Searching for Direction & Purpose in Life's Sea of Opportunities
Having grown up in suburban Southern California, nature to me has always been something you drove to go see … a lot like snow. I remember how excited I would get when I was young and we would pass a deer warning sign as we drove up to the mountains. Not once during those trips… Continue reading False Advertising
My favorite types of brain candy posts for this blog are based on random stuff I've seen/remembered that fits into one of two categories: advertisements or pets. This week post contains both! Somehow I fell into a rabbit hole on the internet and ended up on this. Has the inventor this cat grooming bag ever… Continue reading Pet Product Insanity
I have been so fortunate in my life to be surrounded by animal lovers. Recently, I talked about Tom's support of animal charities. Now I'm going to tell you about Barb's love of animals. The very first time I remember petting a cat was when my Dad and Barb were dating and we went over… Continue reading Kittens!
This weekend is Tom's birthday. My gift to him is as it has been for the last few years at his request: a donation to an animal charity. I chose to donate to my local animal control because that is where I got Carmen. So long as it goes to help these wonderful creatures we call… Continue reading Tom’s Birthday Request
We are already a few weeks into the new year. That means that many resolutions have already fallen by the wayside - which is very obvious at my gym. There is one bad habit in my household that I am bound and determined to break. Carmen isn't pleased. As I mentioned in the past, Carmen… Continue reading Hard Habit to Break
There are some people out there that seem to always take good pictures, and then there are the rest of us. As I've shown with my driver's license photo, I'm definitely in the later category. I'm discovering that cats can also fall into one of those two categories. Lemon, being supermodel thin, and having nailed… Continue reading All in the Angle
Over the weekend, Carmen had her birthday. She's eight! I split a can of tuna between her and Lemon as a treat. It is something that doesn't aggravate Lemon's condition. Technically it wasn't Carmen's actual birthday. I consider the anniversary of my bringing her home from the pound to be her birthday. Seems as good a… Continue reading Carmen’s Birthday
Many people have joined the gluten-free band wagon, deciding that they feel better without most grains in their diet. Good for them if it works! Of this group, there are some that are bringing their pets along for the grain-free ride. It has become trendy. Our cats are on a grain-free diet, too, but for… Continue reading Trendy Cat
I am hilarious ... at least to me. I crack myself up all the time. Then again, I am easily amused. I've always viewed that as a positive thing - I laugh all the time. I was so excited to learn that Wil Wheaton is also easily amused! AND to add to my geek-out, Sheldon on Big Bang… Continue reading Cracked
I am hoping to have several guest posts to my blog scattered throughout this year. I figured I would start it out with a contribution from Carmen. This post was actually written by Carmen to my friend and neighbor who watches our felines when we are gone. I figured my readers would appreciate Carmen's efforts.… Continue reading Furry Welcome
Grown Up, Now What?
