Comments: (insert sounds of crickets chirping)
Comments: John, I feel the total silence since your morning post might have something to do with derogatory remarks about redheads.

Comments: I eagerly await the opening of that flower. Thanks to the webcam, it's almost like being there in person -- only better. And Martha thinks SHE needs to get a life!
Comments: Ah, Tondelayo. Could she ever dance! Don't remember the stinking flower, but I was full of Schlitz at the time. And hey, did you guys know that they actually showed movies at the South Loop? Wish I had known at the time.
Comments: Just saw the International Space Station. It was in the northeastern sky at about 10:14-16. Cool. Do I need a life?
Comments: I personally prefer the term "big stinky" to "corpse" when discussing corsages. Maybe it's just me. BTW, rumor around the girls' gym had it that Tondelayo might have had a little too much fun at the South Loop Drive-In. (No wonder she had so many prom invitations.) JS, are you sure Jud won the prom date?
Comments: Lynell is of course referring to the "Corpse Flower" at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It is soon due to bloom for the 2nd time in over 45 years and will smell like rotting flesh. Some of you may recall seeing and smelling this very same flower at our Sr. prom. Jud's date (Tondelayo Breckinridge of Adamson) was wearing it as a corsage, but the flower was much smaller then. Jud had it (the flower, not the date) imported from Sumatra. Here is a link to one of the Houston webcams awaiting the new blossom: http://www.click2houston.com/video/10913036/index.html
Comments: Any So. Texas SOCites in line for the big stinky flower at the science museum?
Comments: Strange Lady, I envy you the weather! We have a blind and deaf 14 year old mini Schnauzer, Westie/Peke combo, a Pug, and an improbable Blue Heeler/Corgi combo. The Schnauzer (Kramer) has to be carried outside, but he gets around fine in the house, and once in the yard. He has his routes memorized. And he still has a healthy appetite. He found us about a month after our other Schnauzer died at 15. All our pets have very distinct personalities and are like family members. The Pug is the boss lady!
Comments: Fire in the fireplace tonight! So wonderful. It is a chilly 60* here in the Rockies. It is supposed to be around 80* tomorrow afternoon........but no humidity! Yea!! My little Westie is 15 years old. She is fragile, but is OK and enjoying this cool weather. My rescue Mix-ling is 1 1/2 years old and full of energy. The two are quite a contrast, but the little Mix-ling is patient with the slower Westie. I sent off Mix-lings DNA to see what she is a mix-ling of.............I think she is schnauzer and something else small.....maybe Shitzu (sp?) or mini poodle....she has great coloring and is very smart. I love those doggy girls!
Comments: Peaches, as you know I'm also a cat woman. We had our carpets cleaned in '08, as always, by supposedly green cleaners. A few days later our precious 13-year-old cat brothers got sick. They had bad liver reports from the vet. Ultimately, they had feeding tubes inserted through their necks, and we fed them through the tubes for months. In the end we lost them both and had broken hearts, and although we will always love them, we got lucky again with two brother cats. Like your house, ours was too quiet, too clean and awfully lonesome for more than a month. We wouldn't want to live in a house without a sweet little animal who adores us for no reason.
Comments: Jud, I truly know how you feel about your kitty. I had Blackberry for 20 years and was not ready to let him go. I spent $500.00 at the emergency room and would have spent more (they thought he might have a brain tumor) until my mother convinced me it was time to let go. I grieved. I had Little Bit for 17 years when she died about 6 months earlier than Blackberry. I was so LONELY without them. I would come home to an empty quiet house. I went about 3-4 weeks and went out on a search....found Sasha (at the age of 1 or so). A month or so later went out on another search for a playmate and found Cinnamon. Now I am happy and not LONELY. We have conversations and they keep me company. Both are 13 years old and I plan on them being with me for a long time. Funny how when I am on the computer Sasha jumps on the chair with me and wants to type. When John, my brother died his cat Sheba became very close to me. I had to put her to sleep at the age of 17 years old and I grieved again. I truly belive that people who have animals are much happier than those who do not. They love us unconditionally. Jud, how do you hve a 3 pound cat? Cinnamon weighs 16 and Sasha weighs about 15 pounds. They are on diet maintenance food. Oops, I did not mean to write this much.
Comments: Thanks to all who post here for keeping this guestbook moving along, and for understanding about the "whole name" rule. I hope Ted rallies and has several more years of Excellent Adventure at the Caldwell house. It's hard for us to see our animal friends get old, even when they have had long and happy lives.
Comments: Ted is recovering nicely. Thanks for asking. Main concern now is his weight, which is just over 3 pounds. But, his appetite is back.
Comments: Sorry Lynelle, old habits die hard....I simply forgot...I love the way you do your volunteer job!
Comments: Not meaning to be inhospitable, but first and last names on all posts, please.
Comments: Jud, I'm so sorry you missed out on the flying squirrels, the rabbits, the crawfish and the chickens and ducks! Your children were deprived! Poor little things!
Comments: Jud, I hope Ted's feeling good today after his rough week.
Comments: No cremated cats. But, for the last 35 years we have always had 4-5 each dogs and cats. And the assorted birds, fish, turtles, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, etc. It's very strange. Our animals have always been long-lived, and invariably when one died, another showed up at our house. I think the word is out in the animal kingdom.
Comments: And I thought Buzz Baron was the greatest cat lover of all time! He definitely ranks somewhere at the top of the leader board! How many cremated cats do you have, Jud, that you are saving for your burial with them? Just curious!
Comments: Good morning, Jud. I understand why you're putting in the extra duty. I grew up with Sammy Cat, a surly green-eyed girl who lived to be 22. She went to the vet one time, other than routine inoculations, when an ant bit her chin. She looked like a furry Jay Leno. I hope Ted gets a good report. It's only money.
Comments: Just for you, Catwoman, I'm toiling away in my office this morning...prepping the market for another good week! Just got our almost 18 year old cat back from vet. Had dental surgery to remove abscessed tooth, teeth cleaned, and several tests to see if Ted has cancer or a thyroid issue. $1200! But, he is worth it!
