Though I would LOVE to have a doggy, there is a big $ deposit for doggys

or cats at our apartments. Only disabled people are eligible at that so

I qualify, but I don't have an extra months rent! Anyway, we have a

little parakeet...and I NEVER thought a birdy would be so much company &

joy. He plays, he sings. He even eats his dinner when we do! And at

8:30 every night he peeps until we put his bedtime sheet over him and

off he goes to sleep. He will be 7 in December, and though his name is

Crackers, I usually call him My Bubby Birdy.

Love to All...

When my children were young, we had the most wonderful puppy...Maxy the

Wonder Dog. He was 1/2 black lab 1/2 Irish Setter. He looked more Lab

- was all black, and probably not the smartest puppy on the planet. But

a big, ol' sweet moose of a dog who loved the kids so much.

If I was having a hard time, I'd go out on our back deck in the middle

of the night. We lived way up in the hills, and could see the lights of

Portland from 30 miles away. I'd hear a klump...klump and there'd be

Maxy. He would come right next to me, put his front paws on the deck

railing and snoodle his big ol' wet nose in the crook of my neck. If

that isn't love, what is. I miss him to this day.

Love...

Ask any child...... " All Dogs Go to Heaven " and I'm sure cats, birds, etc do

too. I couldn't imagine not seeing all of my loved ones there. Jan in CA :=)

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,

that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends,

so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine,

and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;

those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,

just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing;

they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes

when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.

His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers.

Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass,

his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,

you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face;

your hands again caress the beloved head,

and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet,

so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.

My cat, the very same one the doctors told me to get rid of seven

years ago as the " cause " of my reactivities as described in Mold

Warriors, is a " MoldKittyWarrior " .

When we get caught in a plume, she jumps up on me, looking me squarely

in the eye and YOWLS, as if to say " You idiot. What are we doing here? "

She's a great little fuzzy mold avoidance motivator, since I hate to

see my furry pal in pain - so we do what needs to be done.

Meow Cat mews hello to your cat . My cat was a moldwarrior and even with

cancer she

survived 3 years. He would have made it without the mold; he was my best

teacher. Meow

cat was molded out by our creepy landlords and let me know we were NOT going

back.

That building should be burned to the ground.... I just ordered my copy of

" Mold

Warriors " . BTW, I did enter my story in the Boston Globe..I hope it was

coherent. This

group has been terrific and I want to thank all of you for being

here--especially K.C. A

few days my Osteopath called me and wanted to know if she could refer one of her

patients to talk to me. A first-- a doctor calling me for information! I do

have a feeling it

was about a tenant's right to clean air. We don't have those rights.

Your question brought to mind the bearded dragon lizard my son got when

we lived in our house. He was so excited to have her, but poor thing

didn't stand a chance. She never thrived. We went from doctor to

doctor. My daughter even hand fed her--no one could figure out what was

wrong. Of course, she died. Our dog was incredibly " youthful " (vet's

words) for a dog his age when we moved in. He developed canine

cognitive disorder (similar to alzheimer's). We were all too sick to

realize the meaning of his bizarre behavior. He reached the point where

he didn't recognize us and got aggressive.

I am wondering about effects and symptoms other's have noticed in

their cats and dogs.

Does anyone know if it may affect pets more due to their smaller size

and perhaps proximity to floor which may have more allergens on

carpeting especially???

My beautiful dog Chloe suffered with a rare case of a skin type lupus. Her

body was attacking itself. Part of her ear was eaten away. Finally the vet

figured it out. She was on tons of meds. We were able to keep her going

until age 15. I had to put her to sleep last Dec. Now I believe it was due

to my moldy home which i am no longer living in. Our poor animals, it soooo

sucks. But, now we know and maybe can warn others. felice
