[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-03-07 Hi everybody! As many of you know, I am having the first of six (ugh!) dental surgeries this afternoon. So if I do not make it in, please enjoy yourselves! And please share pics and anecdotes of your favorite spring clean activities (if you have any...) It’s coming. Really, it is! Time to start getting ready :-) And pooties and woozles are ready to help, when we return after these brief words :-) Welcome to PWB Theme Thursdays! If you’ve never visited or commented in a PWB (Pootie/Woozle/Birdie) diary before, come on in — the water is fine, and the folks are always friendly! A few quick guidelines: No trolling the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul. Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community. When it comes to problems, we may just have someone with experience who can help. So ask! Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly. There is no such thing as stealing a photo around here, but if you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks! ​There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw. *** ATTENTION! A SHORT REQUEST!

If you have any experience with or information on either of those conditions in a feline , please share it in the comments! BMScott, would you be so good as to post a starting comment for responses to Speak2’s questions? Thank you! *** NEWS! For those who missed it yesterday, New Kitty has finally deigned to inform me of her proper name. Please say hello to the marvelous, magnificent, multi-hued Madeleine! Miz Madeleine, the magnificent And now, back to your regularly-scheduled diary :-) *** During spring cleaning, everybody lends a hand. From dishes... Just add pooties! to floors… u pwomist us toona to windows… ...they’re ready to help get things spick and span! Well, mostly… Despite the occasional slacker, though, most animals are eager to help! Heck, some’ll even do laundry: Help put things back in order after houseguests: And even take out the trash. (Well, sort of...)
