I woke up, unassisted, at 2:15 a.m. today. How.Irritating. I’d love to blame it on the furbabies – they are the usual suspects – but all three were sound asleep. Snoring, in fact. I found that oddly comforting, since we’re on the next round of home improvements. (This time, a sewer line repair! Brought to […]
Furbabies
Gentle Jasper Joins the Family
Be careful when you answer truthfully. It may lead to unexpected results. For example, when we applied to adopt Oliver, the application asked us what type of cat we were looking for. We answered “A Blue Russian or a Siamese, male with a great personality.” So when we went to meet Oliver (and take him […]
Oliver is Everywhere
Most people who read this blog are friends with us on Facebook as well, which means that you already know that we’ve added a new little boy to the family. Oliver is by no means a replacement for Ben. No kitty can replace that love muffin (whom we still miss). However, Oliver has filled a […]
On Life, Love and the Loss of Ben
It’s been two weeks and two days since we lost our sweet boy, Ben. Even now, we can’t believe how empty the house is without him. For example, since it’s early in the morning Ben would be sitting on my lap to “help” me write this post. He was a kitty with routines. Wake up when […]
We’re Revoking His Cat Card
Ben has become too pathetic for words. There’s got to be a limit to how ridiculous a cat can be. He’s pushing it for sure.
Typical Dinner with the Hayleys
Presenting winter weekday quick soup recipe #652 (seriously, I think we’ve eaten soup nearly every day this week): Broccoli cheese soup with Honey-Baked ham and Chipotle Tabasco. Doesn’t it look wonderful? But here’s the other all-too-frequent part of a Hayley dinner that we usually don’t show you: Pathetic.
We Have a Stalker
Some days you just feel sure that somebody is watching you. For me, that’s most days – particularly if I’m working in the kitchen. PS – Bridget always takes the high ground. It gives her the best view. And she wants you to know that her mama’s the most interesting person in the world.
Pets for Christians
Cats, Kelly announced, are the perfect pet for Christians. After all, we’re already used to having a master.
We Have Two
When our niece was here for her summer visit, she accompanied me on several errands around town. (After all, the aunt needed to take advantage of mid-week shopping opportunities!) One of those stops was at the pet store to stock up while food and litter were on sale. At the register, the clerk handed us […]
How Bridget Spent Saturday
Honestly, it’s how she spends nearly every day outside of stalking me throughout the house.
