I got bored this morning so I rolled out some dough and after cutting it into little squares, filled them with a filling mix made with the raspberries mentioned in another blog and baked a dozen turnovers. They came out perfect.

Probably not good for my blood sugar that I have already eaten 6 of them.

My house has a new cat.. I picked her up at an animal shelter yesterday. Poor thing was put in there last October and has been stuck in a cage since then. They think she is about 3 years old. Most of the cats at the shelter look very sad. Some look scared. My Tom cat is 15 and now that he is all alone here (except for me of couurse) I feel guilty when I go out for a few hours. He comes running and crying when I come home. Before the death of my Moe cat this remaining one had never been alone before. I think he gets lonely and maybe a little scared when I go out. So I decided to get him a companion.

There exist selection criteria for a new cat to be here. They have to want to be with me. If not, then it is best to not adopt them. Some display of intelligence is also helpful. At the shelter there is a room full of 2' tall cages stacked 3 high all around the room with cats in all of them, maybe 60 such. Most of the cats were just huddled as far back from the cage door as they could be. I circled the room slowly inspecting each cage's occupant. Abandoned cats, captured cats, donated cats, old cats, young cats, declawed cats, friendly cats, not friendly cats, clawed cats, males and females. Their apprehension at my inspection was noticeable. A little tag on each cage describes the occupant. Some had been in there for months and months. It is a no kill shelter so they will be caged until the day someone adopts them. Only one cat displayed curiosity at me. The one I adopted. She meowed at me. None of the others made a sound except one old Tom who made a warning noise when I peered in at him. The one I adopted got up from the back of the cage, came to the door and stuck her paw out at me through the bars and waved. She had not been declawed. That is a plus as she may not initially like my Tom cat's attentions. The tag said she had been previously owned by a family. They moved to a place that doesn't allow pets so one day she just got plunked into a box and was brought to the shelter and caged. The tag sasy they described her as friendly and playful. Those owners never looked back or visited her again. Such love they display. No Heaven for them. There is no place in heaven for the cruel. Poor thing. Wondering what she did wrong. Where are the children she played with? Where is the woman who used to hold her? What crime did she do to so offend them they threw her into a cage and just left her there? No doubt most of the cats have similar thoughts. Whatever, I have adopted her and brought her home.

Introducing strange cats to each other is an art form. It is best to minimize stress by keeping a closed door between the cats for a few days. Let them sniff each other's scent and get used to the idea they are not alone. Allow a day or two their sliding paws at each other under the door. That hasn't begun yet. Thus far the new female is still in hide and explore mode. I have put her in my wife's old office and the cat is getting used to not being in a cage.

I left her alone last night, and today I spent a half hour brushing her. She seems grateful and licked my nose. I suspect it has been awhile since she was last brushed as the brush filled up quickly with loose fur. I crumpled a sheet of paper into a ball and she happily was still batting it around the room when I exited. Her first toy and her first thing to do since October.

that on the bottom of your page you see Cs members and the blogs they started..anyone seen these bloggers have not been on CS for years !!!!

It is slowly turning from a hot and windy day, into a sultry night.

The wind is still making it's presence known as it gusts past
the support cables holding up my internet tower. Sometimes
mimicking the sound of a bass violin and other times sounding
like far off thunder.

It's as if the castle is trying to talk to me.

My old dog is curled up at my feet under my desk sleeping the
sleep of the well contented. He's been fed, petted, talked to
and walked. His day is done. He doesn't even need to stand
guard anymore. His reputation in the town is sufficient to give
all potential bad guys second thoughts. So now he rests.

But I am awake.

It is too early to go to my bed. And it is too warm still to be
comfortable. In another couple or three hours it will be cool
enough for the fan to do it's job and let me sleep away the
hours until I can face a new day.

But for now, I am alone with my thoughts.

My mind races and dances with the myriad images of my past.

How did I wind up here, of all places. Was it all just one huge
accident, or is some greater power directing the action...........

I think that I will sit and think. I think that I shall organize my
thoughts. I may even take notes.

But I'll think quietly. I don't want to disturb my old dog.

Just brids

I wouldn't do this.

So lets face it, we've all been to the rodeo a few times. Its always the same, you look through profile pics until you feel nauseas from the irritating sameness that you cant quite put your finger on... Then it becomes clear- majority of women on internet dating have their head tilted slightly to one side. Then the ones with their heads straight ahead look like lesbians or serial killers. However, I'm also wondering if they are less valued by society if they have a kink in their necks. I just dont know any more.

Is that they don't live as long as we do. My pets is my life.
