Jessica hogging my desk chair
I had a really good reason for not blogging today…Jessica was hogging my desk chair! Okay, yes, I could have used my MacBook, but in reality I was busy doing a bunch of house stuff that had been neglected the last couple of weekends due to vacation and many, many other things.
I also have to get ready for my trip next week, as the way my memory has been lately, I want to make sure I am not rushed to pack, or who know what I’ll end up forgetting!
Speaking of pets, I am not a fan of Jessica Simpson, but my heart does go out to her for the horrible loss of her dog, Daisy, who was snatched by a coyote right in front of her. It would be unbelievable to me to have anything happen to Jessica.
We have raccoon problems in Berkeley, and I am always terrified that something will happen to her. She is an indoor cat, but we let her out on our back terrace. I used to let her out in the morning when I was getting ready for work, but that was before I realized that raccoons were still out, and in fact nearly missed letting her out while there was one in our back yard.
So if you have a pet, give them an extra hug today and be thankful they are still there to love you back!

I live in the San Fernando Valley in the Los Angeles area and coyotes are a really big problem as far as pets are concerned. One of my friends lost 2 cats and a dog to coyotes in broad daylight in her backyard. I used to always see them when I dropped my daughter off at school….My heart goes out to anyone that loses a pet, no matter how….Give your baby lots of love!
Coyotes can be a serious problem. My mother’s previous dog was attacked by one, but survived because mom’s boyfriend saw it and scared the coyote off. The vet couldn’t believe the dog was so minimally injured.
Raccoons can be pretty nasty too. Same dog one time was going nuts because he say the raccoons in the yard eating from his food dish. Next morning went out and *ahem* “marked” his food dish. Pretty funny and so glad I didn’t have to be the one cleaning it out.
But those raccoons came back the next night, mom didn’t see them when she let the dog out one last time, and those raccoons beat him up pretty badly. The poor dog was stiff for days.
On a lighter note, you’re right. Can’t reclaim the chair when the cat is using it.
Hi Andi…I can tell you are a cat love and love your Jessica
She is a pretty girl! Thanks for your comments on our little ferals (I accidentally hit the wrong button and deleted your last comment…sorry!). Yes, they have an appointment to be spayed/neutered and otherwise treated, and I am going to try to get them adopted, as they are quite socialized now, but I cannot have them in the house we are about to sell! We too have raccoons in the yard, and just the other day had to shoo this giant raccoon away from the kittie dishes. Little Curly (have not gotten a good pic of him yet) was within feet of this giant, but they hardly looked at one another. But if the raccoon was really hungry and/or aggressive, there could be a fight for food. I have also been trying to get other neighbors to take some share of responsibility, as the kitties sleep in someone else’s yard, but that’s been a struggle. I just couldn’t let them go hungry, and don’t worry, if they don’t get adopted I’ll make sure they have a warm dry place to sleep this winter
