Here it is Monday and I am still trying to write something to go with "It was a dark and stormy night". Obviously I am not doing to well.
I do have a very current picture of my Jake doggie and the babe Spike to pass along thought. My friend Sheila took them on Friday.
Enjoy

For those of you who have not been visiting me on good old 360 I thought it would be best to catch up on what has been going on in my and my furry families life.
It has not bee a good year. Starting in June I think ( it all became blur) my most wonderful Wannabe passed away after a sickness and a grand walk about that he took. Breezed out the front door when I wasn't looking and was gone for 2 days. By the time he came back it had all been too much for him and even thought the doctor tried to pull him through his ordeal we lost him. He was 14 and it was just too soon.
Well then at the beginning of July my wonderful new adoptee, Charlie the Dalmation succumbed to his battle with the tick fever he had caught. He just stopped eating couldn't help him at all. He wasn't a young dog, he was 12, so it was hard for him to fight off the disease and we had to have him put down ( I do so hate that expression) over 4th of July weekend.
Before the month was out I was finding myself having to do the same thing to my most precious Goldie dog. You have all known Goldie since she came to live with us two years ago. She was 16 and a half when she passed away basically from old age. I had always hoped that she would just pass away in her sleep, but she had so much insticnt still going that even though she couldn't see, hear, smell and barely stand up she kept trying. Finally had to have the doctor come to the house and well you know. I really loved that old girl and miss her very much.
In the mean time Jake Dog is still hanging in there. He can't really get around much at all but the doctor says that he is very motivated, has a lot of feeling left in his body and his quality of life is good. So if I want to continue taking care of him, she see's nothing wrong. She did give me some parameters to go by to know when enough is enough, so I will live with what she says.
As you can see in the previous blog we have the new babe to help keep us smiling. There is nothing better than having a kitten around the house. We did find a new furry friend last Christmas, Mikey. I may have a pic of him in my albums, not sure. He is doing well and that makes six cats and one crippled old dog and of course me, one slightly old woman.
I am now going to be another year older, 62, oh my god (I hate abbreviations)....I actually will start collecting my social security in February, I can't wait, nice extra money to go traveling. Might even see some of you all. I am doing well. Keep my self nice and healtly with my veggie diet. As much as I hate to say it I have started to eat some fish. Mostly salmon because the doctor told me it would be a good idea to lay off of the soy. In case you all don't know soy contains a great deal of estrogen and is not good for women in menopause of men even. So any way I am healtly and working my fat butt off as usual. Have lost a few clients because of the economy but the come and they go.
Hard to believe that I started blogging on 360 three years ago this coming November and here I am still blogging, maybe not in the same place but still here none the less with most of my old friends.
And now I think I will actually try most wickedly's writting challange.
It was a dark and stormy night.....
To be continued.

Surprise. Not that any one much cares after all this time. But I thought I would start hanging out around Multiply more.
I am trying to get in touch with all my friends which really looks like I will be every where. What can one do. I have even gotten my My Space page going again because some of the friends have gone there. Since winter is coming and I will be in the house most of the time I thought I would make my voice heard again.
So how are you all that I haven't seen for a while. Good I hope. Drop me some comments and you will see I will be out there also.
My biggest thing in life right now is my new baby kitty Spike you I will post a picture of and the economy here in the states. Oh please, it is time like this that I am glad I am poor. Looks like the recession is really kicking in. The last time this happened I was on unemployment three times. This time I just hope that my clients will be able to afford me. I have lost a few because of the housing market crashing, because they were in the business. Seems that the rest are holding on. The whole problem in a nutshell as I see it is the usual, my favorite three words. MONEY GRUBBING SCUM. Which is one of the reasons the stock market is all over the place. It's hard to even notice that we have a presidential election going on. What a mess.
So that's that for now. Hope you all haven't given up on me.
Be well

When you open this web sitewww.humanecalifornia.org You will wonder why I have posted this, Of course unless you live in California, since it is about a proposition that is on the ballot in California, but you should read what it is all about and understand where your food comes from. Animal abuse in food stock is rampant, and sooooo horrible. Animals in cages so small they can't move even turn around. Chickens having their becks pulled off so they can't peck each other in these tiny cages. And I am talking cages with 20-26 chickens stuffed in them. Nursing pigs who can't turn around or stand up in there pens. Cattle ( you know cow and baby cows other wise know as veal) being shocked and tormented as they are lead to slaughter. You know guys it ain't pretty. Now most of you out there eat these poor creatures so maybe you could in your own area fight for protection from abuse for them until they get to your table. Buy organic so that you will know that you dinner had a decent life before it gave it up so you can eat.
Think before you buy.

That little fuzzball is Spike.
Part Siamese and part orange tabby.
He is 7 weeks old now, was 6 when I adopted him.
Adopted him last week in the bank of all place. People giving him away.
Of course I couldn't resist.
Our family has needed some smiles and laughs and nothing can do that more than a little kitten.
Of course he needed a home and we had room
So........
More pics to follow during his childhood.
Have a great day
Susan
