Pegi,

My cat " bites " me when I am brushing him but wants me to. He wails at five am

for my husband to feed him. When he wants company, he comes up to the dog bed

that I sleep with and will sneak in the in the corner of a pillow and purrs so

loud as he wants to be part of a pack. He looks like a Russian Blue and his gray

hair is so soft as velvet but he sheds everywhere.

I have my two cairn terriers (Toto dogs) and I do rescue work when I can but

support a local and national agency, it keeps me focused. I too have family

members who think I am a druggie.

My Sister has the same problem your Sister does and I know what you mean if they

have the same problem worse than I do.

Well, you take care and hope your pain is better. I did some work around the

house and I am paying for it so I have to find something to help me sleep.

Take Care.

Tami,

I know what you mean about being careful. My recent fall was because my cairn

terrier was under foot when I was carrying a laundry basket and I did not see

him and I tripped and landed right on my right hip and sacral iliac, and my

physical therapist said I knocked my pelvis out of line. I heard it crack back

in place when she was manipulated it and she gave me home exercises to make sure

it was in alignment.

Two years ago I was going to walk them and the grass was wet and I have

retractable leashes. My dogs were so excited about going to walk, they ran

forward and the leash snapped when the line when all the way out and the jolt

caused me to fall backwards and slid on the wet grass and then feel right on my

back and all the way down. My head, back, legs, and feet really hurt. It knocked

the breath out of me and I know now what that phrase means. I was lying there

not able to get up, catch my breath, with two dogs licking me. My husband

finally came as he saw the door open and took me in. I broke a couple of ribs

and was in bed for awhile. A year later a Doctor had taken some x-rays and told

me that I had broken my Thoracic Spine 9 and did I know it. I then knew I did it

when I fell on my back.

I really have to watch the stairs as they try to run in front of me and I am

afraid of tripping. Even with fear of falling, I love them all and they are

rescues. One had been abused and was going to be put to sleep in three days when

a rescue group pulled her and I adopted her and the other one was walking down

an Airport Freeway in Dallas in between eighteen wheelers. Someone got him to

rescues and I adopted them and the cat was a bus stop rescue as he hung around

my son's bus stop and we took him in. He owns the house.

Thank you for sharing you animal stories. I really enjoy my animals my life is

enriched with them in it.
