Christmas in Tucson

Friday, December 30th, 2005

Tomorrow is our last day in Tucson, and I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I always enjoy seeing Michael’s family and being on vacation, and I don’t want it to end. However, I really really miss my kitties! I think I’ve probably mentioned that to Michael at least once a day while we’ve […]

Not a “real” weekend

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

This last weekend didn’t seem like much of a weekend at all. I woke up Saturday morning and got ready to go to my first volunteer gig at the Lytton Gardens in Palo Alto. I’ve been volunteering there every other Saturday and was paired up with a woman named Olga. Olga is about 82 or […]

MY CAT DOESN’T MATCH MY NEW CARPET
By Steve Purcell
IF you’re thinking of getting a pet this Christmas take a look below at the excuses people use when they abandon their animals at RSPCA centres. Then…think again before you make such a big commitment.

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

I’m happy to post that at today’s adoption fair, we adopted out 7 kitties. Here are pictures of a few of them:

This is Chai, a siamese-tabby mix kitten. She was adopted by a really wonderful couple.

This is dimples. She was previously adopted and was returned because her owner had to move, and her current apartment […]

The sad truth about animal shelters

Monday, December 12th, 2005

I was very sad to hear that this last Wednesday, the San Jose shelter put down over 50 cats—mostly all adults since people never seem to want to adopt adult cats when there are cute kittens available. And this is just a ‘typical’ day at the shelter. I definitely would not feel any better knowing […]

Welcome to Kourtny’s new blah-g!

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

Yes. I decided to change blog templates. I was using blogger.com before, but I felt it was too minimal in terms of functionality.
