TL; DR -- BUT FOR A GOOD CAUSE!
As nearly everyone on my f-list knows, my grandfather is suffering from Fronto-Temporal Dementia, and is currently in Stage Four of that disease. My mother is my grandfather's caretaker, and during the course of his illness has become good friends with a woman who runs Senior Care of Brevard -- it's not a nursing home, but rather a facility that ( Read more... ) -
longest day ever
We has kitty. Her name is Lady Avalon of Scrambles, AKA "Avvie."
She has tried sharpening her claws on the walls twice already. This is not good. Anyone with tips on how to redirect her to the fifty different scratch-friendly thingies around the house, I would appreciate it. (I have a water bottle and I'm not afraid to use it.) She's also Very ( Read more... ) -

With the event only two months away, she needs a lot of ( Read more... ) -

life at the zoo
Dear Kisa:
I get you are Miz Neurotic Spazzycat 2010, but seriously. Repeat after me:
THE ARM. IS NOT. A SPRINGBOARD.
Someday you will figure out that the complex chain of events that starts with your claws embedding in my skin (SURPRAIZ BLOODSHED!), then leading me to let out a rather loud "OW", and then leads to Darwin Enforcer-Britches getting all ( Read more... ) -
OH WHAT THE HELL, BODY.
Oh, balls.
I am NOT getting early migraine hints twenty minutes before the cable guy is set to arrive.
THIS IS NOT ON, BODY. DO YOU HEAR ME? I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT ON.
Dammit.
