    living in the woods in the boonies...... have the tree guy check your property for any dead/diseased trees, so that they do not fall on top of your house or car, and clean up any large tree branches that have fallen over the winter (I have some huge limbs from the 14" snow storm we had last...

    In memory of Misty...

    KingSmith - The way I choose to look at losing a pet (either unexpectedly or having to put it to sleep-I've experienced both) is to try to find the good in the situation. Even though Misty was considered "senior" at 7, and was 15 - it is certainly not unheard of for a cat to live a lot longer...

    In memory of Misty...

    Thank you very much for all your thoughts. Misty was a great cat - one of those who thought the world revolved around her (and there should be no other cats or dogs on earth except for her, and that all humans were here to serve her). It made for an interesting life. She died quickly - only...

    In memory of Misty...

    I'm sad to say that my cat Misty passed away Friday evening. We think it was just old age - she was a couple weeks shy of 15, but in great health. It happened all of a sudden. I will miss her greatly. I still walk through the house expecting her to be waiting for me...in the library, at the...
