Mrs. Noah was speaking with a fellow who’s wife has a phobia about cats. She apparently sees ALL cats as a threat to her personal safety and enjoyment of life. He (her husband) stated that no cat is a friendly cat and that they are only self-serving and totally aloof, only giving you the time […]
Ya gotta love cats. They spend hours and hours every day sleeping or, as they like to say, cat napping. And still, they are mentally sharp. I suspect they are not really sleeping at all but are actually scheming and planning out their next way to keep their care givers on their toes. Just […]
Yes, we know that the Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving on October 12 because in most areas of Canada, by the time the American celebration comes around, we are typically under lots of snow. There is usually definitely more than just frost on the pumpkins where we live. In fact, the pumpkins are all gone! So […]

You just never know what talents and major discoveries are lurking in the background, just waiting to be exposed. For instance, the world’s greatest artists did not just suddenly have people […]

Just like […]
As many of you already know, Gracie and I were formally adopted into this family in the fall of 2008. The vet figured Gracie was about 14 years old and I was about eight years old. Because of our past, it has taken much of this past year for me, in particular, to get used […]
Probably one of the most aggravating things we hear is, “If you have cats or dogs, your house ALWAYS stinks!” Talk about stereotyping a visible minority. Sheeash!! There outta be a law against such slander. Odours (if you are Canadian), or odors (if you are American), come from far more than your pets. Just smell […]

Comments Off on Happy Thanksgiving Canada! Happy Columbus Day United States! | Category: General chatter | Just over one year ago Princess and I (Gracie) came to live here in a small town, having moved from a country home where our caregiver, Tom, died in the spring of 2008.
