By Chris, on January 28, 2005, at 11:26 am OK, so in the past when the issue of possibly taking in a foster or two from the shelter came up, I always was against it because I was worried Joy would get attached and we’d end up with another pet. But with this big emptiness in the house after Mojo’s death, and us feeling this strong need to do something good, we decided we’d save little Frodo by taking him in until he was well. He was supposed to have gone back today. Last night when Joy told me that, I started crying…apparently it’s not Joy who is the problem.
At any rate, Frodo woke up this morning with an enormous green eye booger so he (or I?) got a temporary reprieve. But I am not sure I can handle any more fosters after this, I am just unable to keep from becoming attached to anything that comes into this house.

Mr. Frodo came to the shelter where Joy works as a bit of a mystery — he was found as a stray with no collar but had been recently neutered. No one ever came looking for him. He began sneezing and developed a runny eye a few days after his arrival, so we are fostering him until he is well again. He’s a very odd little cat, very vocal — and I don’t mean meowing, he has this little gutteral grumbling language of his own. He was to have gone back to the shelter on Monday but started sneezing again. I am half convinced Joy is putting black pepper in his litterbox.
By Chris, on January 22, 2005, at 11:30 am We had a visitor this morning…
Wednesday looked over briefly and then went back to her breakfast. Apparently the cats have seen this guy before. Only one of his eyes is glowing from the flash because he only has one eye; we recognized him as a cat we saw quite a few months back on the neighbors roof but he has grown since then. He has a cut ear so he must be a feral that was trapped and released — that’s how they mark the ones they’ve already neutered.
Olive ‘visiting’ – it must have been almost like looking at her own reflection. Olive is usually very territorial about stray cats, so again we assume this one has visited before as the cats seemed to know him.
 This is a lousy picture but I thought it was neat how the flash bounced off the window and made Olive’s eyes glow, which in turn showed in the reflection and was caught in the picture. Makes it look like there’s an invisible monster outside.
I shudder to think what sort of strange hits this blog is going to get from Google after I titled this entry ‘peeping tom’ but I couldn’t resist the bad (and somewhat inaccurate since he’s probably neutered) pun.
By Chris, on January 12, 2005, at 7:23 pm This weekend we sat and cried over one of Joy’s favorite dogs at the shelter who was put down for a health issue that was fixable but made her unadoptable, the next morning I drove an hour and bailed a Bull Terrier out of a pound in Greenville, TX with the intention of getting her safely to Bull Terrier Rescue, instead I fell head over heels for the dog, we finally decided to keep her, and then had to send her on to rescue anyway because it wasn’t working out with the cats. We managed to figure out how to take apart our dryer and fix a broken dryer belt, only to find that it wasn’t the only thing broken so we had to call a repair shop anyway (ouch $200). Lets see, what else… I came down with a wicked cold and was out sick from work for two days and Bug got squished between his hamster wheel and shelf in his cage and nearly died last night. Yup, that about covers all of it. I think we need a vacation.
