Well, let's see.
Danny and I will be moving me into my new place tomorrow, after the office meeting. It's pretty much complete... I just have to seat the new toilet and sinks in the restroom.
Speaking of the toilet, I've been pondering putting in "Bull Shannon" level furniture... make everyone else who comes over feel a bit like a hobbit-sized critter. (The commode I picked up is about 18 in. high.) Maybe not make it out of concrete, but large, overstuffed chairs a person could get lost in might do the trick.

everyone knows the words. the kinks did it better, but this is cool, too.

Date: 2005-11-19 04:23 pm (UTC)Two more people on my list had their cats run over within the last two weeks. One of them got a kitten afterward, and proclaimed that it, too, would be an outdoor cat. Went on to admit they can't afford to spay or neuter any of their outdoor cats, so all outdoor cats must now be female, because "male, unneutered cats wander & I lose them".
Bah! You are one of about 3 people on my list who can think animal safety through logically.
This bed was about $900...so not too cheap, and it broke within a month. Plopped down on the side, and a steel slat broke away from the frame. I've shoved boxes & all sorts of stuff underneath to keep the cats out. When one does find a way to sneak under, I shoo 'em out with a broom, and shove even more stuff underneath.
I love my Scotto buddy!

hee...I can picture you actually saying "shoo!" while waving a broom around. I'm glad you're such a good mama-hen, too.
Much love right back atcha, Doobie-buddy!

Sometimes I'll say, "No, it's not over-thinking, it's simply thinking in the first place."
If it's not hurting them, or doesn't have anything to do with them personally, why must people turn something _simple_, into a negative, when it's a positive thing?
I feel pretty strongly about things..which you may have noticed by now, so don't be too alarmed. :D

"No, it's not over-thinking, it's simply thinking in the first place."
I'll have to use that!
Some people just like to pooh-pooh on things that they personally don't have any use for. well, poo on them!
Yes! Truckload of poo on them!
Date: 2005-11-23 01:56 am (UTC)Well, we both came up with something from one another, to use when people are being rotten!

Date: 2005-11-21 09:58 am (UTC)I agree 100%.
It's too bad each city doesn't have the money/resources to make it so that you get ticketed if your pet isn't fixed, unless you pay for a yearly breeding license. Or that all vets must give free nueter/spays, and the city funds it. Wishful thinking.

Date: 2005-11-22 06:43 pm (UTC)There are so many dingalings out there who can't care properly for critters... sometimes I wonder if it's me that's the one who is out of line, but If I have to be in error, I'd prefer to be wrong on the side of kindness.

Oh, wouldn't that be great?
I wonder sometimes if I'm the one who is off, too. I'm not anywhere close to being militant. I'm *not* asking people to be *obsessed or over the top*. I am just very confused as to why people don't understand that at the very least, mediocre treatement of animals, is more decent behavior for human beings than not caring enough to think about anything other than food & water.
I'm thinking of making a community where I can post pet articles. From cute stuff to new scientific findings when it comes to pets, etc. I have to think up a catchy, easy to remember name first.

Date: 2005-11-23 09:51 am (UTC)It's a good looney! However, I think we're doing what we're supposed to be doing. Right now many are still going by what they learned from their parents. I think the Internet has been instrumental in waking peeps up.

"I'd prefer to be wrong on the side of kindness."
I'm going to remember to say that. I'm glad you mentioned it. I'm pretty blown away when people often tell me they're not doing anything even basic for their pet. They literally think I'm a weirdo for thinking they should. Maybe a comment such as that, will make them think. Maybe. At the very least, I hope it will just make them hush. :0)

If you're a weirdo, you're an awesome, caring, sweet one.
