Smartie's Bar & Grill

[MMC]

Well at least it has moved out of the sun......I have some decking that is leaning up against the fence. So it has moved backed behind it in the corner.

Called two shelters.....they don't know of anyone other than Animal control. Which I don't think it will make it thru that process. I moved the water bowl closer to it again.....which it drank some more. Still wont eat anything. Cereal or wetfood.

 

[Smartmouthwoman]

Aww, sorry sweetie. Maybe you could call your vet and see what they suggest.

Poor kitty.

edit: guess you already tried that.

Yeah I have tried, everyone says call animal control. Which then it meets its end for sure. I even tried to give it a couple kitty snacks. Wont even eat those. So I know something is up with her/him. Let me pet it, and meows couple of times. Then just lays there. Its not scared and it knows it can leave when I walk away. It has the whole half of yard to move before I could get over there. Still I let it know its okay.....she or he wont go alone.

I might go with a lil milk.....might be its last time to have some things it likes.

Damn.....I got a hurt kitty in my backyard. My Pup chased it into the corner up by the house. Older Kitty too. Siamese blue eyes too. I was hoping it would leave. But it hasn't. Its just laying in the corner. Right under the Sun. Where it is all hot. I have kept the pup in and away from it.

Been like over an hour. So I took it some water which it let me get up close to put the water down next to it. I think it is hurt. Wish there was some place that they come out and pick her/him up. It could be real old too. It drank the water.....but wouldn't eat the lil wet food I put out there for it. Sounds older from the meow it makes. It wants to get thru the fence but the slots aren't big enough. I don't like to see animals hurting either.

To make mattesr worse.....my step son has my car and is at school. Won't be back until like 7 pm. Which will be around the time the OL gets home.

I just went and checked again. Still there.....lets me get up close now. Let me touch its head.....but just lays there.

Oh poor kitty. I hope you can help it.

 

[MMC]

Yep.....the milk worked. Didn't drink all of it but got a good amount. I just wish it wouldn't lay there in the corner. I don't want to see it getting all dirty and having bugs crawl around on her.

Might have to break out the parka and some gloves to see if it I can move it to a better spot. Its going to rain tonight. She could stay under the deck of the house and not get wet.

Its a funny thing.....I have always wanted a Siamese cat. But I always ended up with a saved pet. Which my baby is a tortie. Now here I have one that comes to my place and is ready to pass on. No tag or collar either. She is thin as a rail and for now doesn't want to move much. Other than to hide away.

That is so sad.

You are a good man.

 

[MMC]

Well I have done what I can for the old girl.....got her a spot under the house's overhang. Which is low to the ground. She wont be getting Wet. Nor be having any bugs crawling on or around her. I laid down a board with a couple of old bathroom rugs on it. Put up a couple of boards for the sides so she is like in a box. Its been sometime and she hasn't had the energy or hasn't felt like running away. Not that she can run fast. Still hasn't eaten anything. But she has been drinking the water. She has room to move if she wants and a way out all along to the front of the house. If she wants to leave.

Morning, V! Sounds like a busy day. Sure wish we had smell a vision here... bet your kitchen is gonna smell like heaven later on!

Good evening Smartie. Yep it's been busy. Still making zucchini nut bread. My gosh, I'm gonna run out of flour before I run out of zucchini. That zucchini was a monster. The second batch is just about ready to come out of the oven. The first four loaves have raisins and walnuts. The last two will have extra walnuts cause I'm out o raisins. . The spaghetti sauce took a good part of the day. I had to blanche about 30 some tomatoes in boiling water then put them in a cold bath of water to remove their skins and chop them up. While that was going on, I had onions, sliced mini portabellas and about 7 nice garlic cloves (minced) sautéing in olive oil. I used fresh oregano, parsley and basil from my garden to season. Salt and fresh black pepper of course. The sauce had to simmer and reduce for 1 1/2 hours. In the meantime I made meatballs and once they were lightly browned added them to the sauce to simmer another 1 1/2 hours. It rocked Smartie. I froze one container of sauce for another day and there's leftovers for tomorrow.

 

[Meadowlark]

A day in the sun eh ML.

It will be hot outside they say.....I take it you will be showing some ski uhm I mean wearing shorts while ya working outside, huh?

Good Evening MMC

Was a long day out in the yard, I decided to be smart and cover up the gams keeping the suns harmful rays away. I save the shorts for the days when I'm in the shade working, or in the sun for very little time. But was a productive day...Whew...

