Feeding time. Alfie waits until the everyone else is done, then comes in and cleans up, so he's out of the picture.

One more time-Is your Post Office still overcharging you?
Comments (18)Hi mmqc! Under the What's New on GW it says this... 2.11.09: Our technical team is currently working on restoring the ability to post on our forums. We appreciate your patience as we work towards a resolution. Has anyone dissected the new rate increase yet as far as what our non-machinable rates should be for various weights? I just searched for it and can't find anything other that the regular First Class letter is going up 2¢. It also said that additional ounces would remain at 17¢. If I remember correctly, last year it was not even published anywhere before the actual day of the raise...maybe a day or two before. I remember asking at a PO just days before the 2008 increase and was told by the clerk that even she was not told exactly what all the increases would be. I guess they just want to get the word out, but don't want people paying the higher rates in error (think? sheesh!) because of potential customer overpaying and then complaining.....like that would ever do any good.

Comments (15)Fun thread. Cute kids and dogs. My youngest is 38. Just lost my cat Lucy in August of 2005 at age 21 and Tasha about age 16 April 25 of this year. This one I felt sorry for and made friends with him. He only seems to trust me, and sneaks up on me when I'm working outside and plops in the dirt near me, doesn't feel threatened by my gardening tools (or camera lol). I thought he was gone for good as he disappeared for a whole week when Tasha died, but she was an indoor cat and didn't like him. I put away his bowl and the food out for the birds. Then there he was again. He's like that. He looks more mature now, he must have been a young cat that summer, homeless, or it is possible he has another home, but I rather doubt it. This photo was taken in August of 2006. When it got cold I scooped him up and made him come in, so he does stay in more when the weather is bad. I named him Sparky and got him his shots....See MoreHug Your Furbabies
Comments (30)Thank you all for your kind words and sentiments. Not sure how DS1 is taking it. He got REALLY angry when we told him what needed to be done. Poor kid. He's 6 in 2 days. He sort of vascillates between angry and goofing about it. He still talks about our 1 dog that we had that got cancer when DS1 was only 2yrs old and had to be put down a few months later. Talks like that dog is still w/ us right there in the room. I'm going to tkae him down to the Kitty Cottage to volunteer petting time to all of the cats that need homes. Then when one strikes his fancy we'll adopt it. It's quiet in the house w/ only 1 dog and 1 cat!...See MoreAnn T., could you post your cinnamon roll recipe again?
Comments (3)Here it is...it's so nice that Ann shares. Cinnamon Rolls (Buns) ===================== From Joy of Baking Dough: 4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose " flour 1 Package active dry yeast 1 Cup milk 1/3 Cup "" butter 1/3 Cup sugar 1/2 Teaspoon salt "3 eggs Filling: 3/4 Cup packed brown"sugar 1/4 Cup all-purpose " flour 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/2 Cup" butter 1/2 Cup light raisins (optional) 1 Tablespoon half-and-half 1 recipe Powdered Sugar Glaze Note: I prefer a Cream Cheese icing. 1/4 cup butter 1 cup cream cheese Cream together and add enough icing/powder sugar to make a creamy icing. Powdered Sugar Glaze: In a bowl stir together 1 1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon light corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and enough halfand- half (1 to 2 tablespoons) to make the glaze thin enough to drizzle over cinnamon rolls. . In a large mixing bowl combine 2 1/4 cups of the flour and the yeast. In a small saucepan heat the milk, the 1/3 cup butter, 1/3 cup sugar, and salt just till warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees)and butter is almost melted, stirring constantly. Add to flour mixture. Add eggs. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups flour as you can. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl, turning once. Cover; let rise in a warm place till double (about 1 - 1 1/2 hours). For filling, combine brown sugar, the 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon. Cut in remaining butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Set aside. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a 12 inch square. Sprinkle filling over dough square; top with raisins (if desired). Roll up jelly-roll style; pinch edges to seal. Slice roll into eight 1 1/2 inch pieces. Arrange dough pieces, cut side up, in a greased 12 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Cover dough loosely with clear plastic wrap, leaving room for rolls to rise. Refrigerate dough for 2 to 24 hours. Uncover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If you are making the cinnamon rolls immediately, dont chill dough. Instead, cover loosely, let dough rise in a warm place till nearly double, about 45 minutes.) Break any surface bubbles with a greased toothpick. Brush dough with a half-and-half. Bake in a 375 degree oven to 25 to 30 minutes or till light brown. If necessary to prevent overbrowning., cover rolls loosely with foil the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking. Remove rolls from oven. Brush again with half-and-half. Cool 5 minutes. Invert onto a baking rack and invert again onto a plate. Can drizzle with Powdered Sugar Glaze. Serve warm. Makes 8 rolls. Nancy...See More

