貓鎮的小公寓
Where Hui & Little Cat Dwell

[English version] [中文版]

今天負責訓練專門照顧貓咪義工的訓練員是 Scott. Scott 的自我介紹是這樣: 我是 Scott. 我最常被問到的兩個問題是, 我當了多久的義工, 跟我有幾隻貓. 答案是, 七年, 十二隻貓.

訓練結束後有機會跟其他資深的義工聊天. 他們都是在做貓中途的, 有些照顧小小貓, 有些專門照顧生病需要靜養的大貓. 其中一個男生說, 他上個禮拜得把一隻他在照顧的貓帶去安樂死, 因為經過很多的檢查後發現, 除了大小毛病外, 貓咪已經得了癌症.

另外一個貓中途媽媽安慰他說, 大家也都不想這麼做, 但以現在的人力也實在沒有餘力去照顧所有的貓咪. 她還說, Scott 以前做中途的時候曾經帶回家一隻病小貓. 結果當時在他家所有的貓都因為這樣而不合乎被領養的規則了.

後來, Scott 把那一整批貓都留下來了. 一共有十二隻.

Scott is the trainer for “Cat Care Specialist” today. He started the training by answering two questions he said he’s mostly asked: He has been a volunteer at the shelter for seven years, and he owns twelve cats.

I chatted with another long-time volunteer, Luvonne, later during the day, talking about her experience fostering kittens. She shared some stories when a foster dad told her he had to put one of his foster kitty to sleep last week.

She said something about Scott bringing a sick kitten home one time. All of his kitties got ill because of that kitten, and became unadoptable. He ended up keeping all the kitties, all twelve of them

I am only myself.

Who are you?

是內向呢, 還是孤僻?

常常會不想講話.
可跟親近的人話夾子一開就沒完沒了.

會需要自己靜下來想一想;
喜歡跟一二三個投機的同伴天南地北;
討厭跟一群人吱吱喳喳的講不好笑的笑話.

想要安安靜靜的唱歌.

像貓一樣.

可好難哪!

再怎麼努力也很難不去在意別人的眼光.

講完了.

好累喔.

We’re asked to spread the words, so I guess I’ll do my share…

August Hot Summer Days Pet Adoption Fair!

Dozens of dogs, cats & rabbits available for adoption!

There are also pet stuff on sale in the shelter pet store! Do give this poster a look for more details, will ya? ;)

我們家的陽台周圍是不是特別的好睡呢? 繼親愛的小貓在窄窄的窗台上睡著以後, 連鄰居的貓 Samantha 都跑來睡了~

啊? 沒看到嘛? 就那個, 在照片中間, 躺在 ht 的 Japanese Maple 跟我的梔子花之間, 米色米色咖啡色咖啡色的, 那一條嘛… =^.^=

I guess the image of a kitty sleeping underneath a Japanese maple is quite, lovely? ;)

OK, first of all, I am never a big car fan, and my dream car was VW Cabrio, the ultimate chick car.

Unfortunately, they don’t make Cabrio anymore.

So, when you REALLY need to buy a car, you have no idea what you’re going to get except that you kinda sorta want a hybrid, and your boyfriend is a uber Honda fan who dreams of one day owning everything Honda, include a lawn mower, then you will start to go to (or be dragged to) the preview party of the new Honda Civic.

I think we weren’t supposed to take any pictures (Honda’s been really secretive about the new Civic.) But here you go…

Ooooooooo… not bad, eh?

自從看到 Justin 的 “普羅旺斯焗烤蔬菜飯” 就一直覺得哪天也要來做一頓優雅的晚餐. (Carrie 你一定要連到上面那個 link 去看看喔… ;)

鏘鏘!!! :D

Risotto al Granchio e Gamberi

食譜在這裡. 我做出來的跟上面的參考照片有像吧! :D 如果想要翻成中文的話跟我說一聲, 現在的我酒足飯飽翻出來的食譜可能不太能能做成菜來吃. :P

嗯真的該多花點時間常常在家做飯才對. ;)

YUM!

You can find the recipe on Williams Sonoma’s website.

I guess I can consider this a success since my picture looks a lot like the one in the recipe, and it actually tastes good? :D

Maybe I should spend a little less time blogging, and more time cooking. ;)

OK, this is just an experimental (or mendatory) post so that I can claim my “feed” on Odeo.

I guess I’ll put the two studio recorded songs here just for the sake of it. Trust me, they’re nice to listen to. Ask ht, Chris or Jackie, they’ll assure you. ;)

TA DA!

Maybe I’ll write up something else about Podcasting once I figure out what to do with it. ;)

來聽聽我唱歌吧!

雖然這只是一篇為了 claim my Odeo feed 的 post, 但我去朋友錄音室錄的歌真的很好聽喔! 不信問楊, Chris 或 Jackie. ;)

If I don’t respect myself, who will?
