Anecdotes and/or pics of your pets? Maybe of interrupting your lego work or other

Hi John. The cats in the public viewing room, sitting on used pillows and beds,
have already been cleared for adoption. Most likely, they were waiting in the
backroom at one point. Glass half-full, some of the cats you saw eventually found
a loving home. And as far as shelter employees are concerned, a kind expression
is a false hope. Don't take it personally. I've seen adoption fees drop
to $60, but it's not a free clinic.

What a beautiful story, Cory. Sounds like you gave that badger biter the time
of his life. 
Before moving, I'd visit a humane society that served as a hub for all shelters
in the valley. I loved the high-energy kennel with the biggest dogs you're
allowed to walk, but also walk the smaller dogs for a quick bowel movement in
parking lot bushes, a block or two. This fat roly-poly kinda thing caught my
eye one day, and we'd walk a little longer every time I stopped by. I guess
he was too fat, because one of the vet-techs told me he'd been put down not
transferred. What a crap day. Sometimes think about whether I would've been
allowed to start a 10 day-hold and other what-ifs. At the end of the day it's
easier just to shrug and say "damn you, world!"

It angers me that people seem so uncaring when it comes to domesticated animals.
While I do not have dogs and do not rescue them (have done three in the last
7 years), when I look into their eyes at the Humane Society I see a longing to
have freedom from the pens and to have someone to love that loves them. We have
four new little kitties coming to eat at night (We feed about 8-10 feral cats.)
They get there early so that they have something to eat. Some of the feral
cats seem to bring them one at a time to eat. Goldilocks, who looks like see
is going to die any day now (has looked that way for over two years now) seems
to bring a couple of them. Not sure what to do, if I try to capture one in a
trap I am afraid that the others will not come to eat.
But back to what I started to post about; never go to a shelter to look around
their back rooms. I was looking for a missing outdoor cat and looked in the
shelters "death" room. 80 to 90 cats waiting to be put down. I could never
go back into that room. It still affects me. I asked if I could take some home
and they said sure, but I would have to pay 130-150 dollars for each one. I

First, thank you so much for caring for those babies, if not for you many of
them probably wouldn't survive.
Wanted to make a suggestion since you said you have new kittys. Most states
have free catch and release programs. They'll trap them, spay/neuter, vaccinate
and provide medical care if needed, then set them free where they initially trapped
them. Not the ideal solution by any means, but it does help break the cycle.
Plus, in the case of very young kittens, they often go to rescues and onto good
homes instead of being re-released. Might be worth looking into in your area.
They might be a little frightened, and/or miss a meal or two, but they'll
recover very quickly and be much healthier and better off in the long run. As
I said earlier, these programs are completely free.

Personally I am opposite, I prefer and use on site message system, I don’t check
the email box that messages go to regularly as it’s full of notifications that
I don’t need to read.
Besides using the message system you can see if your sent message has been read.
Also in event of dispute it will be easier to present your case.

I agree. There may be occasions when you need to do something different but
in most cases the bricklink contact system works as it should. As an old military/security
kind of guy if I am discussing a possible problem with a buyer or seller I guess
I'd rather err on the side of caution. My own phobia/train of thought quickly
leads me to "why don't they want bricklink to have a record of this conversation?"

| Other (non-Lego related) websites with messaging capabilities follow that same
reasing. However, those systems allow a user to reply to emails using the preferred
mail client (Outlook, Gmail, ...). The mail gets processed by the site and is
displayed in the mail/message thread.
Basically I don't really care if the mail is getting processed by BL. I do
care that I just can't do a Reply on an email in my mailbox (with or without
an attachment).

| We encourage people to use the onsite messaging system when discussing order-related
things, because it is something we can see on our end if there is a dispute.
I know it's a pain to not be able to send attachments, but for us it's
better than having everything done offsite.

| I would like to see the simple option to auto-fill the "my cost" during part-setting.
Other fields auto-fill (6 months average-sales of the option to use old remarks,
etc., even old/new average "my cost").
When I am part-setting I like to keep count of the average part-cost. When part-setting
bigger sets I will have to fill these out (copy/paste) 300-400 times, depending
on the lot-count. Absolutely killing my motivation. If I can choose one number
on the first part-out screen, it can be filled-out in the overview. Some lots
I change (baseplates/minifigs/stickersheet are not 6-7 eurocents "cost", but
| | 90% of the lots gets the same number.
|
I can;t imagine no one has had the idea to implement this before.
Kind regards,
Remko

