived a good life with a good mom.
I’m so sorry for your loss Chris. You gave Yathzee and long and wonderful life. Prayers for you and your family.
Chris,
So sorry for the loss of your dear Yathzee. Hugs are being sent your way.
Any guesses as to what my weekend will be like (provided it doesn’t rain)?
http://www.ktrh.com/pages/ontheroad.html
Have tons of fun this weekend! Those blubonnets are gorgeous!
Lucky you. It must be like heaven to take in all that glorious beauty. Breathtaking!!!!! Prayers for Texas sunshine this weekend.
I used to work in Dallas and I loved it when the bluebonnets came out. There are some great fields on the way to the airport!
Lovely!
I would like to ask y’all to keep Texans in your prayers. It has been raining a lot off and on since yesterday, and my part of the state, North Central Texas, is experiencing flooding. With more rain in the forecast for Saturday.
Waah! It’s been mostly-cloudy to overcast for the past three days, but nothing more than “spitting rain.” Sounds like I’m gonna be in for it, unless the rain stays north of me. Waco’s about the same longitude as where I am, but a couple of hours north.
I got this in my email box this morining- Just a FYI
The recent pet food recall by Menu Foods has been all over the news. We thought you’d appreciate hearing the latest information about this serious and sometimes confusing situation.
First, we’d like to reassure you that the recent nationwide pet food recall does not include any Mars Petcare US pet food products. All of our brands, including PEDIGREE® food for dogs, CESAR® canine cuisine, THE GOODLIFE RECIPE™ food for dogs and cats, WHISKAS® and SHEBA® food for cats, and TEMPTATIONS® cat treats, are safe for pets to enjoy.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now focusing its investigation on wheat gluten as the possible source of contamination that sparked the national recall of cans and pouches of pet food last week.
On March 23, the FDA confirmed the safety of products not involved in the recall. According to the FDA, pet owners should feel confident feeding their pets products not affected by the recall.
What’s more, we at Mars Petcare US have verified that wheat gluten is not sourced from any of the suppliers who are currently under investigation by the FDA.
The safety and nutritional quality of our pet food is our top priority because for many people, their pets are their top priorities.
For details on the recall, contact Menu Foods at 1-866-895-2708, 1-866-463-6738 or visit the company’s web site at: http://www.menufoods.com/recall.
Yours truly,
Mars Petcare US
I received this e-mail this morning. Such a confusing issue. We do have to stay informed on all data even though so much seems to be conflicting
