That cat is like mmmm sushi.

I love fish, don't try to feed the fish over winter. When it goes cold they sorta hibernate and the food goes bad in their stomachs.

Is that just pet fish, because it is usually warm around here and when fall/winter comes around BAM the bite turns on big time.

Mostly applicable to places where it gets really cold.

For sure we stop feeding when the water hits about 50.
Which happened last month.
That's another reason we are building a winter pen. We want them to grow and it takes forever if you cant feed in the winter. Plus I don't want to buy new plants every year.

That's OK if you are not breeding, they need the cold season to lay eggs though.

Sandy had her surgery.. she did horribly at the vets over night, but seems to be dealing well with her new head piece, and is kind of learning her head is now much wider, although she does keep walking straight into the glass front door with it every single time..

This is one of my favorite shots of my girl at one of our favorite places. She is a rescue originally found in an abandoned house in Brooklyn as a puppy. She then spent the next 2 1/2 years by herself in a cage at the Hempstead animal shelter. She got one 15 min walk once a week.
I have now had her for 4 years and she is the love of my life. Greatest dog anyone could every ask for.

Another of her at her favorite spot.

saturday when we picked her up was awful. they had her sedated, and brought her around while we sat there with her.. got her home, and out of the car was a nightmare.. she was still out of it and a bit combative.. i have a nice new battle scar on my leg from it..
anyhoo, finally get her in the house, and she was still pretty loopy from all of the drugs, and kept trying to stand up and couldn't yet and would fall over.. i had to lay down on the floor with her for like three hours or so with my arm around her to comfort her until she finally snapped out of her haze..

What did they have to do to her racerboy71? You posted somewhere but I still wasn't clear on what the abbreviation was?
Hope she gets better quick.

she tore her acl charface.. i took her with me in the car to go vote on election night, and when she jumped out of the car, she wouldn't walk in all four legs.. she had been kinda limping and favoring the one leg for a few days before that, but i think that's when she really hurt it..
so, she got that tplo surgery.. they cut the one bone in i think the tibia, that's the t part of tplo, then they move the bone a bit to better align the two bones along the axial line, and gave her a new, prosthetic ligament..
