MerryBelle @merrybelle2021 (1393) • Philippines 25 Aug 23

It's nice to hear an old song, especially when it's the easy listening kind - not too fast, not too slow - so non-singers like me can sing along to it. Sweet Baby is a song by Stanley Clarke and George Duke...

MerryBelle @merrybelle2021 (1393) • Philippines 23 Apr 23

what do you do next? Do you still eat it? Or just take off the parts your dog or cat ate? About 2 weeks ago, I caught one cat eating the tuna-mackerel spread I left on the table (I was going to make a sandwich as a snack and...

Do Your Pets Do This? Had To Buy A Covered One.

MerryBelle @merrybelle2021 (1393) • Philippines 4 Jul 22

I prefer a coverless one, but the cat keeps toppling it over at night so we wake up to spilled trash next to the computer table. Good thing it's just "dry" trash like crumpled paper, snack packets, medicine foil, etc. so nothing...
