Pet Calendar: General Stuck, greennotGreen, efgoldman, Schlemazel… We Need Your Stories, Memories, Quotes

by WaterGirl|  December 7, 20195:03 pm| 72 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads, Pet Blogging, Pet Rescue

Speaking of the pet calendar, please get your entries in!  The first deadline was yesterday.

Look for Pet Calendar Info in the upper right, just under the balloon man; that’s where you’ll find the info if you’re on a computer or a tablet in landscape mode. If you’re on a phone, or on a tablet in portrait mode, look for it in the hamburger; that’s what some people call the 3 horizontal lines (top right) on a mobile device.

John is planning a couple of In Memoriam pages at the front of the 2020 BJ Pet Calendar, and we need your help.

Do you have a favorite comment by General Stuck or Schlemazel?  Stories from a meetup with efgoldman?  Something you learned from greennotGreen or Scotian?

Was there an epic fight between the General and Cornerstone?  You know, more than the usual.  A favorite Charlie story?  Words of wisdom from Schlemazel?  Something that greennotGreen shared that particularly touched you?

Do you know some charming thing about one of our beloved commenters that we would all love to hear about?  Something that would make us laugh, or wipe our eyes?

I searched for each person, and there are 461 pages of threads that match with efgoldman, 67 for greennotGreen, 217 for Schlemazel, 1302 for General Stuck, and 12 pages for Scotian.

There may be more for pages for General Stuck, but he changed his nym fairly frequently and I don’t remember all the nyms he used.  Searching for “stuck” gave the best results and found a couple of his nyms.  Do you guys remember any nyms for Stuck besides General Stuck and General Winfield Stuck? (edit: Stuck in the Funhouse, supplied by Librarian.)

Do you remember the spelling of the other nym was that was close to Schlemazel, but not exactly that? Or what his original nym was before he switched it to one of those? Satby did some sleuthing, and it was Schlemizel in 2012. That gives us a few more years of his comments.

I know he and I had a long conversation about why he changed his nym, but to find that one I need to know the original spelling before it became Schlemazel.  If I could find that conversation, I think we could find what his first nym had been.

Reminder: all of efgoldman’s original comments were somehow corrupted on the old site and were no longer there in the old database when we checked about year ago.  Any comments that efgoldman REPLIED to are in there.  So if EF wrote a comment about the awesome watermelon he found at the farmer’s market, that comment is not in the wordpress database.  But if YOU wrote a comment about the awesome watermelon you found, and efgoldman replied to your comment, his reply will be in there.

We have at least a couple of folks with great Google Fu – Steeplejack and Another Scott.   They did some efgoldman sleuthing last year, and I believe Steep is making a last ditch effort with a 2-year old backup to see if any of efgoldman’s comments can be found. If there’s something that was important  that you haven’t been able to find, maybe they can help us out?  Subaru Diane, I hope you see this, too!

In the meantime, if you have stories, memories, or quotes to share, jump right in!

Let’s take this great idea of John’s and turn it into something special.  Are you guys up for that?

Update:  We want everyone to have the opportunity to contribute ideas for the In Memoriam section, if you so desire.  Since the deadline is so short, if you think you might be proposing something over the next few days, please pipe up in the comments IN THIS THREAD to let us know that so we can plan for more input.  Or not.  Thank You!

Update 12/10: If you would like to contribute further to the In Memoriam portion of the calendar, please send email to WaterGirl at the balloon-juice address.

Pet Calendar and In Memoriam

by John Cole|  December 6, 20194:31 pm| 87 Comments

This post is in: Absent Friends, Pet Blogging, Pet Rescue

Just a reminder to submit your pet pictures for the Balloon Juice Pet Calendar 2020. You can click the link to the upper right that says “Pet Calendar Info” and get the full rundown on how to submit. Get them in soon so we can get cracking!

Also, I thought that this year, in the pages prior to the start of the calendar, we would have an In Memoriam for those we have lost. So if you have a favorite comment or memory about General Stuck, efgoldman, greennotGreen, Scotian, schlemazel, or any others, please place them or link them in the comments below. I will then go through and pick out a few and we will include them in the calendar so that when you get it you can look back fondly on their memories. As a bonus I can spend the next six months dealing with angry emails from people whose memory was not chosen because that’s how we roll on this shit website where no good deed goes unpunished you insufferable pricks.

