First Annual Cinco de Mayo Turkey Hatchathon- Join us! Set Day: Easter

[Arielle]

My cat was feeling left out so I thought i would put him up as my avatar for a day. I rescued him from a dairy farm. He had a severe infection in his eye and the farmer was going to shoot him he was a Ferrell cat. but you wouldn't know it now. I took him to the vet and with weeks of medication and care I was able to save his eye and he is really attached to me now.

Good for you!! I wish more people would adopt cats in need, because cats need special homes!

Well, it sounds like he has a wonderful life. I am being harrassed by three boys (that know I can be sweet talked) to get an inside dog. All the dogs they have ever had were large outside dogs. I guess I will have to give in, I can't say no when they all three gang up on me. Besides, I am a pushover when it comes to animals. I have a teen pup right now that someone dropped off at the end of the drive. I was grilling burgers for one son's birthday and the pup made a bee-line for the back yard. I HAVE to get rid of him but decided to teach him some basic manners first so someone would want him. The boys call him Skeeter, I just call him Puppy. He knew nothing when he got here, not even what "no" means or to come when called. He now knows those and sit and can walk on a leash. I hope I can find a home for him, he is WAY too interested and excited about my chickens.

ETA - Night all, it's been a long day, I'm turniing in.......

NOw that he's trained . . . why get rid of him?? PS I had 4 big dogs in the house, now it's 2 and much more manageable! THe dogs do what I tell them . . the children need to be told 3 times.

Quote: Yup, he's a cat!

Sorry it's been one of those days... 46 patients in clinic today scheduled plus I had about 439068 walk ins... I'm having some adult beverage right now. I also have about 43698 PMs and I gotta deal with those, too.

At least I'm off tomorrow.

What say you? I'm off every day? Ha!

That's the nicest thing I've been called all day!

I know I'm a nut and I'm perfectly sane with chicken eggs. Dunno what's come over me.

I think it's "hatch fever" I hear it's very contagious and symptoms include red noses and blurry vision from being pressed into windows for hours on end, an incessant need to use flashlights, and chirping sounds in your ears at all hours of the day and night. I heard once you have it the symptoms fade from time to time but never go away
