I just received a email from Ladybugs and a picture of Elly, Elly is doing good.. but her mom Lori has just had a knee surgery so she is kind of just getting back .. I hope we will be getting some pictures and a update from her soon  Tarzan is doing good.. but Simba is not responding as well as I had hoped.. time will tell but it's so hard to see him so thin.  Still not sure if either Kiki or Cappi are pregnant yet but should know soon.. fingers crossed for the ones on the waiting list.. Trouble and Pepper are growing like weed's.. once I learn how to do it I'll post new pictures of them and MeMe's little guy too.. he is now known only as Monkey as I can't figure out a name for him yet  He had his first shots today but is still with his mom MeMe, she is enjoying every last minute of her last one  she doesn't want to let him go so he is a big baby .. spoiled! ;D |

Knee surgery is never any fun. Hope Lori heals well and fast. Glad to hear Tarzan is doing better, but it breaks my heart about Simba. Keeping positive thoughts in Las Vegas. I'm sure we all would love to see pictures of Trouble (I love his coat!) Pepper and the new kid as well. I'm glad to hear MeMe is being better with him. You can add pics directly from your computer. Just click on Reply, and then Choose File above where you normally type the reply. A box will pop up, find the file on your computer, and select the pic you want. If the picture is still on you camera, you can even pull it from there. Trial and error, that's how you learn new stuff. You can't break anything, give it a shot!  |

OK, I'll play with it later .. right now I'm so angry I could spit!  Just got a email from people that have 3 of my cat's.. The cats are now 10 yrs old, have lived with them from the beginning and they are splitting up and neither can take the 3 cats!! Their apartments don't allow for animals!! REALLY??!! I said to find a different apartment but they want to re-home them.. I can't believe they can just give them up after 10 years.. I could never do it no matter what.. If anyone know any one in N.Y that would like to take them or would like them shipped to them..please tell them to contact me.. they have 1 Blue Leopard female from Tika & Thor born 6/2/03 1 Snow Leopard male from Cleo & Bear born 6/30/03 1 Silver Ebony Leopard male from Thor & Blue Poppy born 6/30/03  |

That is sad, but without knowing more I can't truly be mad at them. If they are just splitting up because they don't like each other anymore, and the cats are a distraction, then yeah, they suck.
But, if maybe the wife is a violent drunk who gambled away all the couples money, and hubby lost his job due to the economy, then it's a different story. Sometimes in life we have to make very hard decisions. The fact that they reached out to you says something, they could have just taken them to the pound, and not said anything to anyone.
Not arguing, just saying there are usually several layers to every story. Good on you for trying to help find new homes...

I can not figure out how such a nice person can see all you see on a daily basis and still be one of the nicest people on the planet!! Dang Dan Well, knowing them the way I do I can tell you that neither is a drunk, or unemployed.. they both make a good living but just fell out of love.. as for the animals.. they are just in the way of them living in the apartment buildings they each want to live in as the buildings they want to live in do not allow animals. Also having animals to care for get in the way of finding a new partner.. REALLY???. .. so yeah they double suck.. after all this time it is no longer convenient to have animals.. I wonder if they wanted to live in a adult only building if they would put the kids up for adoption Probably..but that I would understand ;D that is something I would do before I would give up my animals..  |

I had a friend several years ago that had a pair of chocolate poodles, brother and sister, about 4 years old. I'm not really a poodle person, but they were beautiful animals, and very friendly. They were the medium sized ones, about 25 pounds. Both were AKC, and not annoying yappers. Just great dogs.
He and his wife split up, and they sold their ridiculously large house at the peak of the market, made a ton of money. Neither he nor his ex-wife wanted the dogs after the split.
So he had them both put to sleep. I never could stomach the guy after that. I was just sickened...
I can't imagine giving up Scooter, or even crazy Jenny. If I lost everything, I'd be the homeless guy on Fremont with two cats in my shopping cart. It is unfortunate that they don't want their pets anymore. I guess they are just possessions to some folks.

Dan, so sad to hear about the poodles, and I get really mad with people treat animals as possessions. Animals have consciousness even if it isn't just like ours. I'm reminded of a Persian proverb, "Do not harm the ant that's carrying a seed, for it has a life, and sweet life is indeed a blessing.
Good to hear about Trouble and Pepper and Monkey. Can't wait for the pictures. And sending good thoughts and healing energy for Simba. And Arlene, I wish you the strength to hang in there with him and hopefully respond to your tender loving care.

