    Judy I think any cat would love that toy. I didnt know what I was getting until I charged it up and turned it on! what a surprise! I was laughing out loud while it bounced around the room. I thought Puss would like the circular track with the balls but he doesn't do much with it...

    i found a couple balls and one is wedged under a sofa and need a tool to reach. Im a good baker but I dont bake that much anymore. used to when we had more "company" dinners but those people have all passed on or moved. so just for DH and myself, too much baking is too much to...

    you would think PT people would have done a better assessment. some people are not going to benefit from PT. waste of their time and hers. we dont have slippery roads here very often but when we do, OMG its crazy. its lost on people that 4WD or AWD will get you going but it wont help...

    we'd hoped to walk somewhere yesterday but was raining earlier than predicted so I later did 20 on the elliptical and all my therapy things and pushups. curls. today its still raining so I did 35 on the treadfdmill and a few upper body things. I watched the core fusion workout. I could do...

    Shannon we ride in a commercial tree farm covering a massive area. they grow douglas firs. they cut sections, then replant so there are huge areas of solid forests and also open clear cut areas. to cut the trees they make roads that are temporary or permanent. the company has...

    Cathe's Knee Replacement

    I am WAY older but am now staring down the same thing. my kneecap is not tracking right and it limits my activity in workouts. still able to hike and ride ok. informing all of us about your procedure and what led up to it certainly gives me new hope and a better attitude toward what I will...

    Carolyn I know people who are absolutely delighted with their knee surgery and also a few who are deeply disappointed. My SIL has had both knees replaced and a recent hip with significant issues. the most current are happy. still not anything I will do without serious consideration...

    Did another park walk this morning for an 1 hr 15. we did it in reverse this morning, and it felt longer but it took the same amount of time. makes sense of course because its hilly but is a circle. its the same loss and gain either way. surprisingly busy in the campground. so warm the...

    we mt biked this morning. our usual place. conditions were not good. its a commercial forest so unfortunately they are logging now right right where we need to start riding. they dont work weekends though. it makes the gravel road a mess and softens the surface. its MUCH harder to ride...

    I lost use of the barbells because DH keeps them loaded with plates. too much work to unload them and then load with what I need, and then repeat the next day. as soon as I unload, he reloads. ugh. at this point I don't want to buy another bar and more plates. I like dumbbells better...

    shannon biking is not complicated! really! the more often you do it the more likely you will have something stop working. look at your bike before something breaks and carry what you need along. it weighs total maybe 2 pounds and fits on a tiny pack on the bike. its like a...

    we rode our neighborhood today on the mt bikes after missing the dry weather window this morning when we could have gone somewhere. was dry after lunch today so 45 minutes. we have one big hill to go up. I cant make it longer or steeper but I try to increase my speed. I can go up it...

    I 100 % agree on the bike. whatever is needed, its way better (and safer) to ride with someone else. things can go wrong, break, tires go flat and its tough if you're by yourself. plus we have a lot of fun riding together. way better if someone can ride back and get the car. its easy to...

    cathy I had ordered one of those circular ball- in- the- track- toys with scratch pad in the center. its comign tomorrow. I got a little ball with a cord attached that charges. it rolls around like a roomba and bounces and flips the cord around at different intervals like a real mouse...

    I haven't given up yet. I bought a toy today and would have gotten more except cat toys were in short supply. trying for interactive things so I don't have to run around with balls rolling under furniture needing retrieval. I do like him but DH is getting pretty short fused about it...

    another very busy day. cat to vet which went fine. figured out he has been peeing in a large houseplant pot instead of his litter box. found dirt on the floor and digging in the pot. Great. hopefully headed that habit off at the beginning. vet suggested getting some interactive toys...
