About a month ago my Winnie and Jessie were engaged in their usual horseplay, but something went awry -- Winnie was not himself -- no eat, no drink -- so, off to the Vet we went. It turned out he had a lump in his neck -- i could NOT believe it -- what in God's name happened? -- did he swallow something? -- it turns out Jessie probably bit him --… read more

Yoda has finally hit his goal weight of 11 lbs. I have discovered that he is a English Toy Spaniel (tiny version of a King Charles Cavelier). He loves his car rides, playing at 3:00 am. His favorite foods are eggs, cheese, popcorn and potato chips. He doesn't deal well with the cold weather so I had to find him a sweater:) and he… read more

I really enjoy cats -- watching them -- they amuse me, unintentionally, of course. Not long ago, Apple and Hannah (son and mother) were sitting at the glass door looking into the back garden -- out of the blue, Hannah gives Apple a whack on his head with her quick paw -- for no apparent reason! -- Apple looks at her, then looks away continuing to … read more

Today I visited with Patty and Heather, they both looked great. The shelter was busy with lots of adoptions and lots of excitement. What a beautiful last day of summer. Patty, her staff and board members are working with the city of Columbia on a handful of details that hopefully will be resolved in the coming weeks. We reviewed a general… read more

Having heard through the grapevine that there would be no shelter makeover III, I posted a question asking if zootoo could inform us. When I went to choose the category to put my question in, there is no shelter makeover category in the questions/answer list. It is still in the journals list. Is this an indication to… read more

It's September and the weather has dramatically cooled -- during the hot and humid summer days the heat was visible by just observing my sweeties' fur. Now, all is back to normal -- their fur doesn't seem to stand on end. Mind you, their place was relatively cool. They love their cardboard boxes and I, from time to time, move them about and chan… read more

I adopted Bijoux from the Butte Humane Society November 2008. Named Pandora at the time, she came from a litter or 6 that was saved by the shelter. I had been searching everywhere for a pup like her and when I saw her at the foster parent's home it was love at first sight. At the time she was named Pandora, but I changed it to Bijoux to go along wi… read more

Sunday was unusually quiet so I got a lot of sewing done. I bought remmnant polar fleece plus some quilted and cordroy fabric to make cat blankies. Turns out my old '75 Singer sewing machine won't stich up the newer polar fleece fabric. I thought my machine was ready to be replaced, so I had to do the cut fringe & tie knots method which came ou… read more

It has been terribly humid lately -- my sweeties seem to manage -- they're terrified of thunder though, even remote and muted thunder -- they run for the hills and you couldn't find them, no matter how you tried. I want them to perform in a terrible way -- the vision is slowly forming in my mind's eye -- when i see other cats perfor… read more

I just stopped by and saw something in someones journal about October starting a new makeover. I was wondering if it is true? I would absolutely love to help my shelter in my spare time! Does anyone here know if there will be another Makeover? read more

It's rather humid lately -- everyone is waiting for the rain -- decided not to do any outside work because of prediction of rain -- still, no rain. I did a thorough vacuuming of my sweeties' quarters -- on a daily basis, i usually just sweep, which of course is better than not cleaning up at all. But, vacuuming is the best for stray hairs and lit… read more
