The Bleeding Has Stopped 8/10/07

For anyone out there who has raised a kitten, I know you'll understand. My little Patch (adopted him after taking him to foster at four weeks when his eye was removed at the SPCA due to a severe infection) has decided to be a vicious biter, and, at four months, he's got BIG teeth. I'm an animal communicator, think he'll listen to me? Nope? He purrs and is so sweet until he gets "that" look and attacks. Yesterday, I was trying to put him on the sunporch while catching the blood dripping down my arm where he'd just take a bite of me. What do I do? I've read every technique know to animal lovers and foster cat folks. Most of them I'd already tried. Nothing is working. So, if anyone out there has a new idea, please let me know. The scars are getting too numerous.

I'm about to do my weekly radio show - I sure love that show (as I say every day). Hope everyone has a nice weekend - it's super HOT and HUMID here in Central Virginia.

Nags Head, NC - 8/3/07

Hello. I just returned (last night) after spending a few days in Nags Head, NC - how wonderful to put my feet in the ocean and feel the sea breeze. It's an interesting place to visit and the weather was perfect beach weather. I was visiting my friend, Florence, and her family and we had a wonderful time. The drive (4-5 hours) is a bit much and lots of traffic down around Williamsburg, VA and the Hampton Roads area. A tunnel was blocked on my return trip so that meant sitting perfectly still in traffic for nearly an hour - a lesson in patience, of course, and I got home safely.

It's hard to believe that we're nearing the end of summer - it will be Fall before we know it - maybe we'll keep some warmth around longer than usual. I enjoy all the seasons, but I'm definitely a spring/summer person and it passes too quickly.

I'm been feeling well, and keeping busy. My newest kitty, one-eyed Patch, is doing well (other than biting a bit). He's handsome and loves to play with his toys - actually he takes them and puts them in the dog bed with Missy my 125-pound Newfoundland. He irritates the heck out of her wanting to play. She just ignores him most of the time, but it's cute to watch.

This is a casual, relaxed blog - just like my vacation. I enjoyed my radio show today and just signed a contract for another year. I so look forward to doing the show and finding interesting guests too. I'm heading out for the weekend.