6 years agoLOVE seeing everyone's beloved pets! Some gorgeous cats in these pictures!
Here are pictures of Shimmer and the late Godfrey.
Godfrey was a once in a lifetime dog and the love of my life. I lost this beautiful, dear boy 31 Jan 2017. He was 14 yrs and almost 3 months.
This is my adorable little tricolor girl, Shimmer! She is now 11 and just the sweetest, best little girl. Godfrey was opinionated and demanding and a total glutton and would sneak food if one blinked. She's a far "easier keeper". She's a dear, dear girl.
This is how Shimmer sleeps with me when the room is very cold. The window AC on the Vineyard made the room nicely chilly. She sleeps under the covers with her head right next to my pillow. At home, she has her very own little boudoir pillow. I forgot to take it with me to the Vineyard. Bad mommy! She's quite the little lady.

6 years agoI think Bartelby is a very old soul in a puppy suit. I find him intriguing.
I love all the sweet photos posted on this thread. I "liked" them all - but then I felt awful clicking "like" on the dear ones that have passed on.
Please know that I "liked" them because they loved you, and were loved by you, and the photos are wonderful. I am very sorry so many here have lost their wonderful companions.
And in the "love and be loved" category, here's my own dear heart, Harry, Harry the Perfect, "Iaccus vom Drosselbart." Santa's biggest fan. He loved his jingle bells scrunchy collar. He had an extra prance and swing to his walk when he wore it.

6 years agoI know, I know. It's nauseating to act like you have the only cute pet in the world, but I can't help it. When we have to leave, we barricade one room in the house to keep him from peeing all over. Here he is, looking on, and barks as if to say: , "one day I will be able to jump over anything and everything and you won't be able to stop me"

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoMy friend's dog who passed at age 14 just this week. Maya was such a beauty. It was a heartbreaking loss.
She wrote a poem as a tribute to Maya. Here's a little of it:
You came to me a self-made puppy, not a tiny creature waiting to be
moulded by my will.Your puppiness never took shelter in my love,
You never tucked a small head into my lap or my arms.
You and I were partners. I never owned you, but you stayed near me.
Once on a walk, you hung behind to see if I would wait for you, include
you.I challenged your independence and got in the car, started the motor...
Then realized you were still watching but not moving, not needy.
I stopped and ran to you, rubbed you all over, invited you into my
life.I said I’d never leave you behind, no matter who you were or what you
did.After that, you adopted me.
You grew strong and lithe.
You were vain and knew you were beautiful. You loved to wear a pretty
scarf or necklace.You laid with your paws out in front of you to show off their lovely
markings.You liked to be groomed.
You loved the camera and would pose for photos.

cynic
6 years agoOn the left is KC who, a little over 2 years ago, developed a blood clot that paralyzed one hind leg and while she was being treated at the emergency vet she had congestive heart failure and wasn't able to breathe outside of an oxygen tent so I had to have her put to sleep. Sad story I won't go into now. Last February I met the little 4 month old dude on the right (picture is when he was probably about 6 mo old) and (a long story short) and after a day or two, he came home with me. This is one of his quieter moments or as I call it, in "non-turbo mode". He can be... a little terror at times. Finally starting to settle down a bit. But not much.
