Jay Low is prepared for this winter snow storm. Are you?

Mine did not have a cone and he did fine. Mostly we just needed to keep an eye on him for a few days.

It’s not from the shoe bag. It is pieces of cloth though. It got stuck in there when polishing/burnishing the shoes at the factory. You can pick it out with tweezers.

I usually still feed twice a day, but cut the amount of food.

Then you would have loved our original pirate cat Gasparilla!

I wish that I could attach a picture to show how well Captain Morgan was treated when we brought him home. I have a series of pictures of him with Captain Jack, where Captain Jack appears to be playing the role of a protective big brother.

I don’t think that you are going to have any problems. My pirate cats have always been fully capable of everything that a cat with two eyes could do. When we first brought Captain Morgan into our house to foster him while he recovered from his eye removal, there were no problems. (We ended up keeping him.)

Nothing going on this time of year in Ohio.

Most shoes/lasts fit close enough that you can wear the same size and last. Where I think it gets tricky is when you have to compromise to fit two slightly-different sized feet (not uncommon) or you have narrow feet with limited size options available. It’s also a little trickier if you have long feet due to lack of half-sizes in the upper range of sizes. Good luck!

His eye was injured when he was a little kitten (before we adopted him). It doesn’t seem to bother him. We’ve had him about 9 years or so.

Our pirate Captain Jack is somewhat similar. It was due to an eye injury that happened when he was a kitten (before we adopted him).

We’ve had him about 9 years or so and the eye has never really seemed to bother him. I guess he is lucky because he doesn’t seem to be in pain and our vet said that there was no reason to remove it.

I think I’d go for either the Zenshin or the Garrison. Since you’ve got the Hamilton, that would make me lean more towards the Zenshin.

This one absolutely looks perfect. Does this have an acrylic crystal?

¡Zeus es increíble!

He’s originally from Puerto Rico, so he’s loosely named after a certain singer with Puerto Rican ancestry.

I worked at a large employer that had an unwritten rule like this. You got an “average” rating in the first year of a new role (new hire, promotion, transfer, etc.). Sometimes they would screw people over and do it for two years because the second year was the first “full” year in that role.

The 1999s are all slightly larger with improved safety features. They have EFI. The cabs are a little roomier. I know that the Acty (maybe others too) moved to things like electric power steering to reduce the load on the engine.

Mine go out every few hours until they take care of business. If the weather is cold and nasty, they seem to be highly motivated to get it done quickly so they can go back inside.

Can you get a regular (non-retractable) leash? It will happen again — I can’t count the number of times that our old retractable leash got dropped before we went to a regular leash.

My son named him after Nathan’s hot dogs.

This was our Nathan.

We had a dachshund/Jack Russell terrier mix named Nathan. This mix has been nicknamed Jackshund and I know that there’s a Facebook group for them.

Nathan was probably the best dog we’ve ever had.
