You can hear her way upstairs?

Kristie · July 6th, 2004, 11:00

when she meows loud enough (like an unruly teenager) - yup!!

it's mostly that I stayed down with her for quite awhile because I could tell she was having a hard time with all the mucous in her nose & sneezing every few minutes... just called the doc and they're going to prescribe the antibiotic without seeing her (WHEW!)...common cat cold! probably nothing more...

and nurse did say they can get it from the vaccine because it's what it's supposed to be preventing....similar to the flu shot, i guess....

actually going to take off from here early to pick it up and check on her...

unfortunately, now we have to keep the other kats away from her, cuz it's contagious...

Doug Taylor · July 6th, 2004, 11:02

Cool. Thinking about the cat sitting in the isolation room alone and not feeling good sucks!

Kristie · July 6th, 2004, 11:10

tell me about it!

Doug Taylor · July 6th, 2004, 11:12

Gah!

And I'm out of time, send me a text message and let me know how it goes

The cat at my FBO was named Piper, good ol' fat cat. She needed a few surgeries here and there though..

Piper passed a few months ago, I didn't get to know her that well though. May she RIP

Her ashes were scattered on the windsock next to the runway, I miss her.

TheShortOne · July 6th, 2004, 14:15

i like r2f's idea...guiness!

you could call her gin (or ginny) for short...

The FBO in Beaumont had a black lab named "taildrager"

He just showed up one day having been beaten severly. We caught him and took him to the vet to get him patched up. His lived at the airport for 8 years.

The crazy thing was he loved running behind a turning propeller, but he never got hit.

Kristie · July 6th, 2004, 15:31

I'll see how she responds to it!

rausda27 · July 6th, 2004, 17:20

She looks like a calico, what about calling her "patches"?

Soooo???????

Is she "Guiness"?????

SteveC · July 7th, 2004, 07:58

Technically, a "Black & Tan" is a Guiness Stout and a Bass Pale Ale.
[ QUOTE ]
(from drinksmixer.com): Fill stein half full with Bass. Next pour Guiness over a spoon slowly until glass is full. If done correctly the Guiness will stay on top and the Bass on bottom hence the name Black & Tan.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, name the kitty "Guinass" or "Bassess"?

ready2fly · July 7th, 2004, 08:48

Smart@ss.

I knew that. yeah... that's the ticket.

[/ QUOTE ]she's not responding to Guiness, Ginny or any beer types at all....hahahaha

and honestly, it just doens't sound right! hahaha sowwy...

so far, she seems to enjoy/look up/respond to patches & peaches....but nothing else has really set in well.

ready2fly · July 7th, 2004, 13:39

Poop.

Kristie · July 7th, 2004, 15:52

EEEWwwwwwww......yeah, you'll be seeing/smelling a lot of that before long! BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHHA...

go wash up now eh?

TheShortOne · July 7th, 2004, 17:50

post some more kitty pictures if you have them!! (or the time haha) too bad about the beer thing...patches is cute though

i still want a kitty...

Kristie · July 8th, 2004, 11:38

well, we decided on Peaches... she kinda sorts answers to it and doug seems to be really taken with the name too...

so - there we go!

yeah.. i just can't see naming a cat after a beer.. especially a girl kat... if it was a boy, well, that might be different and more appropo!!

USMCmech · July 8th, 2004, 11:41

Whenever I finaly get my Old English Mastiff (avg weight 180 lbs) I'm either going to name it "Tiny" or "Mr Bubbles"

Kristie · July 8th, 2004, 11:44

Mr. Bubbles - LOVE it!

we wanted to see how Mr. biggleworth would work, but she's got WAY too much hair for that...

Doug Taylor · July 8th, 2004, 11:46

Kristie · July 8th, 2004, 11:47

NICE! so she's settling down some after being released from "room isolation"?

I_Money · July 9th, 2004, 22:20

I have never had a problem naming animals - I want a race horse called 'C# run' (See Sharp Run).

stuckingfk · July 11th, 2004, 13:38

Hey Doug,

what kind of wireless router do you have? Does it work well? I just moved into a new apt and I probably shouldn't be drilling holes in the walls, so I am looking at getting a Wireless G router.

Does anyone have a recomendation on which router to get? Is the new router that is boosted to get a faster connection worth the extra few bucks?

thanks

MQAAord · July 11th, 2004, 13:44

We've got a D-Link system, and couldn't be happier with it.

Our two desktops are hardwired to it, and we've got a wireless card in our laptop. They all work great.
