Live yogurt saved her life when she had a tummy upset at about 3 weeks old and was going down fast - maybe something to keep in for your brood?<br /><br />And ouch the scratches from the excited windmilling paws when i fed her with the syringe! She's a big spoilt tiger now :>)<br /><br />good luck with yoursvivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-28133601352359275322011-05-30T09:15:41.094-07:002011-05-30T09:15:41.094-07:00When I was about 15 I saw Käthe Kollwitz's &qu...When I was about 15 I saw Käthe Kollwitz's "Death grabbing at a group of children" printed in the newspaper. It was so chilling and beautiful I tore it out of the paper and kept it. She made me see the difference between decoration and "ideas". Thanks for the great post that reminds me that once there was a time when Memorial Day had nothing whatever to do with 3 day sales at Macys. :)Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-86149077281353235172011-05-30T08:16:51.698-07:002011-05-30T08:16:51.698-07:00I have long been a fan of Kollwitz since studying ...I have long been a fan of Kollwitz since studying her in my college days. In my opinion her work stands alone. No other work makes me as emotional as hers.Kim Rempelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010163424578410675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-41840120998138239162011-05-30T04:28:25.985-07:002011-05-30T04:28:25.985-07:00Thank you, Katherine.Thank you, Katherine.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-40868648813223061242011-05-29T21:32:12.884-07:002011-05-29T21:32:12.884-07:00Kollwitz's drawings and etchings strike at the...Kollwitz's drawings and etchings strike at the heart and soul. I can never turn away from them when I come face to face with them in books and in museums. Good feature!Katherine van Schoonhovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856296773149274225noreply@blogger.com
