We have no intention of letting him roam outside unrestricted. In fact, he has no interest in going outside unless we are outside & he's always within eye sight. We will definitely keep his outside time limited. Can't wait to he sees snow for the first time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really come across the concept of indoor cats before, except maybe in cities in flats. Maybe because we don't really have any predators here. Maybe fox's 🤷♀️ Our last cat was bitten by another neighbourhood cat and caught cat aids when we moved house, but survived to a reasonable age. Since we've had dogs we haven't had any more cats Edited October 10, 2022 by sgmn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we've had dogs we haven't had any more cats I am the same Sue and didn't realise there was house cats. My late dad worked in the shipyards where there was always lots of stray cats and he brought kittens home on a few occasions when I was a child. We also got cats and dogs from the animal rescue places when my brother and I were teenagers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted October 10, 2022 #73858 Share Posted October 10, 2022 We picked up the grandkids yesterday. Cookies were made, but they will be icing and decorating them today. No school for them today. Columbus Day holiday. We booked a hotel room for the night, so they could enjoy some indoor pool and hot tub time. Had the pool all to ourselves last night, and they will be doing more swimming this morning before checkout. Me? I am off to pick up our daughter and take her to chemo treatment and other appointments today. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps you from bending way down though, so that is great. Our beds are 18 to 20 inches deep. Using core gardening system does cut down on the amount of soil. I have a composter bin that I use year round, that helps too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our property is sloped so I have to build up one side to level it out. The shallow end is about 12 to 14 inches deep. Yes it takes extra dirt but I had now choice. The end with 3 stacked is actually harder to work. When the tomatoes grow over 8 feet tall there is almost an extra 2 feet to reach up so to get to the higher tomatoes I have to step up on the blocks and balance on them to reach. I made them out of blocks because wood got so costly it cost about the same to use block. The blocks will last so much longer. I also like the holes in the blocks. I grow basil and marigolds in them. It is a lot harder to build with blocks because you have to be so careful to keep it level all the way around. I have the same issue with a slope at the back side of my garden. Not always easy for me to reach so it helps to be married to someone that is 6'3" with arms longer than mine. Mine is wood but after 10+ years of having beds there are some weak sides that are starting to push out slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would matter in what order the Mets pitched. 1 hit in this game & only 1 run scored in the 2 loses combined. Not gonna get the job done.

Making notes of all your gkids ideas as ours grow Susan and the grandkids stayed at our house. I went back and stayed at the hotel, because I had to get up early to take our daughter. That way I wouldn’t disturb them getting ready. I think their plan is yo go have breakfast at the hotel and swim this morning. There is a pretty good breakfast there. I am glad I could grab some food for the road. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, he has no interest in going outside unless we are outside & he's always within eye sight. We will definitely keep his outside time limited. Can't wait to he sees snow for the first time. It is true that indoor cats tend to live longer. Of course where you live, and the predators that also live there, needs to be considered. Also realize that though he may seem timid of the new surrounding now, as he becomes more comfortable with the outside world you may find it harder to keep him inside. If his predator instincts kick in he is going to want to go hunting. Then there is the issue of roads and cars.... If you truly set on giving him some outside time maybe consider a harness and leash as you are never going to catch a cat that doesn't want to be caught. 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have too many predators, plus roads to ever let them roam free. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine found out the hard way when her indoor/outdoor cat met a bobcat. It was traumatic for her to find that scene in her yard. Our cats do not go outside. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! When do you sail and what is the itinerary? I have some great memories of that ship sailing out of both San Juan and Ft. Lauderdale. Doing the checkin seems to really increase the excitement for me.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some great memories of that ship sailing out of San Juan and Ft. Lauderdale. We sail 11/24 (Thanksgiving Day) out of Galveston. Unfortunately, it's just a short 4-nighter to Cozumel over the holiday weekend, and Andrew will actually be missing school on Monday when we disembark and drive home. We are happy to be able to squeeze in a 2nd cruise this year even though it's a short one. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you what, I will let you keep Adventure there if I can keep Allure in Ft. Lauderdale. 😁 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
