the adventures of cindy and larry --alabama

Hi all... Mom and Larry drove to Orange Beach, Alabama to attend mass at the church where Larry's cousin is a priest. They said it was a wonderful mass and it was really nice visiting with him. Mom and larry say it is beautiful there...although rainy and windy today. They are staying at a hotel there overnight. They are on the 5th floor...and was a wind advisory and tornado watch till 5. They closed the beaches, mom had to call me to tell me how high the waves were. I was able to look up the weather for the area for them, tomorrow has highs in the low 60's and sunny-so they are excited.

probably wont here from her again until the 26th or 27th (when their mobile plan transfers over and they get more minutes).

I will update when I know more...


as for things in VA, they are ok. I have been busy with the neighborhood ferals. I trapped again today... I set 6 traps and would check them every 30 to 60 minutes. Didn't have much luck, trapped 3 cats. 2 of which I had already trapped and had spayed and vaccinated (Cookie, the black and white female from Dec, and the little black female from last weekend). then...just as I was starting to pull the traps b/c of the rain I had a third... I put all the other traps in the car before looking at the cat in the trap. I kept my fingers crosses and....SUCCESS! finally a kitty without an eartip! I was able to confirm the gender, a male version of Cookie. He is a cutie pie. I have 4 appointment slots at the SPCA for tuesday. so, I am going to try trapping again tomorrow evening. Also... I am taking the pimp daddy pomeranian dog of the neighborhood in to be neutered. I think he has gotten the female beagle at the house where I am trapping pregnant. This would be his 3rd baby mommy! he gets around!

well...I know it is only 7:15 but I am exhausted, my throat is starting to hurt....so I am going to take some nyquil and call it a night!

the adventures of cindy and larry --florida

To all those following the adventures of cindy and larry and their trip to florida. they are having a good time. they make breakfast in the morning pack a picnic lunch...walk the beaches...drive through the glitzy neighborhoods. they say that by the time they make it back to the apartment they can barely walk up the stairs to the bedroom. haven't called the doc. yet... so no news there.

also...they are going to the library to get online and check email. however - mom didn't realize she wouldn't be able to access her address book. so family (and friends) are welcome to email them at:

Newest Feral

We have an Operation Catnip Clinic this weekend... and the number of cats in our neighborhood seems to be increasing, so I decided to start trapping today. Trapped two cats... one was a repeat from last month, so I released her. This is the one that I have right now. I am calling he/she "Kenobi" in honor of a friends cat, named Obiwan...who just had surgery today to remove bladder/kidney stones. I am really hoping that I have better luck tomorrow. It would be nice to get as many cats spayed/neutered as possible before breeding season starts up again! fingers crossed...
