Daily Thoughts to Live By

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.

Want your dreams to come true? Then you mustn't oversleep.

Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.

The best vitamin for making friends ... B1.

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge.

One thing you can give and still keep ... is your word.

You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.

If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.

One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.

Ideas won't work unless
you do.

Your mind is like a parachute ... it functions only when open.

The Ten Commandments are not multiple choice.

The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime.

It is never too late to become what you might have been.

*******

To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success.
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Passions in Life

Louisiana My Beloved State

image

Louisiana. My home. Front porches and backdoor friends. Backyard patios and cookouts. Over the fence chats. Iced tea and hot, strong coffee. Mint juleps and dandelion tea. Fine wines and cold beer. Spicy food and rich desserts. Red beans and rice. Roux and gumbo. Po-Boys and meat pies. Catfish fries and crawfish boils. Festivals, festivals, and more festivals. Beauty pageants and barge parties. Tea rooms, antique shops, and flea markets. Sharecroppers and plantations. Baseball and football. Pleasure boats and pirogues. Riverboats and gambling. Speedways and horse racing. Mysterious Voodoo and magnificent cathedrals. Fiddles and banjos. Cajun and country music. Jazz and zydeco. Alligators and snakes. Red wasps and fire ants. Singing birds and chirping crickets. Bejeweled dragon flies and flickering lightning bugs. Hovering mosquitos larger than Hueys, swarming Love bugs and buzzing June bugs. Whispered secrets of tall, swaying pines. Thick San Augustine grass. Deep, darkened woods and wide, open pasture lands. Ancient oaks and cypresses gray-bearded with delicate Spanish moss. Clear lakes and steamy swamps. Lazy bayous and rivers. Cotton and sugar cane fields. Heady scents of magnolias, roses, and camillas. Azaleas in almost every yard. Trailing trumpet vines and yellow jasmine. Wisteria and honeysuckle dripping from trees and fences. Dogwood and redbud trees. Poke salad and kudzu. Hot days and sultry nights. Soft rain and violent thunderstorms. Occasional snow and ice storms. Gentle Gulf breezes, hurricanes, tornadoes ... and even earthquakes. Hospitality.

More Louisiana info.

Who I Am

I have nearly 40 years in hands-on animal rescue and advocacy. My husband, Craig, and I are currently owned by 66 rescued cats - most formerly feral and/or special needs, and 5 rescued dogs from Death Row at our local shelter. We sponsor two unadoptable cats from a private shelter in Florida and are deeply involved in many other pet rescue and pet owner responsibility efforts. We maintain a colony of feral cats which we've relocated onto our property. Through our personal and internet lives, we attempt to make a difference for cats and other pets.

Besides having my own domain, Pawprints and Purrs, Inc. (a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization providing an animal educational service to the public), I am the owner of an animal proactive educational message board, Fabulous Felines and Fidos. Would love to have you visit and join us. Susie aka Suse >^..^<

Animal and Secular Work

Animal Advocate, Rescuer, and Feral Cat Care Giver. In the secular world, I'm a Louisiana licensed agent for a major insurance company.

What Gives Me a Measure of Sanity

Cats - LOVE my cats, books - avid reader - LOVE my books, cats, coffee - LOVE my coffee, cats, cooking, cats, counted cross stitch, cats, friends, cats, gardening, cats, collecting old-fashioned Santa and cat figurines. Oh, and did I say cats???

    I am sorry that Sylvester is so ill, but I am glad that Puglena is feeling better. It is not easy to take care of ill pets and it takes a lot of dedication to try to make them feel better. My thoughts are with Sylvester and you. I hope that he gets better soon. image

    And a happy Sunday to you, too, dear TL.
    Our Sylvester is terribly ill. He's developed liver disease. Been fighting hard to get him to eat, but no luck. So I'm force-feeding him, subquing 150cc daily, and poking antibiotics and pills down his throat.
    On the other paw, Puglena is doing much better since her stroke. She's eating and eliminating normally, though still has a slightly awkward gait.
    Nothing like running up a $1200+ vet bill in less than 2 weeks!
    Love and hugs, Suse
