Happy Veteran's Day, a day late, to all of those who served our country. Was sitting in the screen room late evening and noticed the sky started turning pink and orange.
Snapped this photo with my iPhone from the deck. I call it...

Thought it was time to check in with everyone. Life has been very busy offline lately. I am happy to report that Brendel is about the same. Most nights I am successful at hiding her meds (Gabapentin) in her food. She had a...

I was looking at my profile the other day and realized I passed the 5-year Anniversary date here on 9-13-2023. The first account was a few years before that. I signed up and only stayed a few days.
Lately I have not been here...

Has been awhile since I was here. Brendel is still around but moving slow these days. I have to help her up on chairs now. She is eating most all of her food, with her appetite stimulant. Still sleeping most nights until 4:am or...

Have been taking care of my cat Brendel around the clock lately. Also trying to keep my other cat, the Dude, occupied as well. A full-time job. Brendel has so much going on with her. But she is a survivor, so far. I will try to...

First of all I want to thank each one of you who have reached out to me via email over the last several weeks. I have been spending almost all of my time taking care of Brendel. Not much has changed. Still the loud yowling most...

Stress and worry has started taking a toll it seems. I forget to eat on a good day. And then worrying about my cat Brendel just adds to that forgetfulness.
Have been eating jello, plain rice and toast for the past few days....

For several years Feliway has been available at pet stores, vet hospitals, and online retailers. Classic Feliway is an exact replication of the facial pheromone in cats. And Feliway was first introduced to vets back in 1996.
When...

Visited my neighbor yesterday. He has such a nice memorial garden for his wife and one for his little dog, Oreo that passed. Such a joy to visit with him, always.
I reminded him to stay inside with this heat advisory we are...

Sharing an update on my cousin, who recently turned 59. She has a long list of health issues, including diabetes and heart disease. In April, she was discharged home (after a hospital stay due to blood clots in her heart) with a...

My four B's to catch you all up with. A lot going on this time of year.
First of all, Brendel's vet visit went ok on Monday. She got an antibiotic injection and her labs were somewhat elevated from her last visit in 2021. Her...

I stay concerned about one of my cats, Brendel. She turns 14 soon. I realize it is normal for her to slow down at this age. She has chronic bronchitis and kidney disease.
She did not eat anything yesterday except a couple of...

Bluebird babies are celebrating one week of being alive. They all four seem to be doing well in my backyard bluebird house. It is behind the roses in Dustin's garden.
I have been monitoring twice daily since they were born. The...

Purchased this crimson Hibiscus plant from a local nursery last week. There were two red blooms when I bought it. And many more huge saucer sized red blooms have bloomed since then.
Today, I noticed this yellow bloom. Surprise! I...

Yes! The four bluebird babies have all hatched. I was correct with the date. June 2nd is what I called all along. But you still never know until you see them hatch. They all four seem healthy so far.
In one photo above you can...

Happy to have found a new Hibiscus plant for my deck. Already seeing huge red blooms. Hummingbirds are enjoying. When butterflies arrive in a few weeks, they will visit the nectar as well.
A few of the nurseries were late in...

Visited my neighbor yesterday. He shared more of his wild mint. I grow it in containers in the screen room. My cats love it and I use it in my hot tea. Smells so fresh.
While visiting, he had to show me what is blooming in his...

My Japanese honeysuckle continues to grow each year. It started out as a small 8-inch plant on my back fence around 2007. Now it has covered the entire back section of my fence. So happy to see it flourish. It grows wild here in...

Update on my backyard bluebird eggs. Today there are FIVE eggs in the house. I am still so very excited. The female bluebird lays one egg per day. I go out each morning and check the nest, snapping photos, then quickly close the...

I have been waiting for weeks for the Bluebirds to show up in the house I have for them in Dustin's garden. They come each year, build a nest, lay their eggs, and I am honored to witness the entire process.
But with the weather...
