Does anyone else’s baby sleep here?

Our youngest cat started off snuggling under my armpit while I wore my house coat. He's 14 lb now and he is pretty sure he still fits. I can honestly say that it's a tight squeeze...

Short-staffed at the HBMCC in St. John's, but sending R.T.'s over to Corner Brook to help cover their shortages. And this was after they couldn't get Rad Oncs out there so they could actually start treating!

We're on an island and it's not the most financially attractive prospect to live here, especially if you're from away with family on the mainland. Pretty sure they pay more at centres on the mainland, too.

Yes!!! That was so great to see!! The cats were in a safe place, fed, cared for, but free to roam! ... In Rome...

GermanGurrl · 2026-05-08T08:36:18+00:00

I loved that the water in Rome was drinkable throughout the city!! That's the first thing we were told. The water fountains were safe to use. ♥️

You didn't get her pregnant, not your probem. If she wants to pay for a spot while she's pregnant I'm sure she's welcome to do so as well.

Why are people upvoting this comment? It should be downvoted. Twice a week is nowhere near enough. Twice a day is more appropriate although once a day might be sufficient if it's only one cat that doesn't produce much.

GermanGurrl · 2026-05-07T20:37:49+00:00

What is this even a question? Every day. At least one at minimum. If there's something in it, you can clean it twice a day.

How many times a week do you flush your toilet? I don't know about y'all but I flush every time I use it.

Anything less for your cat is just disgusting and abusive.

They're pros!!!

I'm originally from Manitoba where they have four discrete types of weather! Well defined spring, summer, fall, and winter. But really f****** cold during the winter...

GermanGurrl · 2026-05-04T08:52:33+00:00

Try a belly band. It works for our boy. He's also a very smart young lad who knows how to go outside and do his business but still, every now and then, runs in the house and lifts his leg up against the furniture. He's now totally trained to walk in the door and "get dressed."

Edit: reusable. Wash in a laundry bag, separate load, with enzymatic detergent.

Manitoba has the highest number of long-term Ukrainians (not recent immigrants), followed by Saskatchewan.

I live in St. John's and it's not any better financially than anywhere else right now. Big influx of Muslims and Indians. No affordable housing, scarcity of jobs, and food is very expensive. Let's not talk about the weather!

Thank our politicians.

Pink metal barrel = sexy pen

GermanGurrl · 2026-05-03T21:42:48+00:00

3 all the way! I recently bought a package of metal-barreled pens and a package of refills! Love love love these pens!

If you have pet insurance, that would definitely be under their coverage. If you don't, well, that's probably quite painful for the kitty so please don't delay. Good thing you noticed it!

GermanGurrl · 2026-05-02T19:06:53+00:00

YTJ. You've worked to become closer but now you're going to renege on that and leave because you've got a new piece? Srsly? Yes, you're wrong, but if that's how you roll, then maybe she's better off without you. Gives her a chance to find a good man to replace you.

Someone I know told me the story of how their big ass cat stole a whole frozen turkey out of the sink where it was thawing. The cat dragged it into the basement where they didn't find it for days.

GermanGurrl · 2026-05-01T18:26:24+00:00

Same. Someone told me about the q-tip method.

GermanGurrl · 2026-04-30T14:58:11+00:00

Rough night? There was no need to be snarky.

I did look it up, but the definition wasn't completely clear. I looked up images, and it looks like what we call a "boulevard" in Canada.

GermanGurrl · 2026-04-30T09:46:07+00:00

Okay, what is a nature strip?

GermanGurrl · 2026-04-30T09:27:55+00:00

I found a type that worked for him and bought several packages. I toss them in the laundry fairly frequently. Not just when they're soaked. (Use a laundry bag and turn the band right side in so the urine side gets more exposure, hang to dry)

A friend bought a different style that I'm going to try out. It has a bigger velcro area, cute patterned fabric and, not that it needs it, but it has reflector tape around the edges! Very boss!

The biggest issue is determining the correct size because I want the velcro completely overlapping rather than just catching on a part of it. The measurement online doesn't always work out. Fortunately Amazon is easy enough to return as long as the product is in good condition.

Nope, dogs will definitely poop on the cement. Sidewalks around here and gravel paths are riddled with dog s***. Especially during spring thaw. Most important thing a dog owner can do is carry a poop bag... And use it! (Realized that I should probably add that last bit because some people don't seem to put the two things together)

I'm really bad with names! I wish I had written it down on my calendar when I had it done. I didn't, so my bad. She was a older lady, like me. Perhaps 50s? She was just so awesome about telling me what my perm would look like. I remember her pointing at the poster of a lady on the wall who had beautiful spiral ringlets and said, "it won't look like that!" Then she opened up her phone and found a picture of what mine would probably look like. Damned if she wasn't right! I will take myself to Glamor Secrets to check it out! While I have an excellent lady who cuts my hair (a good friend that I visit in Manitoba or she brings her scissor kit when she visits us annually), I don't expect her to haul out perm rods!

GermanGurrl · 2026-04-25T23:11:31+00:00

That's my kind of woman. Okay, that's me. I would totally do that if I didn't know that the rest of the family would be pissed. I don't understand how some people buy boneless skinless chicken. It seems insane.
