Re: Rocky renamed.
"Brimstone"? Hey... I LIKE IT! :) And it even anagrams well into the following people-type names:Ben Mortis
Mort Ibsen
Tom Brines
Tim Berson
Bret SimonAnd also: "Tomb-Risen", which makes a cool name for a rock band! :)Now I've just got to convince John that "Brimstone" is a cool name for the little guy, as John's not too keen on it.-- Nanaea

NanaeaJust tell him it's better than this name: Fufu. I swear I had to deal with a rottweiler with that name (no wonder he tried to do me in, and all I did was walk past him.) Maybe I should try to convince his owner to change his (the owner's) name to perhaps Canine Chow? Or perhaps Liverwurst?BTW, Fufu are African yam puffs.Phyllis

Now, I can see someone naming a badass rottweiler "Mofo" -- but *Fufu*? I wouldn't even pin a name like that on one of my little miniature pinschers -- the indignity of such a name can turn a good dog BAD. :)We've had to discard "Brimstone" as a possible new name for "Rocky", because John just couldn't warm up to it. We may even be adopting Rocky out -- we're still undecided. Today he gets his final veterinary checkup before we can certify him to be ready for a new home, and we'll probably decide then.It's always rough giving up one of these little guys -- which is probably why we wound up with so many. But if we don't adopt them out to good homes, then we won't be able to take in others in need of rescue. Ah well! :)-- Nanaea

NanaeaI can empathize. I'm helping care for a feral cat colony, and I wish I could adopt every cat I've encountered, but... :) I wish some of the *people* who buy or adopt kittens or cats would remember all the care that these wonderful *furry people* require as they get older and no longer *cute*, as well as making sure every member of the *fur squad* has a loving home. I admit that they (the feral colony members) have a place, but some of them were just thrown out like yesterday's garbage. Two of the members are probably purebred pets, but I don't know. If I can get my hands on their former *owner*, ffa. ;) Some of the felines come right up to people, so they were pets at some time, not familiar with *street*. I think you can understand, Nanaea (unfortunately).Phyllis

NanaeaI thought you might like an update on "my" feral colony.
Milk Chocolate (a Siamese) got her very own cart last Thursday. Some jerk shot her while I was away and she's now paralized. She seems to be coping with the contraption, racing around the vet's office. The person who shot her should be grateful I wasn't there when s/he did it. I would've used buckshot on him/her. She (Milk Chocolate) and the other purebred might be adopted by one of the other clients at the vet (if not the vet herself).
What are the ramefications of a few curses placed on people who willingly abuse defenseless animals? (I was thinking also about a puppy that somebody hung [in a tree with a shoelace] around St. Patrick's Day. His name is Paddy, and he's doing fine now.)Phyllis

"What are the ramefications of a few curses placed on people who willingly abuse defenseless animals?"@@@@ That person has just bought him/herself a shitload of negative energy from Yours Truly. And, being a Satanist rather than a Wiccan, I have absolutely NO hesitations or ethical "brakes" brought on by any beliefs that the things I do will come back at me "threefold".When I get truly angry, I am viciousness unleashed. No joke.-- Nanaea

NanaeaI was thinking about the *three by three* where one gets it back not just threefold, but ninefold. That's what worries me. If I got back ninefold what I'm thinking of, well, let's just say that it won't be even remotely pretty.
By the way, Milk Chocolate has a new home. The vet adopted her and three of the other members of the colony. We're trying to find her last litter and reunite the whole family. Luckily, only three kittens.Phyllis

NanaeaI metaphorically said *screw it* and sent what I call a "ten to tenth" ("sending" the pond scum everything they sent back ten to the tenth power, and anything else they do negative will return to them ten to the tenth power). I have it attached to the colony.
The kittens are with their mother, but another cat joined the colony. Thrown out like trash, but the "ten to tenth" is floating around, waiting for the cat's former human companion.Phyllis (Sidhe Uaine aka Mad As Satan's Abode)
