Incompatible Pets

Check out this video. This is an example of incompatible pets. The people who made the video have cats and there is a turtle in the garden which stakes out his territory and chases them around the yard. He nips at them to make them leave his area and they run off with no real ability to fight back because he has a shell to protect himself. The poor cats just want to lounge around in the garden area and all their efforts to relax are thwarted by the turtle sentry of the back yard. It's kinda cute cause I've never seen such a bold turtle. He must have been a dog in a past life.

Sara Lou's Journal

Hello Electronic World!! I'm the new little buddy that Winnie has. I moved into the house a few weeks ago and I've finally made myself right at home. I'm still not used to the pet sitter though. She bugs me out cause I'm not used to people being in here besides mom and her housemate who lives upstairs. I ignored the petsitter the first time she came to visit me when my mom was here because she scared me. I ran and hid under the bed. When the petsitter came by herself last night I ran off again and made sure I was no where to be seen. This morning on the other hand was a different story. I came out into the dining room and when she slowly walked into the room I ran off to the corner but I didn't leave all together because I wanted to see if she would do like my mom and play chase the rope with me. Of course she did!! These humans are so easily entertained. Well I guess that's all I have to say this morning. See ya next time. Maybe I'll get some pictures taken by then.

Winnie's Check In

Hello All! It's been a while since you've heard from me. My mom has been busy so she hasn't made it out of town. First of all I should tell you about Mary Lou. She passed away from complications of elderliness and city veterinarians. I miss her a lot and so does my mom. Mom burried her next to Ms. Scarlett near the bedroom window so I could sit there and visit them when I wanted to. Mom stayed longer with me before traveling this time so I could get used to Mary Lou being gone. Eventually, she brought home a new little friend for me. My new friend is named Sara Lou. She's cute I guess but she has all sorts of issues because she was a little wild rescue cat. When she got here she had bad gingivitis breath, tapeworms, ear mites, and who knows what else. She's better now. She's little bitty compared to me and she's just a kitten. She was malnourished so we thought she was only about 6 months old but the vet's tell us she's actually a year old. I feel sorry for her but don't let her know that or it will ruin my image with her. I've been hissing now and then just to let her know I'm the boss.

Checking in with the fuzzy fans

Hello All. I wanted to drop a line and let you know that all is fine. I have not been on the blog since January 5th because life has been very busy. I have been fighting with my apartment management company to get them to perform maintenance for all of the tenants. They have not done any significant maintenance for 2 years now and when they slacked on performing my maintenance I got fed up and started a war. I first went around the entire complex and took pictures of every problem I could see. The worst of which was the sewage spewing from the back of our building and into the home-owner next door's yard. After that I went door to door in the complex notifying tenants of the goings on and asking them if they had any problems. All of them allowed me to inspect their apartments and take pictures of the problems. When that process is complete I am writing letters for all of the tenants requesting that the code enforcement officer come and inspect their apartments for problems. In the mean time I went to a city council meeting and let them know what was going on by giving them a 6 page typed report of the violations from half of the complex which totalled 177 or so violations. I have a couple of court cases to prepare for on Wednesday that I hope to help tenants win or at least get a continuance on. I am also doing lots and lots of taste testing trials for all the food samples I received. I will be publishing all of them when I am done. Some companies wanted you to know what their products were like and others didn't so I will be publishing that information as well. Thanks to all the companies who provided me samples and thanks to all of my clients who decided to let me feed your kitties and dogs all sorts of tasty samples. All of the furry friends are being cared for in the mean time. Samson and Delila, Tiger Lily and Skye, Winnie and Mary Lou are all doing just great. I will be getting back into the blogging again soon but I just wanted to check in so you all know I'm alive. By the way if any of you are interested Meridian Management Company is the company who I have launched a war against. The city mayor met with them on Friday because of the gravity of the information I've brought forward about them. This company is in Atlanta, GA so if you have renters as friends or are a renter yourself and you know this company give me info. If you do not then hope you never do.

Hugo's Diary

Today the pet sitter came. It was her first day for this particular stint. She came in for the evening meal around 630pm and then she was only here for about 10 minutes before she left. She came back around 9:30 in time to give me my insulin shot and then she was here for the night after that. She gave me my shot and then afterward when she went to throw the needle away she noticed that my mom had left her a stack of gifts. She opened the first one up and it was a 15 dollar gift card for itunes. She said at first she was wondering whether or not she could use it or not since she didn't know how it all worked. Before opening the next thing she called her girlfriend so she could give the play by play of her gift opening. She opened the second one and it was some chocolates a coffee mug and some catnip cigars for her cats. After that she went for the next box and she started freaking out. It was an ipod shuffle. She didn't know what to do with herself. She almost didn't open the rest of the gifts. Finally she contained herself and opened up the last two. One was a pair of house shoes which she needed because the other two pairs she has are falling apart due to age and Buddy chewing on them. The other was a down vest from Lands End. Finally she was done and then after talking with her girlfriend for a while she called my mom and I could hear her going on and on about the great gifts she had gotten. When she got off the phone with my mom she tole Bea and I about how great our mom is. (Like we didn't already know that!!) She said that every single year mom gets her just the right gifts. She said there has never been anything my mom gave her that she wanted to give to someone else in a regifting. She said that even if it was something she never knew she wanted that when she got it from my mom it was always perfect. She said she wished her own family took the time to pay attention in the few conversations they have with her enough that when they gave her something she felt like they were really paying attention. I feel sorry for her sometimes because she's stuck with us for Christmas but she told me that it's kinda boring with her family and it's colder where they are. She said that outside her mom she feels like Bea and I know her better and love her more anyway. She said every one else loves who they wished she'd become. I think she's become great if you want to know my opinion!! Who else can understand kitty speak as well as she can? No One That's Who!!!!! She's a keeper. I hope when mom moves she takes the pet sitter with her. If not she may have to fly her in for any of the times she's out of town. Well I'd better go I can feel another howling while I pee episode coming on.
