Off to the vet, and free dog and cat food

Today’s the day we find out what’s wrong with Spiderman’s vision!  I’m pretty excited about it, because he’s a wonderfully sweet cat and he deserves to be as healthy and comfortable as possible.  I’ve spent quite a bit of time in my “office/spare cat room” with him and his brother, Greg, this week, and I know anyone who adopts them will be very happy with them.  They’re so easy to handle, and they enjoy sitting beside you or in your lap constantly.  They’ve even been playing a bit with Carlo and Bunny, our current set of feline ambassadors.

When I get home today, I’ll address the terrible cat rescue situation going on currently in Pahrump.  I’ve been meaning to write about it, but it’s so complicated, and the situation isn’t just cut and dried as media reports might suggest.  I’ll go into it a bit more this evening.  Speaking of cat rescue, however, Purina has an offer for free PurinaOne dog and cat food via their website, and it’s just the kind of thing that you could order and then donate to your favourite local rescue group.  Even if you don’t use the brand, you could request your free bag(s) and it would be great for feeding dogs at a shelter or feral cats in a colony (dry food is just so much more practical in those types of situations).  You can order one bag each of dog and cat food, so I encourage you to do it before the promotion ends.

I’m sadly still working on Harry Potter—I’ve been under the weather all week and have fallen asleep each time I’ve tried to read.  I’m on chapter 8, and trying desperately to remain unspoiled by skipping any and all blog or newspaper articles about the book.  We’ll see how long I can avoid knowing the ending, and how long I can avoid finding out who was kicked off, “So You Think You Can Dance” last night (it’s on TiVo).

  3. I just happened to surf to your blog today. I’ll be bookmarking it and visiting regularly. I’m a former foster parent for the Toronto Humane Society (I had to quit after adopting a bunch of my foster cats) so I admire your work.

    Good luck with Spiderman.

  4. My free Purina coupons arrived in the mail yesterday, so if you ordered any, look for them any day now.  I have free coupon for cat food, which I’ll use to feed strays, and I’ll send the dog food coupon to the shelter.

    And Jen, hello, and it’s nice to meet you!  I love the air show pics on your blog (my Dad was in the RCAF, so air shows were a regular part of my childhood), and I totally sympathize with adopting all the fosters wink Sorry it’s taken me six weeks to reply to these comments.

  5. Somehow your comment ended up in my Spam basket but I rescued it. I’m sitting at the computer with a dog on either side of me and my three cats snoozing in various patches of sun around the house, and I still want to run down to the humane society to pick up another litter of fosters. We’re an odd bunch, us catladies-in-waiting.

    Was it school that brought you to the U.S.? My parents are Americans but they made the reverse trip, moving to Canada in 1969.

  6. Here’s another long-overdue reply (I’m sifting through my inbox this evening to catch up)!

    Jen, I came to the US because I was in loooooove.  I’ve been here in 1991.  I almost went back to Canada in 1997, when my relationship ended, but then I met Flippy.  And so, here I stay.  I’d like to move back, or at least, move to upstate New York to be close to my parents, but I don’t know when that will happen.  Right now, Flippy’s parents are elderly so we’re staying put in Las Vegas to be close to them.
