The first one I know of is happening Sunday at the Hammond Musuem & Japanese Stroll Garden, 28 Deveau Road in North Salem.
There seemed to be a lot of interest in these last fall, so if you know of any, please post the information here. Thanks.
Here’s a photo from last year’s event at Hammond:

I like the two dogs to the right getting to know each other. Details of the event after the jump… Read more of this entry »

Check it out here.

Moving on….Until I continue to get back on track post time off (and my heartbreak, alas) I give you the girls enjoying the start of spring (or summer, as it’s felt like for a couple of days).
As I believe I’ve explained before, my indoor kitties only have my terrace on which to sniff and explore the world. They love it. As soon as they hear the door open, they are there. Here is Stanley. She is saying, can we go out, please, please…. Read more of this entry »

They heal and bounce back quickly, reminding you of what’s important in life. And, as Linda Ellerbee famously said, so it goes…
If you missed the previous post, check it out so you will understand this one.
This is darling Stanley, making me laugh, and saying, “Mom, life goes on. Shall we do a crossword puzzle?”

Thanks baby. P.S. Note to readers. Don’t go looking for the first 623 reasons to love pets. They don’t exist here yet. I just thought it’d be funnier with a higher number. Kinda kills the joke though, huh, explaining it.
Care to submit the first 623? I’ll post them…..

Sigh. I hate this day when it comes. Perhaps some of you P&C readers will be glad that the Rangers season is over and we can get back to regular P&C business. But, hey, what’s you get when the blog runner has cats named Stanley and Cup. Sigh. I am sad. Yes, we lost.
Here is Cup being sad:

She is saying, do not talk to me, do not even look at me. I mean it.

Here is Stanley being sad:

She is saying, Mom, just let me curl up here and cry for a while please.

Stanley and Cup and I will recover (though today I would like them named Fred and Plate to be honest, less reminder). I would just like to give a hearty shout out to my fellow fans (Rangers, I mean, I’m not that egotistical) for stopping by these past few weeks and adding your kitties and comments to this blog.
I hope we stay in touch over the summer….guys, you need something to keep your minds off our pain
I still have the Let’s Go Rangers chant in my head. Girls, it’s time for you to cuddle mum….

Hey folks, if you don’t have plans this Sunday, just wanted to remind you about the Dogswalk Against Cancer at Bear Mountain State Park. You can review all the info here.

Sorry for the late notice, but this was sent to me while I was away. Anyway, there’s still time. This (kind of) just in from the Katonah Bedford Veterinary Center.

Bedford Hills, NY – Katonah Bedford Veterinary Center in Bedford Hills, NY is teaming up with The American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists® (ACVO) to take part in the ACVO/Merial® National Service Dog Eye Exam event, May 4 – 8, 2009. This event will provide free sight-saving eye exams to service dogs throughout New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Registration ends April 29. (How to do so after the jump).

Hey all, this is what I’ve been doing so far today after being off a week:

Yes, I’m digging out of the hole (though technically I guess these guys are digging in the hole, but we here at P&C are not that literal).

Hope to be dug out and cleaned off for more news asap….

The first part of my week off was chores, chores, chores, including, and I know most of you have been through this, the dreaded cleaning out and reorganizing of closets and dressers. Well, I’m thrilled to have it done, but while doing so, little Miss I Must Get Into Everything gave me this photo op:

There is Cup, sniffing around an empty drawer. Thanks sweetie, like I don’t have enough cat hair on everything I own already.

Oh my, does he ever. Just look at these pics. This cat knows he rules. Close up please!

These pictures are courtesy of my fellow Rangers fan (I shan’t give his name away) who goes by CCCP on the Rangers blog. They both are from Odessa. Is the blogosphere not the coolest way to meet people or what?! Here’s another pic of Shibby, followed by more and his story from CCCP after the jump (I asked Shib’s dad for info and he provided. Thanks!) P.S. I call this photo, “I can kick your butt at yoga. Meow.” Read more of this entry »
