Meet Muriel! The newest member of our household.

So I work at a vet hospital. A few weeks ago someone came in and was frantic. She said she saw a kitten in the median of the 4 lane highway that runs through our area. She thankfully got it safely into her car but it panicked and in trying to hide got herself lodged in the dashboard of the car. Luckily she showed up during a rare lull and 3 of the techs ran out to the parking lot to help. It took some work but they managed to extract her from the car. Her breathing and heart rate were almost imperceptible but they got her into the treatment room and revived her. The vet on duty gave her a once over and decided she was about 4 weeks old. We got her settled into a cage and the whole staff took turns over the next week or so bottle feeding her. I became pretty attached so once the vet gave the all clear I brought her home. I’ve had her a week or so and she is thriving. She is now almost 3 pounds. You can see some of her whiskers are damaged or missing.

Are you a member of AHS or Regional Member only or none?
Comments (16)Joining the AHS does have lots of benefits. You will be invited to join robins where you can communicate with other people that share your interests. You will receive 4 Daylily Journals annually full of information about daylilies. For your membership fee, you will receive a voucher for free daylilies. You will receive your regional newsletters. You will be placed on the AHS Membership list and unless you exclude your information, you will receive catalogs from the various growers, introducing their newest introductions. I personally have never felt inundated with them. And AHS just started delivering a Newsletter via email; very nicely done I might add. Most of the people that run AHS are volunteers, and they work for AHS because of their love for daylilies and the people that love them. Please give them a little more patience than you would someone doing this for pay. I currently belong to a local club which charges a membership fee. The membership fee barely covers the cost of making an annual yearbook and postage costs. If the local club holds a Flower Show, AHS will support the effort but does require that half the Club members be AHS members. I am considering joining a second club and feel the information I get from the meetings and networking with other members to be invaluable. I have also been able to meet most of the noted hybridizers at the Club meetings. So if you're interested in Daylilies, you can't beat doing both! Ed...See MoreWelcoming new members to our family
Comments (81)Sure arjay! I bought our kitty condo from overstock and am very pleased with it. It was reasonably priced, very easy to assemble and once I attached the bobbles to it, the girls took to it immediately. They love it and use it all the time. Unlike a lot of them this is not covered in carpet, but in fleece which is great as it doesn't rip out or shred like carpet does and it's much softer....See MoreSavings achieved in daily household routine
Comments (83)I could almost have avoided buying radish seed this spring, for there were quite a few radishes about an inch high in the fall, volunteering from the radishes that had gone to seed earlier. There are a good deal many more this spring ... and some from the area where the radishes were, the year before. Anyone want some radish seeds? I have a few lettuce plants starting on their own, as well. Last year had quite a few zucchini from the ones that had spoiled that I threw directly on to the garden rather than into compost ... plus some volunteer tomato plants in a part of the garden where they were not planted, as well. I had about 60 some asparagus plants, last year ... but the landlord nicked some when he ran the tiller down the rows, last summer. And this spring when he did the initial tilling, to chew up the residues from last year and let the chewed up pieces start to rot ... he nicked a fair chunk of one row. Plus some died, I think ... so I think that I have only about half as many plants, now. Quite a few more seeds, so will fill in the blank spaces (but will need to mark them, as they'll need to be transplanted later than the originals). I save some of the first run of cold water out of the hot water tap in the bathroom/kitchen to water the cats, as well as flush the toilet. You guys in the sunny south-west should do a lot of that, cause you sure are short of water. They had a note on the radio the other day that they're worried that the rivers in rather dry Alberta are polluted now, and the flow is largely allocated ... ... so if some of you come wanting us to ship some down the trench between the mountains to California, Arizona, etc. ... we may be tellling you to get lost! The glaciers that feed them have been shrinking ... and if (when?) they die, Calgary may be crying big time for water, themselves. Have yourselves a lovely spring, everyone ... it's getting so that one can drop most of the winter clothing sometimes, in the last few days ... sort of a relief, that. ole joyful...See MoreMeet our new Little (big) Flower!
Comments (8)Annztoo - we found Poppie through one of our local rescues - I've had my eye on her for several weeks and somehow just KNEW she was our baby! Socks- Thank you!! we all love our yard and pool although the "kids" don't like to swim but do a great job playing lifeguard when we are in. We lost our sweet 15 1/2 year old Tasha in July and Sam ( and us) took it really hard. We knew we couldn't wait too long to find him a buddy and it has been SOOO good for him. He lost his precious sister and gained a much adored girlfriend ( grin) He loves to nibble on her - we call it Poppie on the cob and she loves it too....See More
