It looks like a little Hitler mustache. But what a great pose. Pretty darn smug. CHAR

My cat is also on the lite cat food, because of his constant habbit of 'eatting'. But he likes the food, and actually prefers it over regular. 20# and holding. CHAR

Those are really, really impressive . I like them a lot. CHAR

My gardens have filled in so much you can't tell the weeds from the flowers unless you are up really close. There are a few spots of poison ivy from birds who dropped the seeds. If I get them early enough, I can pull them out by the roots easily. My short dayllilies were awesome this year, I put the...

I like the idea of a small trellis for the roses, because you can always prune roses to fit into any space, and they will come back. Also, mybe some pink cone flowers mixed in with your Russian Sage, since they also have a height that goes well with the sage. And it seems to bloom about the same tim...

My cat is an indoor/outdoor (mostly outdoor) cat. He has no front claws either. But that doesn't stop him from catching prey. Mice, frogs, rabbits, chipmunks. etc. Because he catches so many, and eats some of them, I dose him regularly with a worm medicine, since rhodents can carry parsites. I also ...

This is quite a bit late, but, our boy boxer (neutered at an acceptable young age), did not lift his leg to pee for over 3 years because he was never around any male dogs to pattern his behvior after. The first time he was around a dominant male dog who lifted his leg, was when our boxer started it....

I find that I have to stay out of fabric stores. Its an addiction, you know. If I go inside, then I always come out with fabric in hand. The last thing I sewed was curtains for my son, but that was hardly creative. The last thing I 'created' was a paperback book cover. A cat print on the outside wit...

How time fly's. I'm pretty busy this summer, but not with gardening, (darn). I have gone back to work because DH is every so slightly concerned about $$. And since the position I took as an RN is a 12-hour one, I am having trouble getting aclimated to this time frame. But it means more days off. The...

actually, I don't like snakes either, but this one was safe to be around. CHAR

This is totally cool. My grandson found this in the yard today. After he found it, he was terrified. After that it was a good way to educate. And he could stand up on the deck and look down, so he wasn't so close. But how often do we get to see, up close, good stuff like this. This is an Eastern Hog...

Isn't it funny how they pick one person o 'show their affection to or bug', Mickey is the same way. He knows my DH isn't fond of cats, but will always lay on his sweatshirt. or try to get into his open dresser drawer to sleep. CHAR

Ohhh, I like those suggestions. I just don't want them to get lost in all the brush I don't want there. CHAR

He is such a nice cat, and really loves being by me. I took him to the vet a few weeks ago because he was coughing. The hacking, loose cough with nothing coughed up. The vet listened, and took a chest x-ray and said she thinks he has a chronic bronchitis. He doesn't feel bad and it certainly doesn't...

The cat tails are right where I want my dock, so maybe just a pathway through them. And my frontage seems to be the only one along this side of the lake that has brush growing. And it obscures the view of the lake. I guess I'll have to just keep the old dead stuff out, and put up with the willows an...

Ed, what a nice, nice collection/arrangement, and evidentally the dog thinks so too. they like to stick around us while we are working, don't they. CHAR

I'm hoping someone has some information on keeping scrub brush from coming back. Our underdeveloped lakefront property has an almost solid front of scrub brush. e.g. willow, and dogwood, a few large poplar trees, and sumac, along with sundry other stuff. We spent a lot of time last spring clearing t...

Mickey feels the need to be close when I'm at the computer and when I'm making phone calls. And this large fat fur ball takes up a lot of space. (note at the bottom of the 1st picture, on the floor, you see a fold-up-sticky mouse trap, for all of his 4 footed treats that he brings into the house and...

Such a great picture. Siamese blends still retain the pleasing color pattern, and usually have one or more feet that are white. CHAR
