I have the clearest memory of one summer afternoon in Columbus, MS where we were outside working in the yard & we had the girls with us, they being our Westies Casey & Curley & they were off leash as we were trusting them not to dash off to chase a squirrel when Margi pulled up in this strange pick-up truck, pulled over, opened up the passenger door & Curley ran right for her & jumped in the truck & Margi took off with her. Curley & Margi were very special to each other.

Jacqueline Babbin, a Peabody and Emmy winner, claimed: "I've made my cat a star." Where else could you enjoy yourself so much? The Persian cat owned by Miss Babbin, named Bonkers, frequently visits the studio. He is dropped off at the made-up town of Pine Valley, where he happily expresses himself for nothing more than cab fares and fame. In addition to having a network biography, Bonkers has been referenced in Liz Smith's column and appeared on the cover of a magazine.

Elmo has started to defend me or guard me... at least that's how I perceive it... when my husband tries to kiss me or touch me. He comes up and starts growling and standing in between us. I hope this is not some reactive behavior.

WE JUST FOUND OUR FIRST TICK. It was DISGUSTING and I managed to remove it intact. Poor dog didn't know what was going on and was thinking it's a belly rub time.

For the past hours I've been searching his body for others and didn't find any. Will call the vet just to be safe with some questions. GOD DAMN.

Normally I enjoy FB's "Memories". But, sometimes they can be triggering. Here's what I ran into last night.

BAD NEWS ABOUT HOLLY

I just got a call from Melissa, driving back from the beach, on her way to Pine Lake. This has been the first week our youngest rescue, Holly, has been struggling with kidney disease. She hasn't objected to the low protein diet. But, the vet had added another antibiotic. And, Melissa has just found out from Jane (who has been looking after the dogs for us) that Holly's not doing well. Not wanting to go out, which is unheard of in Holly-Land! Having trouble breathing, Shivering & shaking. It sounds to Melissa & to me like we may have to have Holly "put down" later today. I just cancelled/re-scheduled a doc appt. so that I can be there just in case. Have a good thought for us!

Later, we held her across our laps & read the poem "In Blackwater Woods" by Mary Oliver & then told the vet were ready. 

The end, an excerpt, from IN BLACKWATER WOODS, by Mary Oliver.

To live in this world you must be able to do 3 things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against you knowing your life may depend on it; and when it comes time to let it go, let it go.

I still miss Holly. She was the only dog who enjoyed riding in my convertible with me. Special, shared times.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
    • In fiction there has become an expectation by some that every Black character should represent excellence and perfection. It's not like we are talking about a Tyler Perry show where none of the characters are happy and everyone hates each other with a passion.
    • And on rewatch, I could've done without the unsubtle praising Matt like he was the only one who ever accepted Van as she was...but TPTB and their agendas.  It was totally in character for Vanessa to shut down emotionally until she was alone. While she could be volatile, both she and Henry believed in keeping emotions private.  Thank God it's still Bryan Buffinton in the role for both Henry's and HB's funerals. It just wouldn't have been the same with Ryan Brown, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Roll My Eyes.
