“O ye who open the way and lay open the paths to perfected souls in the Hall of Osiris, open ye the way and lay open the paths to the soul of Osiris, the beloved feline companion and regal spirit, Wolfgang, who is triumphant with you. May he enter in with a bold heart and may he come forth in peace from the house of Osiris. May he not be rejected, ( Read more... )

YOU BETCHA!

The only thing that could make this day better is an announcement that the girls are getting a CAT instead!

As spotted on the way to get coffee this morning, a trail of signs that looked like this:

Too tired to get very creative tonight, besides the fact that the last episode of FOYLE'S WAR airs tonight and that has me terribly sad.

Anyhow, we did it.  Pete and I closed on a house Friday.  Everyone asks if I am excited but honestly I spent all my emotion when the closing got delayed close to 5 hours.  I was more than a little embittered until ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WOLFGANG SHAKESPEARE REINHARDT ROLLINS SCHWEIGHOFER!

Barring any hard evidence to the contrary, Stacia and I once back-figured Wolfie's birthday to on or around July 7, 1990.  Yes, folks, that makes my boy 18 years old today.  I want to say that the past 18 years, as of September 7, 1990 (when Stacia and I adopted him form Angel ( Read more... )

I have little, little shame today.  Why should I?  Maybe the improbable January rainbow I saw yesterday has emboldened me.
So, on a heavy note I have to say I hate seeing the party of my choice eat it's own.  ENOUGH ALREADY.  I am all for Dennis K., and I am sick to death of the media ignoring him.  I speak to my friends and my family when I say ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in far too long and this won't be a long post.  I'm on the mend, like Brunhilde, and back at work.

Very funny story- when I came too in recovery the nurse asked how I felt and I said "I FEEL SO BAD FOR MY BUNNY!"
The nurse was very kind and asked "You feel bad for your bunny?".
I nodded slowly and said "I gave her a hysterectomy and ( Read more... )

Hurrah!  Brunhilde is on the mend.  She was good over the weekend, then suspect, then good again.  The first good sign was when I was paying extra attention to Wolseley, picking hay off his head, and Brunhilde began throwing her toys about and poking her head out her door.  That is her traditional call for attention.
She stopped eating again on ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the good thoughts.  Brunhilde ate a few bits of carrot and the rest of the dandelion leaves between lunch and 4 yesterday.  I didn't take her to the vet as she really, really fought being handled and I didn't want to open her incision by making her fight me.  She was drinking more water, so I called the vet and went without Brunhilde ( Read more... )

Keep it coming!

I just checked Brunhilde at lunch.  She is LOUDLY grinding her teeth, a sure sign of pain.  I got her to drink some water and eat a papaya tablet.  She also at one solitary dandelion leaf.  She was so annoyed with me trying to feed her that she walked to the opposite corner of the cage.  Walked like a pained old woman, not hopped.  I ( Read more... )