 

[vesper]

Mornin V.

They changed ours to. We will be partly sunny and cloudy, temp around 77 for high. Good like that until tonight.....when the rain comes back to dump some more on us.

I have some painting to get done to. But that wont happen until it clears out for a couple days. So far I am ahead of schedule for getting the house ready for winter. The OL doesn't get into gardening much anymore. The last couple years.....only put out flowers in a few pots and decors we have. A few accents here and there.

Good Evening MMC. I don't think the weather people know what they are talking about. The rain didn't show up today until 5:00. Oh well, hope you had a good day.

Greetings, Vesper. :2wave:

When people ask you why you go to all that work when you can just go to the store and buy a jar of spaghetti sauce - what do you tell them? I have my own response, but I am curious what other folks say. :lol:

My response is, "if you have ever tasted homemade, you wouldn't be asking that question."

She picked the right house, with the right guy to care for her while she rests. You've done a great thing taking the extra steps to make her comfortable, kudos!

At least she is being hydrated, can only hope she decides to eat some of the food you provided for her (crosses fingers)

Morning Vesper,

Amazing how the 'to do list' is always full of items to attend to, happiness is owning a home. But your cooking skills are the most important and being generous giving away zucchini nut bread, oh yummm! Have a great day.

Thank you Meadowlark, Hope you had a good day as well.

Evening Pol!

Good one! I've used "well mine doesn't have all the preservatives and god knows what else ends up in theirs. I know mine is safe to eat." It does make people think.... :lol:

I love Kenny Rogers, but this one is a particular favorite, even though it's so sad! Thanks for posting it. :thumbs:

Oh My, I'm jealous and nearly drooling at the thought of the fresh yummy sauce and zucchini nut bread!

Yes you did ROCK!

Good morning everybody. It is chili roasting season in our part of the world and the wonderful smells of roasting chili waft in and out all over town. Hard to believe that counting today, there are only five days left of August. Already thinking about getting the fall/winter duds out in another 30 days after an unusually mild summer for us. I wonder what winter has in store?

Hi AlbqOwl,

Just the mention of chili makes me go yummm...Soon I'll have a big pot on the stove simmering away, we love it! Fall is around the corner but hope it waits, I'm not ready for summer to be over yet..

 

[vesper]

That's true Pol! Today hubby pulled up the tomato and cucumber plants from the garden. They were done producing. I have about 30 more tomatoes to find something to do with. I have a juicer. Think I'll make a pitcher of fresh tomato juice. Bloody Mary's anyone?

Sounds like a wonderful way to use up those tomatoes! :applaud: Yep, I'll have one! :cheers:

Mornin' those of the Strange Brews.

Today is a good day.....and I am feeling pretty good this morning. As I have been checking on my guest and I am happy to report that she is doing much better.

She has eaten the food I gave her. All of it.....Which was cereal of the Friskies brand. Has been drinking the water too.

Before I crashed out.....I ended up putting an old blanket in there around her. She let me hold her as I set it up so she could wrap herself in the blanket or on it. Which this morning when I got home from work I checked and seen she had set up so she can lay her head like on a part of the blanket, like a pillow. She responds to girl.....anytime you say girl she looks Right up at ya. So she must have been a house cat before. Although I think it has been sometime since she seen those days.

Still I am so happy she is doing this good. I had knocked all the dirt off her and chased off any bugs. Then to see she cleaned herself up.....was great. Wish I could keep her but I can't. We did get a hold of Shelter that wont put them to sleep or take them out. So today when the OL gets home. She will be taken to this shelter. Which we made sure they will be about taking care of her. I am glad The lady I talked was encouraging and genuinely concerned. She assured me they will make sure she is in no pain and is alright. Even if she is old.

Good Morning MMC

What a great way to start the day seeing Miss Kitty improving and getting a bit stronger. Glad you were able to find a no kill shelter to take good care of her, and hopefully she will get a new home soon considering how gentle she is.

Have a wonderful day!

Done producing eh.....I didn't know Eyetalian Tomatoes ever stopped producing.

Well, not until age 50 or older.

Good Morning everyone!

It's a pleasant day here so far, got up early to get some things started on my to do list.
Never enough time to get it all done but nice when you can cross items off the list.

Have a terrific Thursday
