I'm Still Alive

RachandNito · 11-03-2012, 04:47 AM

Hello friends! I am just popping in to say hello! I have been so terribly busy as of late.

For those of you who may be wondering, I have been working as a certified vet tech in an emergency clinic for over a year now. At the beginning of the year, I moved into my own place with my boyfriend and my life is a whole lot less stressful. I'm independant, I have a new car, and things are going great!

So here are some pictures so you all can see what's been up in my life!

Magneto is doing great. His latest fling is with Cindy-Lou. Here I caught them in a mid-lick session. Nito thinks he is in charge of the house but that is not the case...

Winry ZB has taken over the role of "top cat"

Miss prissy pissy pants Chica hasn't changed. Not one bit!

Here she is showing off her glamorous new collar and fashion charm.

This is Dolly. She is my newest foster. There was some serious drama with my last set of fosters and it involves some pretty serious malpractice... I would rather not go into though so let's talk about Dolly. She came in HBC with massive head trauma and she was freaking out. Humane society called her "Feral" and said euth, but we at the emergency clinic wanted to give her a chance so we took her on as our own case. A couple weeks out and she has a crooked jaw but she is eating well and putting on weight and just as sweet as can be. ...and no! I am not keeping her! Do you hear me!? LOL

I got a horse! Ok ok ok, she's not mine. I don't own her but it's pretty much a free lease. The owners can't ride her and she needs exercise so I get to go see her all the time and I love her so much (and she feels the same about me!)

She is super sensitive about bits so I ride her bareback and with a rope hackamore (pictured above) She's an amazing horse and being able to ride again has made my life whole.

Look at this! A friend is making a cartoon portrait of me and my four! I'm so excited!

There you have it! I've been keeping very busy, either working, or riding, or letting my life be run by spoiled cats. I still come on catforum a lot and stalk around I've just been pretty quiet!

Wow! sweet kitties! and.....I love horses, you sure look so gorgeous on horseback, so envious. I like seeing ladies on horseback, so cooool....I can only drool.

Hi Rachael, thanks for checking in. Your cats and horse are drop-dead gorgeous. I love Winry.

Great cat family and pictures. That portrait being painted looks to be an interesting concept. The first pic looks like he's saying, "It's not what you think." (Grin)

WE MISSED YOU!

I'm glad to hear things are going so well for you, that's fantastic!

...you should keep posting! Some of us have missed pictures of your kitties

Welcome back!!@

Thanks everyone!

I certainly am still taking lots of pictures. For the Winry lovers, here is one more!

Greenport ferals · 11-03-2012, 06:33 PM

Awww..my brave girl. Winry is one of the all-time most memorable cats on this forum.

RachandNito · 11-03-2012, 06:47 PM

Aww, thank you! I am sure she would be pleased to know that. She is truly a blessing in my life. And you should see her move! I absolutely adore her and her naughty antics. Just now she pulled a button off my shirt and ran around the room throwing it around! I had to chase her down to retrieve it. She even jumps and spins, though it sometimes looks a bit silly with her funny legs. I'll have to upload some of my recent videos soon <3

It is amazing to hear from you and everyone is looking great. You look wonderful on the horse (I didn't see a name for her?).

RachandNito · 11-03-2012, 08:00 PM

Her name is Roxy
