i have no way of knowing if the panic has hit here, but i suspect that idiocy is big city.
i get no local news,just a monthly grocery delivery.
it will be a pain if that's disrupted but i can cope.
i pay very well for delivery so i doubt i'll have problems.
my freezer is stocked with meat so i really just get dairy n veggies, but
my garden will be producing soon so i'm set for many months anyway.

A long time ago I told you folks that if I could ever nail down Pepsi long enough for pics I would do so.

12 years ago, my nephew who worked for a vending company found her trapped in an overturned Pepsi machine. She was starving and worm ridden. He brought her to Ruthie who took her to the vet and then nursed her back to health.

Pepsi has remained skittish and afraid of strangers. She follows Ruthie from room to room. She nestles behind Ruthie's pillows while she is gone. She sleeps on Ruthie. It's like watching a champion log roller. Whichever way Ruthie rolls Pepsi stays on. She is ok with me but I am definitely second fiddle. She knows the sound of Ruthie's car and meows at the side door waiting for her to walk in. They are inseparable.

I finally snuck up on her.

Best Regards, Les

les, we'd sure like to hear about that colony you are working with.

 

[Redbert31]

Nice to hear from you on this thread.. May you continue to be able to take care of yourselves and your pets and families as this virus continues to change our lives on a daily basis. There are rumors that CT will be closed down soon like ny. Hope that doesn't happen as that's one step scarier than what's going on already.. Be well my friends and keep in touch [emoji120][emoji120][emoji175][emoji175][emoji240]‍[emoji74]

things are already hard,
imostly shop online,
pasta is no longer available.
worse, neither is flour.
i thot i had 20 lbs of my fav flour but i was wrong.
since i bake all my bread this is a problem.
why do people need all this stuff?
why are they hording?
they are hurting people for no good reason.
king arthur certainly has enow for everyone
for the whole year, but they took it all.

heck, i even had to scramble for cat food.

Well... I guess it's time for a report. I still visit with the kitties every day, and make sure they are fed. I managed to get one male kitty neutered, but by the time I filed for grant money, there were 600 (!!!) applications in ahead of mine, and I was lucky to get one!!!

Here were a few of the little guys a couple of days ago:

Some newer folks have moved into the neighborhood and have sort of adopted some of these guys. Of course most are feral, or only partly domesticated, but they seem to be getting friendly with the folks who live on this dead end street. Not a real good neighborhood, two houses (out of only about 8 or 10 houses all together) have burned down over the last year.

Probably bad news...the reason that I started feeding these guys in the first place was to help take care of a big tough old orange and white Tom cat that was taken in by a girl who had to move to another town and couldn't take him with her. He was an indoor/outdoor kitty, and an inveterate scrapper.

Here he was last summer...I'm probably the only person who could ever pick him up like this, he was not the kind of cat you could pick up!!

Well, I haven't seen him since February 6th. I've checked all the residents in the area, and they all say they haven't seen him around for awhile either. He would sometimes disappear for a few days, probably "courting", but never for this long. But I'll keep looking for him...he might be ok, and eventually come back. Miss the big lug.

Best Regards, Les

Does anyone here know how I delete stored messages from my pm area on Tapatalk for this thread? When I press the message, up comes the suggestion to delete and unfollow. I said yes and the messages went away. I only kept a few of them. Then I put in a new message, pressed send and this came up. I once knew how to do it but have forgotten. Thanks, Linda

Les, I hope the big Tom you're looking for comes back.. Unlikely that he is in someone's home as a pet, so I hope he's a real tough guy and is safe and that he turns up healthy [emoji74][emoji74]

I'm not sure how to get here without Tapatalk.. That's the way I originally found all the forums to begin with. Were you able to get the chew code? I can give it to you here if you don't have it.. I'm going to try what Salty RI suggested