Update: On a computer or a tablet in landscape mode, you can click the link in the upper right that says “Pet Calendar Info” and get the full rundown on how to submit. On a phone or on a tablet in portrait mode, you can find “Pet Calendar Info” under the 3 horizontal lines, aka the hamburger.

Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup

Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup 7

(I’m going to sneak this in here, something to read when you get tired of debates and impeachment.)

If you’ve been wanting a Great Dane…and think you can handle a Great Dane…this might be your opportunity. This is near my extended family, so I can probably help with transport if we need to relocate him a state or two.

Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup

This is a beautiful Merle who needs a new home. Please email me if you’re interested. He’s located near Lincoln, NE. As always transport can be discussed.

He turned a year old on May 11. He’s been around young children. He has been around other dogs, geese, horses, chickens, and goats. He is still intact and will need to be neutered by 2.

For the most part, he is super well behaved. They are sad to have to put him up for adoption, but they just don’t think it’s fair to him with how busy they are and how much they are gone every day.

He’s housebroken, has had some training and has been easy to train, so expecting with more attention he’ll be a sweet family dog.

I’m going to be very picky to make sure he has the right home.

Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup 6
Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup 5
Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup 4
Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup 3
Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup 2
Great Dane Adoption: Silver Merle Pup 1
He is handsome!
And if you have any questions about what it takes to be a Great Dane person, ask me in the comments, I’m sure I’ll have an answer…and probably a funny story to go with it.

Cat Rescue Transport Bleg (Minneapolis MN to Arlington, VA)

by Anne Laurie|  November 17, 20191:00 pm| 83 Comments

This post is in: Cat Blogging, Pet Rescue

Remember this feral guy who needed a permanent home? Commentor TomatoQueen in Virginia stepped up, so now he needs to get from Minneapolis to Virginia. New message from commentor Edith:

Black Kitty had a clean vet visit this week, and will be ready to travel to his new home after his neuter. The current plan is to schedule his surgery as close to transport date as possible, and then have him stay at the vet until pick-up.

I’m hoping the Balloon-Juice community can help get him from Minneapolis to Arlington, VA. I know a few people in the comments offered to drive, although I wouldn’t want to call them out in a front page post in case it doesn’t work for them now.

I’ve gotten some quotes on transport that range from $750 to $900. I also know that some commenters have closer ties to non-profit groups that might work too. This is all new to me, so basically I’d like to throw it out to the jackal hive mind for help.

You guys know the drill: If you have suggestions about the best transport methods, leave a comment below. Once we’ve got a firmer date and cost quote, I’ll have another post, ask people who want to donate to email me, and I’ll forward Edith’s PayPal-or-similar address to each of you directly. (After I chip in a little myself, of course!)

REPOST: Cat Rescue Bleg – Minneapolis Area

by Anne Laurie|  November 4, 20193:38 pm| 24 Comments

This post is in: Cat Blogging, Pet Rescue

From former lurker Edith:

We are looking for a home for this cute little fella. We already have four, and a toddler, so we’re at our limit. Here’s what we know about him.

We think he’s a feral rather than a dumped pet. He’s been coming around for a couple of years to visit the food dish and heated water dish. He was very skittish at first, but started to warm up to us in the last year. Last winter he started following my son and I to the park, and otherwise hanging out with us when we were outside.

By this spring and summer he was clearly thinking that maybe being warm and having a person of his very own might be worth the loss of independence. I’ve caught him peeking in the screen door more than once, clearly hoping he might be invited inside. Later this summer and fall he started jumping up into our laps to be petted. He mostly avoids our toddler’s attempts to pet him, but hasn’t been aggressive. If our other cats are out in the yard he lurks around the edges, but stays out of their reach. I think he’d be ok with other cats. No idea about dogs.

We took him to the vet this summer for an infected foot. He was pretty passive with the vet. He was FIV/FeLV negative at that time, although he’s been in a few fights since then, so I can’t promise that he still is. I was unsure if we’d be able to get him in on a schedule, so we didn’t start the vaccinations. I have no idea what he knows about a litter box.

I don’t know his age but he probably 2-3 given how long he’s been coming around. We’d pay to have him neutered and start all his vaccinations. We could drive a reasonable distance, but not more than an hour or two each way. We just want a good home for this special, sweet little guy before winter.

You know the drill — if you’re interested, or know somebody who might be, leave a comment below. Or send me an email at annelaurie (dot) bj (at) gmail, and I’ll forward your message to Edith. Fingers crossed we can help this charmer out!

