I would take it but my Chow would look at it and then have lunch, then my Great Pyrenees would play with whatever was left. Poor kitty.

Good morning TM, nice to see you. :-6

Good morning Hope :-6 My two Miniature Pinschers think the kitten is a rabbit. Right now, I have the kitten in her own room separated from the dogs. I want to make sure the vet gives the kitten a clean bill of health before I introduce the kitten to the dogs. My older cat (Babe) is jealous and just keeps hissing at it. TG I have 7 bedrooms and the animals can have their own rooms.

thats great that you have a way of keeping them separate! :-6

i had 2 dogs that kept trying to kill my moms cat, she lives next door to me, we have a outdoor pen so we would swap, when we had the dogs in the pen she would let the cat outside and when we wanted to let them out she would put the cat back up! :wah::wah:

I need lots of hugs please!:(

i've got to take Jacob for his 2 year old check up today! Oh i'm dreading it so much, he hates going to the doctor with a passion! The last time they had to take blood it took 3 of us to hold him down!

he's crying and screaming for momma, and there's nothing i can do about it!

i usually come out of there crying about as badly as he is! -1

My middle daughter was like that, she's 20 and still needs her hand held.:wah:

Before your hugs, let me make a recommendation for you...as mommy, don't help hold him down. Let them do it and he'll probably be better for just them and not sense your fears and sadness so much...then, after THEY have done the bad stuff, you swoop right in and comfort him...it makes mommy his hero that saves him...not the one to inflict the pain. Just my thoughts and years of experience. Ok, since I'm done with my blabbering, here's your hugs!:yh_hugs:yh_hugs:yh_hugs:-4

i even had the nurse asking me if i was alright! now thats pretty bad! :wah::wah:

but that one time the two that were there couldn't hold him down, he's a strong little fella! :wah:

something they do here when kids have to have needles at school is they bring in a life size teddy bear. the kids cuddle him as they get their injections. Hospitals have them too . Might be something to bring up with your doctor.


i will try to act casual thanks!

the stuffed animal is a good idea, maybe i'll take one with us today! :-6

This Is For You Hope

thank you PJ!:-4

If I was an Angel...

© Jessica M. Monahan

If I was an angel,

I would always be there to take care of you.

If I was an angel,

Nothing would ever harm you.

If I was an angel,

I would prevent anything bad from happening to you.

If I was an angel,

I'd give you a star that would light your way on days of sadness and on dark nights without a moon.

If I was an angel...

But I'm not, I'm only mortal.

I can't see the future,

And I can't always be by your side,

I can't prevent tragedies from happening,

I don't have special powers and I'm not sure of any advice that I may give you.

I sometimes think about the things I would do if I was an angel,

And I get sad because I can't liberate you.

Sad I am when you fall and I can't help you up.

But what can someone like me do?

I can only offer my love and unconditional friendship,

Ask god to always take care of you and protect you,

And thank life for giving me a chance to know you and being a part of your life.

Count on me today, tomorrow, and always.

I AM YOUR ANGEL!!!

So, how was Jacobs Dr appt? Is he feeling ok after getting his shots? (did he get shots? It's been so long I don't remember the timetables!) Do you need more hugs?:wah::wah:

Steps To Happiness

Everybody Knows:

You can't be all things to all people.

You can't do all things at once.

You can't do all things equally well.

You can't do all things better than everyone else.

Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.

So:

You have to find out who you are, and be that.

You have to decide what comes first, and do that.

You have to discover your strengths, and use them.

You have to learn not to compete with others,

Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.

Then:

You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.

You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.

You will have learned to live with your limitations.

You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.

And you'll be a most vital mortal.

Dare To Believe:

That you are a wonderful, unique person.

That you are a once-in-all-history event.

That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.

That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.

And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
