OK, so it’s been a while since I’ve updated. That happens. This update, however, has a great thematic whole to it since I can link everything I want to update about to one theme: critters. I even have pictures of some of these critters, so you get to see some of the stuff I’ve been doing with our new camera. I’m using thumbnails for all the pictures, so if you want a larger version, Continue reading →

The local Wal-Mart sells snails! When I saw that, I immediately wanted one. We had moved some of our old tank stuff here to the house in Jasper, but it’s in the basement (and probably not in any condition for living critters right now) so I went ahead and got a new little tank and a couple little decorations for it. I’ve set it up here in the living room so it can acclimate and Continue reading →

Kitty had an eventful day today. I went grocery shopping this afternoon. Normally I go with the husband because we alternate who comes in and out of the door so as to prevent Kitty from making an escape. Well, with him at work and me doing all the unloading, I figured she might make a dash for escape. She did. Both did she make a dash for escape as well as actually Continue reading →

Haven’t posted in a bit…most of you are probably getting used to the lack of updates, though. Regardless, I wanted to update everyone as to how Kitty’s doing. First off, we got her a flea/tick collar, figuring maybe that would help. We also got some organic flea control oil that is put on the back of the cat’s head so the cat can’t lick it off. The oil is made of a lot of different types of Continue reading →

Kitty’s been acting hinky…well, hinkier than usual. I mean, she’s always had issues, being something of a psychotic little furball who’s sometimes sweet and cuddly. At any rate, she’s been really sensitive and moody lately, and even more than that, her back is really sensitive and bothering her. At first, I just thought she was having problems with really dry skin again like every Continue reading →

What’s this? A second post…on the same day?! Yup. I just wanted to post a quickie about how Ian and I did a little shopping and picked up the following DVD set: Continue reading →

I haven’t been sleeping all that well lately, thanks to stress and so forth, and so being awake last night around 2:30 am wasn’t odd. I was fairly close to drifting off when I heard clamoring from the other end of the hallway. At first, I thought it was Kitty having trouble getting out of her new litterbox (It is rather deep.), but then she came thundering down the hallway, nails grating across Continue reading →

You know, I hate winter pretty hardcore because of the dry skin and static electricity and constantly being cold, but I got to thinking about it and Kitty must hate it even more than me (if that’s possible). The poor dear has tons of extra fur to keep her warm, but it’s so dry here that her coat gets kind of rough and is probably harder to take care of. Then there’s the continual search Continue reading →

Well, Kitty tried to summon another familiar today. I went upstairs to grab the USB keyboard from the alcove in our bedroom, and I noticed Kitty in there on the floor. Now, this may not seem too unusual to you, but if you realize that Kitty spends most of her time in her room on her bed or in the living room on the couch, then you’d also realize that finding her on the floor of our room is Continue reading →

Today is Kitty’s eighth birthday! My adorable little bundle of fur is growing up; she just refuses to act like it. 😉 The husband and I got her a tin of Fancy Feast Tuna Style (or whatever it’s called) for her as a birthday gift. I know she’ll like it. We’re both just so happy to have Kitty in our lives. She’s our favorite little person with whiskers and claws. 🙂 So happy birthday, Kitty!