Cat Fosters / Transport Needed – Colorado Springs

by Anne Laurie|  October 8, 20195:55 pm| 19 Comments

This post is in: Cat Blogging, Pet Rescue

From rescuer Barbara:

I am asking for help for some cats that have gotten stranded in Colorado Springs, in particular, anyone who could foster or transport in the area. The very small rescue I work with in the Springs is short on fosters but can provide supplies and I would cover gas if transport is needed…

Details: Rescuers in Oklahoma often transport cats to Colorado where they have a better chance of being adopted. Karen sent 6 cats via rescue flight to a rescue in Pueblo. Unfortunately the rescuer there tried to take too many and got busted. Karen’s cats ended up at the HSPPR. She has no way of getting them back. No other rescues have room at this time. HSPPR is also charging Karen the regular adoption fee to get the cats out. She is not a 501(©3) and does rescue on her own dime.

Penelope and Rose are wobblies – they have cerebral hypoplasia. I have offered to take them – problem is I now live in Tallahassee FL. Second problem – the kittens are being treated for ringworm. Once we get them out of the shelter, they will need a foster until they are cleared to be transported and we can arrange transport. The alternative is to try boarding them, which is expensive.

The other four who also need fosters (or adopters): Sage (male) and Jill (both grey tabbies) are adults; Sterling (brown tabby) and Judah (grey) are about 9-10 months old. If anyone can foster them – supplies provided – please let me know.

I have Barbara’s email and phone number; if you can help (or know someone who can), leave a comment, or contact me at annelaurie (dot) bj (at) gmail (dot) com.

Cat Rescue Bleg – Central California

by Anne Laurie|  September 28, 201912:30 pm| 25 Comments

This post is in: Cat Blogging, Pet Rescue

From commentor Dangerman:

There is an ~8 year old Orange Tabby cat that just lost its owner where I live (call it San Luis Obispo, which explains the SLO in my email nym). My location is a bit of an advantage as I’m almost exactly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

That said, a place “more country than city” would be better for him. His owner passed at 85 and loved this cat in a very big way (I’m a friend); in other words, this cat is spoiled in the extreme, but also very, VERY smart.

There is already kind of an option in place to house this cat but I believe that is much more of a trial/boarding thing than a permanent home thing, so I need to look for options in case of a further emergency.

So, about the cat in a few lines:

(1) VERY friendly, but not really a lap cat; he’ll do laps for a few minutes here and there, but it really isn’t his thing. Sleeping in a sunny spot someplace is his thing. He’s presently being boarded for a few nights and all the Vet Techs are gushing about him as to how chill he is (“so, you want to take my temperature, huh? *yawn*, OK, just make it kinda quick, OK, I got a nap to get to here”)

(2) He’s fixed but still has his claws; he doesn’t believe in cat scratching posts (walks by them, looks, and appears to laugh), so if people have antique furniture or similar, this is not the cat for them

(3) I stated it previously – this cat is SMART; I’ve never seen a cat so well trained. Now, he is a little older and I have no idea about old cats and new tricks. He either has an amazing biological clock or he has learned how to tell time as I could set a watch by his arrivals to be fed morning, evening, and noontime snacks each day (“lessee, big hand there, little hand there, I get food, WOOHOO”)

(4) He just had his shots and annual checkup; there was a minor anomaly in his urine results, but the Vet said no concern at all, just maybe something to watch for in the future

(5) Oh, important, this cat does his business outside; he is litter box trained but from all available evidence (you seriously don’t want to know) he only uses the litter box if his bladder or bowels are about to explode. He might use the box once a week or so

(6) Oh, also very important, this thing is an amazing hunter; he has a bell around his neck but still finds a way to bring in birds, rodents, and bats (yes, bats). He doesn’t kill; he just wants to play. Well, that presents a problem since the animals involved aren’t into the whole play thing. (ESPECIALLY the bats, who are otherwise highly skilled at playing dead, which places the human, generally me, at some risk when I go to dispose of the presumed dead bat.)

If you are interested, know someone who might be interested, or have other helpful suggestions: Leave a comment below, or contact me at annelaurie (dot) bj (at) gmail, and I’ll forward your message to the Dangerman.

Respite Open Thread: Maysie and Tux Update

by TaMara (HFG)|  September 10, 201910:36 am| 38 Comments

This post is in: Cat Blogging, Pet Rescue, Something Good Open Thread

My tolerance for stupidity has reached empty, so once again I’m tuning out. Except probably to hang out here for the debates.  For those of you who need a break, Sister Rail Gun provides us with the perfect antidote:

They weren’t able to get handoff photos, because as you can imagine, it was hectic.  But here they are settling in. More from Sister Rail Gun:

==========================

We got them both into their room. They checked it out and said, “Yep, that’s a litter box, now where’s the food?”

