Hi everyone! I miss you all and feel guilty that I have'nt been around and then here I am asking for advice. But hey, when you know where the very best expert advice is - you use it, right? :D Anyway, some may remember my 2 dogs: Bear - 12-year-old chow/shepard mix and Murray 5-year-old...

Hi everyone! Sorry I've not been around, been dealing with some grueling family issues! :( But I've missed all my dog loving friends! :) I took Bear and Murray into my work today to get their Christmas haircuts, they do look cute! The last time I took them, they made spectacles of...

I haven't been on in a while. I've been having a lot going on and I'm kind of re-organizing my life, or more specifically myself. But I've missed my friends at Chaz and hope that all is well with all of you!

Oh boy! I like to take them occasionally to get them out socializing (I work in a kennel). Well, I guess its been too long between visits - they were BAD boys. Well very poorly behaved boys anyway. When I first got there, I had to get out to open the gait. Murray wanted to jump out of the car...

I am. My husband is an auto worker here in Michigan. We are talking MAJOR pay cuts, as in half the wages, plus slashing health benefits. How can anyone expect people to have their wages cut in half and still function? We are middle class people who work hard for what we have, pay our taxes, etc...

Well I do, and I'm sure Murray would too. When we adopted Murray approx. 4 months ago and he was sick with heartworms. You all helped me through all the worries of that. Then, when he started feeling better he developed some aggressive behaviors. Friends and family told me I'd have to get rid of...

Thank you for recommending that book. I am enjoying it. It took some looking on my part, it is no longer in circulation. But, my library was able to borrow it from another library. Anyway, I love the way Derek Tanyge writes. He conveys the cat spirit perfectly. Thanks again, I'm really enjoying...

I am really getting upset. Today was the day I was going to go through all my pictures and find some great ones of my beautiful Jake, who I lost a little while ago, to frame. I was blessed to have her for 16 years and I know I took a lot of pics of her, but going through my trunk of pictures - I...

My poor Bear is not doing very well. I've known he has arthritis (he is an 11-year-old chow/shepard mix) and he takes Glucosamine/chondroitin for it. He also was on Prednisone for his chronic bronchitis but I took him off it because he started have urinary and bowel incontinence. He was better...

My son, his girlfriend and their daughter (my granddaughter :) ) have all moved in. I love having my grand daughter here, and of course I enjoy my son and his girlfriend's company but . . Geesh, my house doesn't feel like mine anymore. So much chaos. My husband and I were used to it being just...

I love poetry and am looking always looking for another poet to add to my collection of favorites. My all time favorties are Sara Teasdale and Emily Dickinson. I am pretty selective on poets/poems that I like and its been a while since I've discovered a likeable poet to read up on. So, who are...

Murray loves looking at himself in the mirror! I've caught him doing this several times, I will walk into my bedroom and he will be sitting at the mirror staring at himself. The funny thing is, he looks really pleased with what he sees. He holds his chin up and just stares while wagging his...

After my cat Jake died, leaving me with just one other cat, I was convinced that I did not want another cat. I was just too close to Jake, no one could ever measure up to her and besides I'd like to just have dogs after my other cat passes away. So, WHY did I find myself on petfinder today...

I love him, he has a lot of great qualities. But sometimes he says some of the most awful things. For example: As some of you know, my beloved 16-year-old cat - Jake, died recently. This has devastated me and I still find it difficult to talk about her. Well, last Saturday we had a party and my...

Suddenly both my dogs are itching like mad. I have checked them for fleas and found none. Bear has created a hot spot on his side from chewing at it. Murray kept us awake all night because we could hear him chewing away at himself, he now has a hot spot on the inside part of his leg. Any ideas...

On Oprah today, they went to the states hit by the Katrina. Nate (I think his last name is Ferguson) interviewed these 2 men who were awaiting their turn to board the helicopter to be evacuated. The one man was sobbing because they told him his dog would have to stay behind. This man just kept...

My beautiful Jake left me this morning. She didn't want to go, she wanted to take care of me, but her precious little body just gave out. She was so pretty, a long haired tabby, with gorgeous green eyes. But she was even more beautiful on the inside. She loved me with all her heart. We spent 16...

She is finally here and I know I'm a "first time Grama" and all that but you have to believe me - she really is THE most BEAUTIFUL baby ever born! :D

My beloved cat of 16 years, is going to the vet tomorrow. She suddenly dropped a lot of weight, quit grooming herself and has developed massive matts. She does not look good. I am really hoping it will be something simple, I know the odds are against us considering her age. She has been the best...

I posted in the general chat a couple of days ago that Murray (3 year old collie mix, found as a stray, gotten from shelter 2 months ago) got really aggressive with me, when I scolded him for eating cat's food. Well, today he bit my husband. We were having people over for dinner, and Murray got...