I believe it was Gandhi that said " the way to judge a nation and it's people is in how they treat their animals".. So with that being said.. Dan I'm with you.. if I had to I would have ten shopping carts pulling my cat's with me if I was homeless..Each is so precious to me.. Thanks Ali, it's good to hear from you again  I will do everything possible for Simba, but I will not let him suffer.. right now he is holding his own.. I have him on a all raw diet as he needs the protein..He is also on vitamins, colostrum.. Rachel sent MMS for him.. so everything is being done to help .. it's just a matter of time.. today my vet sent of his blood and urine for testing at a lab.. White light, smoke and prayers, fingers crossed and anything else that I can do is being done..now I wait to see if he can be healed soon. I also hope to have good news from the 2 girls I bred.. little stinkers, never know with them  I got a email from Lori ( Ladybuggs) she has had a set back from her surgery and is being treated for a blood clot .. she will get back on the forum as soon as she is released and is well enough.. she said to say "HI" to you all and she will be back soon. |

Thanks Arlene, I'm glad to be back on the Forum. As I'd mentioned to you, I was away for almost a month, but now I'm home and ready to hear the good news one of these days about the two girls. I'll keep my fingers crossed too about Simba, and will send him some lime green light, it's supposed to be a great color for healing, and maybe some orange light to keep him strong.
I really like the Gandhi quote. It makes a lot of sense to me. It's only when we care for those that cannot protect themselves from harm that we show what it means to be human.

Wow, this is an emotional thread My jaw dropped when you spoke of those dogs Dan. I would of never imagined that they could do such a thing!!! Arlene, if you could forward pictures of the 3 cats that are up for adoption....I will gladly find the very best home/s for them. I turned to Ron right away and said....Well??? Nope, guess our cats get on so well that he didn't want to take a chance? Or maybe he can't take any more weight on him while he sleeps in his chair Gizmo is pretty heavy Then there's Simba! Sending healing energy to that boy! I hope the Vet finds what's ailing him ASAP. Sending lots of love your way Arlene xoxoxoxo |

That's a good one Jackie.. I've heard "My plate is full" But it's a first that the lap is full ;D I understand.. the last thing i need right now is more but it is what it is and I will not allow them to go to a shelter.. who knows where they will end up.. It would break my heart to know that they were let out when they have never been outside, also to think some one might declaw them or use Ketamin on them and wind up with a brain damaged cat or one with seizures.. then what? Put down or back to another shelter?? Not going to happen.. but if it's a good DLX understanding home then GREAT!! I will send pictures and appreciate any help in finding them a loving home.. |

I have a good update this time.. I think As far as I can see.. Cappi is getting a belly!! She looks like she is preg and it's early for her to show so maybe she will have more then one or two.. but I said that before She just better not make a lier out of me, or in the creek she goes ! ;D As for Kiki.. I still have no idea if she is or not.. it's a waiting game.. but I just thought a little good news was needed with all the negative i have right now.. it's a little 'pick me up' |

Cappi is in the house in our bathroom.. she sure is getting big.. Kiki is still in the cattery but in the isolation area as she is getting very grumpy with the other girls So it looks like we might have two girls preg, but for sure Cappi is. Now for the part I have had a problem with... Simba.. one of the great loves of my life, has Pancreatic cancer...no cure.. to say I'm devastated wouldn't even come close.. it is very rear in cat's.. my heart aches .. I spent a lot of time with him the past few days, he loves when I hold him. I want to spend every minute I have left and can with him.. I wish I could sleep with him .. DR said I would know when the time is right.. so far it isn't here yet but I know it won't be long before my world collapses.. sorry to be like this but it hurts beyond words. I know anyone who has been Through this knows how I'm feeling.. thanks to all of you for understanding if I'm kind of out of it for a while.. but I will keep everyone up to date as time goes on.. |

The cat's are in N.Y but Rachel is willing to go get them and try to help place them.. she has a home in N.Y, Aspen and Hood River, she can bring them to this side of the globe if anyone is interested..
Thanks for thinking of Simba.. he is such a special guy, he is still eating and calling the girls so I guess he has time left.. I spend a lot of time with him and watch close for the first sign of pain.. I won't let him suffer.. he's my heart.

He had his first shots today but is still with his mom MeMe, she is enjoying every last minute of her last one
