Our Goings On


When I was a little girl, I LOVED little tiny baby dolls more then anything!!!!! I adored baby dolls and the smaller, the better! I still have most of them. Today I went to a local school supply store and saw this tiny baby as I was checking out. I BOUGHT IT! I tried to pretend it was for Sarah Kate, and I did give it to her, but it was really for me.
Emily is so proud of these plates she designed for her family. I thought they were mighty cute!
All Christians Praying: I have to take Kristen to the vet soon. This will be an all day event. I am praying now that I can get her in her cat carrier. I usually have to capture her in a pillow case and lower her inside the carrier. The cat clinic has to call in all personnel to help. They will have to bring out the armored blanket to examine her.

I first thought that tiny baby was to tell the girls about their new cousin ha... I never thought it was something you use to play with too funny

I laughed when you told about Kristen and the vet. A kitty we had been fostering for a rescue came down with a disease I had never heard of. My vet called around and we had to transport the other 4 cats to a cat clinic in another town because they were the only one with the vaccine. While there, someone had a cat that you could hear howling and howling. The tech came out with this huge gloves on that looked like huge potholder mitts and she looked like she had been pulled backwards through a small hole. I sat there stunned and she said, 'You don't know how lucky you are.' I have never forgotten the visual of this harried vet tech!

I really had to laugh at your description of taking your kitty to the vet. We have 2 cats and our girl kitty is JUST LIKE THAT. The last visit was horrible, for her and for us. The vet sent a special cat carrier home for us to transport her in, that was made of plexiglass. It had a top that lowered to hold her still, and holes in the sides for the vet to give her the shots. She was quite traumatized, as were we. But....she didn't bite or claw anyone and she did get her shots!

I wonder if your vet could give you some valium to give to your cat...sounds totally crazy I know...but I had a cat that was the same way...oh it was horrible to get her in the carrier.

Our cat is the exact same way. It takes the vet and three assistants to hold him down and that is after giving him tranquilizers. They use the big potholder armmits and everything. He growls and hisses and moans the whole time. The vet said she is most scared of our cat than any other animal she has seen. Luckily he is great with us and our kids :)

Laurie....you have to capture her in a pillow case?? I'm laughing out loud. Maybe the vet will tell you Kristen needs to be released into the wild...where she belongs. I kid....well you know I'm not kidding. :)

Ok friend, that tiny baby is just creepy to me! You are funny!

I wish I could help you with Kristen! Have you tried giving her a little bit of Benedryl before putting her in the carrier? I don't know how in you would get her to take Benedryl but it works to knock them out a little. ha ha ha!
Let me know if you need help.

I hope you managed to get Kristen to the vet and back again without losing any fingers, haha!

She looks like such a sweet cat, but if she's anything like mine, she goes nuts when she spots the cat carrier!

Kristen may need a little tranquilizer sprinkled on her food before her vet visit...I know I would need one if I were taking her!
