well it turned out the black puppy wasn't the only girl.... HE was the only BOY...& we had three beautiful girl pups. All thiree girl pups have finally found homes. Thank goodness....we are now looking to place the daddy queensland & the puppy so if you know anyone in the kern county area check out craigslist for the details.

Anyhow things are starting to wind down, I'm finally getting some decent sleep.. even if it's still screwed up. I try to go to bed at 3 a.m reg. but it's been closer to 5 & 6 these days & well I did go to bed last night at 1230 but woke up in 2 hours & made myself stay in bed to fall asleep maybe little less than 2 hours.... then 430 comes along, i'm restless for another 2 hours....no sleep so i Just get up & stay up till around 9 a.m. tried again to get an hour...but nope my day was shot. Didn't help I've been fighting with a cold, runny nose etc. Then my husband decides he's going to go to the boring holiday party, watch the co workers get drunk & one ask him to strip....<now that might have been worth hearing and telling the lady off> but he did good.... he can't drink anymore cause of his stomach so thankfully that wasn't a problem, but he told her "I only strip or my wife" ...haha he's come a long long way... nice save man! Not that I was thrilled about being home alone.... but I told him to go if he wanted to. I kindof was wishing he didn't want to.... anyhow no biggy I got in another nap after we had to tackle a big job...moving a huge dresser, omy gosh, my cat got sick & threw up & it went behind the dresser....it's sitting by a window if you must ask, so here she has this nice spot to lay to watch people outside <basically back apt, no view> and well there she goes....so we had to go buy three dollies to put it on to just move it out so i could clean up behind it. Now it was much worse, as apparently from the 'sitting" area..... there was enough cat hair compiled to make an angora sweater... it was like a forest. Well oddly, NO bUGs...how weird was that. Anyhow "not complaining of course" just odd....so well that didn't help my allergies but i'm sure now that it's de-fuzzed i'm going to "hopefully anyway" sleep better. God know's what I've been breathing.

Well that was a big job, I got my bathroom cleaned earlier in the week & now half my bedroom. Gosh I remember when I could do the whole house in 2-3 hours....from top to bottom, There went my twenties... yes i probably had that OCD or what ever that was called. Anyhow i'd probably still have it, just now with the Fibromyalgia and pain i'm lucky if by the time i get to the end of the house ...in a couple weeks, i' ll have to start over again. Hoping this time, since I've also been killing myself moving crates, basically 1 or 2 a day and not being able to move the next, it's really dang frustrating when you have this "idea" how you want your house & can't BLINK like Jeanie to make it happen instantly. If I get this all done, I'm hiriing a maid. Course i did that once or twice in my 30's & well felt i had to clean the house before she came over, god know's i couldnt' let anyone see it dirty. I know thats extreme. I had two small boys & well I just do not know HOW I did it...where did i get all that energy?? I would die for half that energy now. And my boys are all grown & don't even live here. But with all the animals, well they do their share in either laying on the papers I need to get to, sitting in front of the monitor so i can't see it, or just laying around everywhere &wanting to be fed. It's a never ending battle....but you know what at least they love unconditionally.

The other thing about your pets, I have one that will literally bite my arm, sit on me, nudge till I wake up if my breathing goes haywire. Not a thrilling experience,but definitely an amazing one that they have this instinct. Course theres times' when fancy gets into this "crouger" mode, I swear she looks at me like i'm lamb chops....and i have to tell her "your f

well we ended up keeping the queensland, snip, clip and chipped, licences ...now it's officially ours... He's a good little guy, just wish he'd be more intimidating to keep strangers out of the yard

Our little pixie chihuahua had a playmate for two weeks while transferring another purebred chihuahua i received for my mom and well that was almost 2 months ago....she just gave birtrh to 4 little puppys. We wanted to breed her once, because when she was abandoned last sept. it' was obvious she had just given birth and they took them away. I wanted her to have one experience that wasnt' so traumatic. We are giving one to the people who gave us "peanut" for my mom, {who by the way has since "fixed, snipped, chipped" as well.....so no more breeding for him. Were keeping one, and selling two purebred chihuahua's.... don't ask they aren't going to be cheap.

We hope, not necessarily to profit, but to help pay for pixie getting fixed so she doesn't have to worry about this again, and shots for all and fixing our other pets... so it's going to a good cause.

Anyhow still waiting on approval, or place to be available....

I've been going thru some things i'm waiting for confirmation / blood test results from my doctor.... i'm not keen on going to them in the first place, but then i go, explain my needs and nothing is done.... feel it's been a waste of time. Yet still have the same issue left un resolved.... and you wonder why i don't trust them...

Well i have a busy day, and haven't really gotten my full 8 hours.... having to get up every 2 1/2 hours for pixie isn't helping.

I'll post a cute video of her and the pups later on....only 2 days old and one is trying to escape from the box already...dang...

have a nice day, linda

I'm updating this on May 19, I apologize for not getting this sooner....well champaine was in their mobile home all along. And if they had let me go on when all this could have been resolved immediately. 20 days.... they finally found her. HOW do you go 20 days without knowing you have a cat in your home?... i don't think so....but the fact is I got her back. Skinny and scared but now she' has recovered and we got a second chance together. Thank God.... i am cherishing her every day. During the 20 days we contacted the spca, petharbor, personal ad's, you name it including walking around another day in the mobilehome park with flyers....all the while she was INSIDE their HOME all along.... well thats now in the past. A HAPPY ENDING is what counts right. ....

Sorry about that ...here' i did it again, but the video is kindof cute with Han's the Little man dancing...

We placed champaine in ahome of a granddaughter to a friend and well apparently they were going to bring her back this weekend. i should have insisted i come friday. Well today / sunday,{march 9th} I was told she somehow got out of the mobilehome thru a hole. I was also under the presumption they lives in an apt. so here we are, A beautiful persian, long hair tan and white unique blue eyed cat thats never been out side is OUT in the scary world. She is to petite to protect her self...i'm very worried, this after being a bit Pissed....not to mention after walking all over the mobilehome part two hours to find her with no luck. I received no cooperation from the granddaughter. In fact she ignored me completely when I asked a simple request to go inside her home to see if champaine had returned and hid in a closet or something. {WHICH APPARENTLY IS WHAT HAPPENED]
I just went to my car, talked to my husband, turned around and said i'd be back after getting some gas and something to eat as I DROPPED EVERYTHING, NO BREAKFAST TO SEARCH FOR HER. Unlike them who had more important things to take care of, like stripping a screen door. Makes me wonder if she did something to it, and they got mad...HELLO that's what CATS dO! why are people so stupid! Anyhow I have no idea except i'm pretty sure my instincts are right in that they don't care if they find her. I Just pray she isn't hurt, maybe someone kind will find her. She could be traumatized, changed from the loving sweet cat I knew, and regretted giving in the first place.
Anyhow I just pray I don't have to have her as a example of what not to do... her mom was dropped off i suspect by a jelous boyfriend...which i'm not so sure isn't far from the truth in champaine, she' is a lady's cat..... only a little time will tell...or may be we'll never know.
I can only pray for her safety.
