HOW ABOUT THEM SLUGS? GRIN

Dixie, thanks! Sometime I will have to tell the story of Kitty.

I have sugar plum roses Dixie..LOL yes reasonable, most are down to 10 or less!

Venice, that's a beautiful picture of Kitty.

I would let your plant rest a while. Do you have a dehumidifier? That's what we use for watering indoor plants. I guess it distills the water.

Trina, my sugar plum rose didn't look so good, so I put it outside. The hips were getting wrinkly.

LOL, just like Mama!

lol, well I can always take more cuttings in spring!

I was hoping you would say that... maybe it will make it, when the weather gets colder I may put one of those nursery pots over it.

Sure you do T. silly me! I would love to hear about kitty some time V. Hi Smiley whats for dinner?

it's only 6:30 here and I'm ready for bed!

Dixie, jarred spaghetti sauce. yuck. 2 of DD's friends were here, cheap dinner.

I would love to hear the story of Kitty, Venice.


Right now I have to hear the pitter patter of doggie toes on cement. Be back later!

LOL Smiley, mine has decided she wants to use the litter box because Chocolate does but she still poops on the floor...stubborn little wench!

Have patience T. shes gotta adjust her aim. Grin

Ok, here's Kitty's story.

One day Kitty ran into my apartment when neighbor kids were playing with her. Mamma kitty had died about 10 years ago and I could never find a cat to replace her at the shelter. I thought, here is my kitty! She chose me! After 3 days I let her outside because it looked like she wanted out. If she didn’t come back, it would be ok if she found a better home. About 3 hours later, she came back!

She was so skinny and light as a feather, just like those rescued animals on Animal Planet. My neighbor told me about her past. She had been living on her own and outside for 2 years. People moved from their apartment and left her. Even when they were there, she was outside all the time. There is a little wooded area behind the building across the street where feral cats had been living. I don’t know where she lived in all that time, especially in the cold winter.

She isn’t a regular cat because she is kind of wild. She wouldn’t ever sit on my lap and wouldn’t even let me pet her for a long time. The only time she will let me pet her now is when she comes and lays on my desk between the computer keyboard and me. That only lasts a few minutes usually. When she turns her head or turns the other way, that means she has had enough. If I don’t stop, she will bite me. She was biting me when I went to bed. Really drawing blood! I now give her a few kitty treats in the bedroom, and one more in the hall, so I can shut the door without being attacked. It was over a year before she even purred. Now sometimes she purrs but it is so quiet that I have to put my ear in her face to hear her.

If she wants more food, she will come and tap me on my leg with her nails. If I don’t get up right away, I can really feel her nails. If I still haven’t gotten up, she will bite. She taps on the screen when she wants in or climbs the screen if she is scared and wants in.

She is about 5 years old now. The first few years, she was outside most of the day, not as much now, about 4 hours a day. And she really isn’t a she. She is a he! I didn’t want a male cat and I was used to calling Mama she, so I decided Kitty was a she. Vet said that many people do that because they are neutered anyway.

So that is the story of Kitty. I could never find a name that fit her. I was use to calling Mamma Kitty a she. So she became just Kitty!

Welcome Trina and dixie. Hope you find something you like.

Have to take friend to Iowa City to DR. tomorrow.
Hoping I can get started on carving tomorrow night. Have Wednesday off so I know what I will be doing then...Pumpkins...

Have a pattern of spooky eyes to carve the little pumpkins with and can set them behind the bushes.

DH is laughing cuz I told him to make me a jig to hold the pumpkin, while I work on it.
Said he is hiding his power tools, don't want pumpkin goo on them. I say "Boo Hoo".
He only has to clean the goo off once a year whats the big deal?

Oh and I want him to shoot out the street light on Halloween.
Think I'm asking to much??

Of course you're not JJ! Sheesh, men don't understand.
that's nice of you Venice to take the cat in!
Hi Dixie, you have a few days off now? That's good!
Trina you still counting plants?

no Lynnie I am contemplating sleep!

Lynnie he won't be laughing if he has to hold it while I use the jigsaw on it.

Might have a couple extra fingers on a pumpkin or two!!

JJ and Lynnie, are you dressing up for Halloween? Maybe Lynnie as a chicken? JJ as Sponge Bob!

I get to be a chicken? *grin*

Dixie is the chicken!

I'll take pics after & show you.

What is wrong with me!!! Kassey has to be the chicken!!!

lol I was wondering why you didn't say Kassy.

Somehow I see lynnie as Little Bo Peep and the girls as her sheep.

Or Lynnie could be a sweet potato vine tuber!!!

Imzadi, a cat!

JJ, Sponge Bob or a slug!!!

Moon, would be the swamp ghoul!

Little Bo Peep and the girls as her sheep would really be cute for Lynnie.

This is my pumpkin for moon!!
