    Merry Christmas, ladies

    Just thought I'd say that now, since everyone will be with friends and family tomorrow. So whatever you're all celebrating, have a wonderful time

    I hope the dogs don't think of it as equivalent to a lump of coal.

    Yay! We've been thinking about heading to the shelter, but decided to wait a little longer. I'm glad another cat has a home for Christmas!

    She's an Accidental cat, sequstered in the big front room right now until her paw heals up. Poor Kitty is getting around on three paws for now. Took her for xrays yesterday, luckily nothing is broken, possibly some sort of absess. She's on antibiotics right now.

    The last tenants from upstairs left her here when they moved.
    Just left her . I had been keeping her outside but feeding her.I noticed her limp about the same time it got really cold so i brought her in. i didn't realize it but upon her exam yesterday discovered she is declawed
    No more outside life for her.

    What's wrong with people?! I can understand not being able to find an apartment that accepts cats, but then you find it a home, or bring it to a shelter. You don't just leave it!

    You're an angel. How are the dogs handling it?

    That sounds really good to me. But be careful about ordering duck

    They've pretty much calmed down. I go in and visit with her.
    She has a nice heated bed, TV and stereo.
    i don't think she can work the remote though.

    I tried to talk my sister into going Chinese, ordering duck and seeing if the staff would treat us to a chorus of "Deck the Halls" but she said she didn't want to be served a duck that was smiling at her.

    Merry Christmas

    Santa got here a little early so we opened our presents late yesterday. After breakfast we'll prep the food stuff for dinner at my moms and head up to celebrate with her.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

    Merry Christmas!

    We hosted a few of the neighbors last night (this started three years ago with us serendipitously winding up at our next-door neighbors on Christmas Eve, and it's gradually accreting more and more of the neighbors). We wound up with so much leftovers that I am seriously not motivated to cook our usual quiet Christmas dinner for DH and myself.

    Maybe I'll feel more energetic after a run.

    Zen, thanks for taking in the kitty. That's basically the same way ex-H and I wound up with our Measle (spotted dog ) years ago. He just showed up in the neighborhood several days before Christmas, about four months old and obviously abandoned (way too clean and well fed to be feral, no response to ads we posted, and he was TERRIFIED of leashes and cars for about his first year with us, poor thing). "If that puppy is still hanging around on Christmas Day..." He was with us for 13 more years, and now he's a Christmas angel.

    Zen, you're an angel. I don't know what's wrong with people. She's got a good home and will be a great companion, the dogs will get use to her. Our motto - 'there's always room for one more' - thats why we have 7 cats and 2 dogs. Happy holidays

    Merry Christmas all!

    We spent last night with family, exchanged gifts, and ate (latkes and brisket). My kids head out of town today with my ex to visit their relatives in Western NY.

    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