At the time we were asked to take care of him, we were living in Southern Utah
in and around Zion National Park. Our lives during those years were, to say the
least, adventurous. We were trekking, hiking and climbing just about every area
we could reach. Our friends knew this, when they asked us to care of Oscar. I
told them I would think on it. I worried a dog would just not fit our adventurous
life style at the time. Certainly, such a small dog could not hang with us on
our back country treks, I thought.
But, we really wanted to help Jim and Gloria out, and didn’t want to see Oscar
spend a year in doggy prison (hotel) so we agreed to take the responsibility.
Well, it turned out that Oscar with his stubby legs, was one hell of a adventurer!
He hung with us EVERYWHERE. When it came to climbing, his shape fit perfectly
into my climbing-pack with just his head sticking out, and he didn’t seem to
mind just enjoying the view while I struggled 
He was overweight when they left him with us, and by the time they returned they
had half the dachshund they had left us with. Oscar really got into shape that
year! He simply loved the outdoors life!
Now here’s the sad part. When Jim and Gloria returned, we left to spend a year
in Stockholm. They told us that Oscar would go everyday to the front door of
our cottage and sit, waiting for us to open the door for him. I guess it’s true,
dogs don’t have the same concept of time, because we were told he did this throughout
the entire year my kids and I were gone.
It remains one of the saddest thoughts in my long life thinking about this. Even
as I type it, tears flow. Silly!
This is not a pic we took. It is the last pic of our friend, Jim and Gloria took
that they sent to us a couple of years later, just before he passed away...

Captain Q approves.
Here are two kittens I am keeping of a 4 kitten litter I saved from living a
life as feral cats; named Tenshi and Quark. I found them while feeding some
feral cats. They were too young to capture right away, around 5 weeks, so I
pre-socialized them on the outside with wet food and playing with a cat favorite
toy, the fake bird on a string and stick. Had to do it at night as apartment
management disapproves of feeding the feral cats. Took some night vision video,
that I have not gotten around to editing yet.
Just noticed that the picture is rotated the wrong way, will leave it as is,
because it amuses me.
Regards,
Captain Q

pre-socialized them on the outside with wet food and playing with a cat favorite
toy, the fake bird on a string and stick.

That's awesome!

management disapproves of feeding the feral cats.

We won't tell! I signed something once, to encourage local spay & neuter
programs over a candlelit spaghetti dinner for frisky furballs, but

I would really like to see more pics of our member’s pet. What do you think about
showing or introduce your animal companion to the BL membership here on the forum?
I suggest a new forum subtopic, under Off Topic: Pets
Anecdotes and/or pics of your pets? Maybe of interrupting your lego work or other
mischief. Or just an introduction of your nonhuman companion, new or old. What
your pet did today
Even though we don't have furry companions (son's allergies) we really
enjoy animal pics and stories. Think most do, evidenced by it's popularity
on youtube.
What do think? Think there is enough interest to warrant a sub-topic in the forum?

Captain Q approves.
Here are two kittens I am keeping of a 4 kitten litter I saved from living a
life as feral cats; named Tenshi and Quark. I found them while feeding some
feral cats. They were too young to capture right away, around 5 weeks, so I
pre-socialized them on the outside with wet food and playing with a cat favorite
toy, the fake bird on a string and stick. Had to do it at night as apartment
management disapproves of feeding the feral cats. Took some night vision video,
that I have not gotten around to editing yet.
Just noticed that the picture is rotated the wrong way, will leave it as is,
because it amuses me.
Regards,
Captain Q

my ID pic (just much older).
Here's one for John:

He could be a goofball sometimes but he will be missed. We probably will not

This was the longest I have ever had a dog (we also had a cat for almost 12 years
as well).
We still have three cats and assorted reptiles and amphibians in our house!
Our two black cats were rescues from the shelter when they were kittens. They
are supposed to belong to my teen daughter but they follow me around the house
and sleep on my bed!
Pets can be a lot of work, but they are nice to have around!

So sorry for the loss of your pet. Or should I say family member. Death
touches all in different ways. When it comes to a pet it lingers with you for
ever. But time does help to think of the companionship and the love between
the two of you and what was added to your life.
