Buster, I bet my wife knows some of your family. She had a business in Wilburton for 23 years. Lot of clients from all over, including a bunch from Red Oak.

No doubt. My family has been in and around that area since 1910. My uncle knows just about most of the folks around there, living or dead. We can visit almost any cemetery in the area and he can start rattling off stories, and when we eat out everybody comes by to say hello. My dad and grandparents are buried in Mountain Station.

We have our family reunion at Robbers Cave every other year. Heck, we might be kin. I might be an in-law.

Alot of people treated Sue like family. She has some very close friends out that way.

No fair! Cute, cute, cute kittens!!!! How am I supposed to resist that sweet brown and white thing or that grey kitten on the bottom? And the one on top looks just like one we have now that is the favorite cat of my elderly neighbor......

How old are they, male or female, do you think my husband would notice another cat if I kept it in the closet like a friend's daughter did for a few weeks until her parents found out? We "officially" have 3 cats, all outdoor cats and all spayed adult females. There is a walk-up gray cat that the alpha female tolerates and allows to eat from the dish on the back porch. All other cats, the alpha female scares off. I would have to keep any "new" cats in the workshop. Hmmmmm Because we have feed for chickens, we tend to have mice in the sheds and barn in the winter...... and my current # of sissy cats are not extinguishing the mice population as well as the Malay chickens do.....

Thanks Carla...now to steal the checkbook!!

Brick - I wouldn't put up with being treated like family...I prefer being treated like company...the go and get you drinks! Stupid family expects you to bring them back something! That is how I treat Shawn

he knows where the fridge is!

Hey Carla, Nicks little spitz died today.

It turns out it was what I believe was a crop problem.

I put them on the pine pellets right before she got sick and I think she may of eaten some.

I tried all the crop remedy's and she seemed better this morning and then she went down really fast.

If this little silkie cries all night I will be looking for her a buddy or a new home

1. I need a kitten, but the wife's schnausers kill them faster than I can get them.

B. Al, the Riverwind casino makes the best coffee I have ever tasted.

2. Maybe we should move our thread to random whatever so that we don't have to abide by such rigid guidelines.


I'm just sayin'

On cats and mice, I'm lucky in that regard. I have a cat we rescued at a campground on the Rio Grande (named him Rio) as a kitten that had been living on his own there for over a month. That fella is the world champion mouser. When we first moved here he would be walking by with a different mouse or a rat in his mouth at least two or three times a day, and he trained the other three how much fun it was. Our back yard started smelling like roadkill. Now we hardly ever see any sign of mice anywhere, except the one or two a week he brings home out of the fields.

The kittens haven't been outside yet. The fathers of the black and white, and of the blue one are excellent mousers. Momma, not so much. They do practice mouser agility drills in the house though.....

Please don't resist!!!

I need them to go, and I want them to go to good homes! The black and white one and the gray and white one are males. The blue one is a female. naaaaaah he won't notice!

I will say that we don't have a mouse problem around here, so they must be doing a great job! Now when we first moved in, we noticed mice, but since the cats have been here, we don't have a problem with them.​
