RN TexasDeb, we had the same prob in the morning, woke up and it smells of cat pee, but we can't figure out exactly where Madame did the deed last night. Also in stink-containment mode here this AM. Opened windows and plugged in one of those scented thingies. (Hate opening windows in freezing temps. BRRR) It's certainly been Scooty-the-Cat's week to be a fuzzybottomed PITA. She bit my arm a few days ago when I cuddled her while she was snoozing, and the bruising and swelling just started fading a bit yesterday. (I know, they say 'let sleeping dogs lie', but they forgot to add 'let sleeping cats doze' too! LOL)

RN I am impatiently waiting for the mailman. I ordered a fake life sized squirrel dog toy, and tracking says it should be here today. Then when the dogs are napping, I am going to go set it next to the bird feeder on the deck rail. When my dogs see a squirrel by the bird feeder, they go nuts and chase it off. I am wondering what they will do when they get to this one and it doesn't run off...LOL

RN I am quitting smoking tomorrow. I had adopted a grandmother at an assisted living place near me and I told her that I would quit smoking when she turned 100. she ended up passing away last August, but I decided I would still quit on her birthday which is December 4th.

RN, that's wonderful of you to keep your promise to that woman even though she has passed. Hang tough, you can do it!

RN I am pretty confident that I will do it this time. The first thing I need to do this weekend is really air out my car (that is the one place I knew I could smoke and no one could say a word about it)

RN DF, I think that's just the most touching story, and I admire and commend you. I'm certain that your adopted Grandma (who is now an angel), will be VERY proud of you. You CAN do it. DH quit smoking about 14 years ago. He went on the patch, and never looked back. GOOD LUCK!

RN Dfennessey, that is fantastic. I am happy for you. RN Jimmer, I am going to try to film it. I am trying to figure out the logistics now of how to film it the best way. I may have to wait until tomorrow to pull it off. The fake squirrel just showed up a few minutes ago, and I took the package into the bathroom to open it. It looks pretty good and I think from a distance it will look real to the dogs. Here's the catalog picture of the squirrel I got.

RN I just found this adorable joke for pet lovers. Dear Dogs and Cats, The dishes with the paw print belong to you and contain your food. The rest of the dishes belong to me and contain my food. Please note, if you put a paw print in the middle of my plate or food, that does not stake a claim for it. It is still mine. I also do not find it aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. NASCAR did not design the stairway. It is not a racetrack. Trying to beat me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me will not help you win because I will fall faster than you can run. A king-sized bed is the largest that is made. I cannot get anything bigger. I am sorry about this. Do not expect me to continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats are capable of curling into a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular next to each other and stretched out to the fullest extent possible. Sticking your tail out straight and hanging your tongue out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I manage to beat you there and get the door shut, it is not necessary to whine, meow, claw, try to turn to doorknob, or squeeze your paw under the door to try to pull it open. I have to exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for many years -- feline or canine attendance is not required. (ED: my cats and my dog do this everytime I am in the bathroom!!)

rn It amazes me that every time I happen to watch a JFK special on when he was assassinated, I find myself trying to will him (them) to change their route or plans...

RN, I do the same thing! Probably because it was such a traumatic time in my life and I've always wondered how different the country might be had he lived. I was on stage in my elementary school for our second grade play when a mother burst open the double doors of the gymnasium and was screaming that the President had been shot. It was utter chaos, parents running up to the stage and snatching us...and I remember when my Mom got to me we practically ran all the way home (we lived about 4 blocks from the school and never used a car back then). The TV was on all weekend and I remember being riveted to it even though I was only 7

It was a little before my time, so I don't have a memory of when it happened, but I think the same thing about how different the country might be had he lived. I'm watching a special where this is discussed by members of the secret service. It is very good. Never thought about it, but these men sure carried a lot of guilt.

RN, just finished watching special (Chicago area only?) "Glory Days: Legends of the '85 Bears". It was good. I'm not so much into sports but those were good days. Fun. Nobody before or after like those Bears. In years since I did get Gary Fencik's and Willie Gault's autographs.

And I think it might have been during JFK, Jr.'s interview on Oprah that he said it was not impossible that he might eventually go into politics. If he had . . . .

RN We were in a college classroom on the day John Kennedy was shot. We heard radios playing outside, but didn't know why. After class I walked toward the library. A girl approaching me was crying. She said "The president has been shot." I asked if he had died. She said they didn't know. I continued to the library. A radio was on there and someone on the radio announced that the President had died. The feeling of loss is something I will never forget.

RN, Jimmer, I finally played the squirrel joke on my dogs this morning. It's funny because after they drag it off the rail, they just kinda look at it because it wasn't what they expected...LOL Close-up of it on the rail next to the feeder. It looks pretty real!
