Someone is opening our pantry door. The people in the house have all claimed innocence. Now we’re down to questioning the furbabies. Is is Furry Suspect #1? Awwww…she just wants some loving. What a sweet girl. Is it Furry Suspect #2? What a precious face! A baby with such a precious face wouldn’t be naughty, […]
Furbabies
Friday Night
It’s a lazy, quiet Friday evening at the Hayley House. Pretty typical kitty behavior when they know we have nowhere to go and nothing to do. There’s not a spare lap to be found. We’re all full up! I feel so used.
Is It Too Much To Ask?
Just before going to bed last night, I told The Boy that all I really wanted was a decent night’s sleep. I’ve had so much going on lately that I’ve taken to waking up at 4:30 am, thinking about the day’s deadlines. I really really needed sleep. Since I don’t remember saying anything else, I […]
My Little Helper
Saturday was mostly a lazy day – a very needed lazy day after an exhausting week and a half. But regardless of our need for rest, we’ve realized that things around the Hayley House simply don’t get done unless we take the time to do them! I threw some laundry on the bed mid-afternoon, then […]
Making the Rounds
I feel like someone is watching me. I think he’s saying, Get off the computer so I can give you kisses! Then…he heads over to snuggle with his dad. What a worthless cat!
Furbaby Holiday Fun
Grandma Mo…ummm…Santa had some stocking stuffers for the furbabies. In addition to spoiling them terribly with wet treats, there was also a new toy. Not only does this fuzzy mouse look eerily real (take it from one caught-off-guard-woman hiking stumbling into the kitchen to make coffee at 5 am!), but it’s also battery operated. It […]
Reminder: Christmas Safety Minute
Just in case anyone’s forgotten since last year, furbabies and ribbon do not mix well. The furbabies decided to give Mama a hand (paw?) while wrapping work gifts the other night. After rescuing the curling ribbon from various parts of the house – twice – I left it sitting in the living room while I […]
Kitty of Christmas Past
Flashback to Christmas 2004… We only had one kitty, our little girl – who was truly a little girl then. We’d adopted Bridget from a British Cat Rescue Society and she was a real handful. Full of spunk and naughtiness, she was unafraid and into everything. And when I say unafraid, I mean that: She […]
Protecting Ben
Our sweet boy Ben has a not-so-small problem: He has FIV, the feline version of HIV. We adopted Ben from a rescue society, who told us that Ben had passed all of his medical tests with flying colors. When we later took him in for some much-needed dental work, our vet realized that he actually […]
