I suspect if its ribs were showing, they get brave and come close to get food. Your little pet raccoon, has it lost its limp completely? Its cute that he seems he knows you always feed him and you’re his friend. God wants us to take care of his animals, I think! (Now, I don’t know about the cayote). He might be afraid of you also, we hope! You may never see him again.

[jaycee]

Found this last night and it tickled me!

[MEG33]

I hope to never see him again..There are neighbor cats that stay out a lot.
My kitty really alerted me when he came by..Instinct told her it was not good!

No limps on any raccoons..My favorite is hard to spot now as I have another female also that stays close when I go out to feed. The male gets too close to me..bumps up against me... and goes after the food big time..I try to avoid going out with him..though he has not ever hurt me.
I yearn to see a baby raccoon but never have here..I have at my daughter’s. They are precious.

God has provided me with a lot of critter watching pleasure here.

[gardengirl]

Sorry it didn’t work for you either, but at least I don’t feel like such a complete idiot! LOL

[MEG33]

LOL!

[jaycee]

Are you telling me you don’t like oysters? LOL~~ I understand a lot of people don’t like oysters!

[jaycee]

Wow, I’m glad I don’t have cayotes! They sound like tough hombres! LOL~~

[jaycee]

Goodnight friends! Sleep well......

[JustAmy]

I’ve never tried them but I don’t like the way they look so I know I don’t like them. ;^ )

I'll Look Forward to Seeing Mr. Mitten's Pics, Amy! : )

Something Wonderful has Happened Here where I Live; Someone has Dumped a Female Dog on my Doorstep, and my Husband Said we May be Able to Keep her!! I haven't had a Pet Since my Sweet Friend, Fang-Face, Departed this Earth a Few Years Back. I will Only be Able to Keep the Dog if she doesn't Bark Much at Night; she's been Here for 2 Nights, and So Far has only Barked a Few Times. She is the Sweetest Dog, and Loves to be Petted and for me to Rub her Tummy. I Dread Tomorrow, though; we are Going to Take her to the Vet to be Fixed, and I Hate to Put her Through it after the Trauma of her being Abandoned by her Former Owners. :( This Morning, when I was Petting her, she just Softly Cried and Cried; it Hurt my Heart. :( But she Also Seems Happy to be Loved Now; I Pray she will be Reasonably Quiet at Night, so I can Keep her!

Good evening, Tulip.
It was great seeing your name in my ping list.
It has been a loooong time.
I closed the original thread in 2005.
I've been missing it for awhile.

Marissa and I are doing fine. She is 8 yrs old; can you believe it?

We have a lot of new people at Amy's Place
and also some of our original cast. ;^ )

How have you been? Are you teaching full time ....
What's going on in your life.
Is Winston still around? If not, did you get another?

Hope you are having a Super Spring.
Don't wait three years to come see us again.

[JustAmy]

Oh .... I hope you get to keep her. Everyone should have a pet to love and be loved. I will be praying that she is not a barker.

We have always had dogs; I don’t know what I would do without one.

I am looking forward to an update on your new best friend.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Dear FRiend! I'll Try to Snap a Pic of her after her Upcoming Adventure with the Vet is Behind her. She's a Cute Little Thing, I Think about Three-Forths Grown. I Found a Pic on the 'Net that Looks Sort of Like her:

I use IE7 and have no problem and, if you think about it, it is most unlikely that Microsoft will have a product of theirs that would not run on their own browser especially as it is a critical product for 99% of all businesses.

Try doing this, go here and:

1. Let it search for and download critical updates for your browser.

2. If you get a fatal error take the option to go to Microsoft, they
    analyse the problem automatically and will tell you if there is
    something, such as a new driver or Service Pack to be downloaded
    and gives you the option to download it.

If you do not automatically get FULL SCREEN ie. no address or toolbars showing, right click, select Full Screen and back up if necessary to the first slide to make sure the music plays.

Good luck!

That doggie is a cutie. I’m so happy that she has found a great home.

We get at least two dogs a year dumped on us. I do not know what type of person would do this. They get a cute puppy and as soon as the cute wears off, they discard it like a pair of worn-out socks.

There is no way we can have more dogs. We have two large ones and that is plenty. Hubby and I can no longer handle them; we are not strong enough.

Now .... they will do almost anything Marissa wants them to do. ;^ )

B> Powerpoint Presentation with music.

BE STRONG

Ser Fuerte, Be Strong, words that in some form or another have been told to children by mothers all over the world. I translated this Presentation from the Spanish but the idea is universal.

For those of you that do not have PowerPoint
the FREE Microsoft PowerPoint Reader can be downloaded from Here or HERE


Click the picture to see the Presentation.
Right click for full screen and to back up to the first slide if the musics stops.

Lovely presentation, Cardhu. The Irish vocalist, Enya, is one of my favorite singers, though inextricably bound, in my mind, to our 9/11 tragedy. Her voice accompanied a particularly moving film memorial of that event, evoking both a longing and a deep sadness.

.

[Cardhu]

It is rather good, I though you ladies would like it and the children shown are real dolls.

*Cardi*

[MEG33]

Beautiful presentation..I love that song but it so reminds me of 911 because of a wonderful tribute done with Enya singing this song.

[MEG33]

She will be a very fortunate dog with you as the owner!
