Meow?

Hi persons! I haven't been on in so long... The stress is great here. My husband might be deploying on Saturday, and he isn't ready, and I don't think I'm quite ready for him to go yet. I knew he was going to have to, but I was hoping his unit would work with him because of his shoulder being messed up (can't lift more than 20 lbs), and he wants to be here for when the baby is born. But so far they have fought him at every turn. He's not packed yet, he's still got stuff that needs to be done, it… Continue

I've decided to put my slightly overweight cat on a diet. I figure to start, instead of having food down all day, he'll get fed three to four times a day until I can decide whether it's his food or the frequency he eats that is making him gain weight.

It takes a part of their toes away, and leaves them probably feeling terribly useless. I look at Phantom when he swats bugs and things and I feel bad. If I had a ch… Continue

Hi. I'm new here, and just thought I would post a blog. What drove me to the ASPCA, aside from my crazy love of fauna, is the Remember Ninja Project on sniksnak.com. It hit home the most, I think, because I currently own a black cat, and cats are my most favorite animal of them all. And Phantom is my baby. I think I would be crushed if anything were to happen to him. So I came to the ASPCA site and read up on a lot of everything. My husband also felt it was good for me to have a cause I truly… Continue