We have Maysie in her favorite spot, by the window overlooking the bird feeders.

Tux behind the ironing board.

Tux and Maysie in the scraps pile behind the ironing board.

Maysie after Tux gave up on the game of tug. They were each pulling on the dangler when Tux said, “Oooh, right, there’s food here!”, let go, and turned away.

Maysie in her new favorite sleeping spot.

==========================

Sister Rail Gun has promised more videos when available – you can click on the video and actually subscribe to be notified.

This is a true respite thread. I don’t care if it only has 2 comments two hours in, if anyone is feeling like I am, they need a break. So as best as I can do, here is your cuteness break for the morning.

Just got some good news from AmyBlueKat:

UPDATE: MAYSIE AND BIG TUX HAVE FOUND A HOME!

We are now en route to Sister Rail Gun of Warm Humanitarianism’s house where lots of love and attention await.

I am beyond grateful for the outpouring of support I have received here in just 28 hours since I first posted. Bill Proctor – this would not have happened without you. May your heart finally rest in peace.

More on how Bill Proctor led to this happy pairing before he left us, here. May he rest in peace.

I told her we would need lots of pictures of the exchange. I will post them when I get them. I just thought we could use some good news today.

Kitten Bleg: These Sweet Cuties Looking For Homes

This post is in: Bleg, Cat Blogging, Pet Rescue

cute kitties

Newest jackal AmyBlueKat has two little foundlings all healthy and ready for their new homes. She’s even willing to transport. Right now they are in the Dallas area.

I found Maysie and brother Big Tux living in the woods beside a busy street in Texas.

They have been spayed, neutered, fully vaccinated, and dewormed.

They have been living indoors and outdoors, and are comfortable around people, other cats, and dogs.

They are very loving!

I will gladly transport them anywhere a good home awaits!

She doesn’t say they need to go together, but I can vouch that two are twice as much fun, but not really twice as much work. And look, they won’t need more than kibble, few toys, a quick vet visit, a litter box, and a lap or two.

You know you need them! Contact AmyBlueKat at amybluekat – at – gmail – dot -com or send me a note and I’ll connect you.

And welcome AmyBlueKat, we look forward to having you join the raucous playroom we call Balloon-Juice.

Respite Open Thread: Waffles and Hemingway Need a Home

by TaMara (HFG)|  September 2, 20196:25 pm| 131 Comments

This post is in: Pet Blogging, Pet Rescue, Something Good Open Thread

Waffles is a six-year-old miniature horse. His best friend is a goose named Hemingway.

They’re available for adoption — together — in Pennsylvania. https://t.co/IOGI9ImkcI pic.twitter.com/Br29gG237r

— Erin (@erinruberry) September 2, 2019

A miniature horse is up for adoption in Pennsylvania – but if you want the horse, you have to adopt his best friend, too.

Waffles is a six-year-old miniature horse, and his best friend is a goose named Hemingway.

Waffles is described as being small, but with a huge personality. He loves the typical “horse things” like grass and carrots, but there is nothing he loves more than Hemingway.

Linda Reider with the Bucks County SPCA said Waffles and Hemingway are a package deal.

“If you want to adopt Waffles, you have to adopt Hemingway. And if you want to adopt Hemingway, you have to adopt Waffles,” Reider told WFMZ.

The friends go way, way back – they were both taken from the same farm, where “the conditions were not good,” as Reider described it.

Even when Waffles was sick, Hemingway wouldn’t leave his side.

“When we go to give medicines or injections [to Waffles], Hemingway would get in between us and say, ‘I’m sorry, that’s my buddy the horse, he doesn’t want a shot today,'” Reider told WFMZ.

If you are interested in adopting this adorable pair, please visit the Bucks County SPCA’s website here.

If you aren’t able to adopt Waffles and Hemingway or are looking for a pet of another kind, please consider adopting another animal from the Bucks County SPCA or from your local animal shelter.

I’m sure there is room in Cole’s backyard…I’ll chip in for transport.

Staff & volunteers will be staying at the shelter to provide essential care to our animals during this critical time of need. Give now to help: https://t.co/vsCX5ekYCj pic.twitter.com/7mOWHJYdyX
