I’ve been trying to get some cleaning done this holiday but was just distracted by how sweet Toby was being with his new “friend.” My nana had a collection of small stuffed dogs that she gave me to me when she started preparing for the day that she and my grandpa might have to move…

Support Pakistan
When Haiti experienced an earthquake, there were telethons, collections, front page headlines, radio djs talking about it, massive cell phone donations, and more to help the victims. Now there’s massive flooding in Pakistan, causing more damage than “the 2004 Asian tsunami, the 2005 Pakistan earthquake, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake combined” (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/08/19/why_doesnt_the_world_care_about_pakistanis ) and the…
Re-homing PSA / I’m on my high horse
I do have sympathy for those who must give up their pets. My grandparents had to give up their dog after my nana’s health problems continued to worsen and my grandpa no longer had the time to care for the dog the way he should. Also, the dog loved to dart out open doors and…
Greeted with a purr
Sorry for the lack of posts but I didn’t want to announce that I’d be out of town for a few days. My boyfriend and I headed up to Cleveland to see my parents. My boyfriend has only been in Cleveland at Christmas when it’s not at its prettiest so it was a treat to…
Something so cute can’t be that dastardly
It’s been one of those special weeks where my boyfriend and I keep repeating “it’s a good thing they’re so cute.” Monday, I stepped in one of Keen’s hairballs while trying to get ready for work and Toby was acting oddly that night. He was peeing every 15 min or so, racing between the litter…
Dogs and Cat Pee
First, a cool article that talks about a study showing wolves and dingos were better at problem solving than domesticated dogs. I’d be curious to see this study done with different breeds of domesticated dogs, including those who are a little more “wild.” Second, I think (in my sleeping med induced haze) that Toby is…
Senior Kitty in MD needs a home
I have a weakness for the senior cats. As some might know, one of my favorite fosters, LeCat, was a 14 year old who was brought to the shelter when his person went to a nursing home and no one in the family would take him. I still say prayers of gratitude for the awesome…
I was sick again
I had a bad lung infection that hit Monday and barely let up this past Sunday so I’ve been playing catch up ever since then. I’ll write something good soon now that I’m feeling close to normal and Toby is no longer running scared from coughing fits. He tried to be sweet and would curl…
Ridiculously Cute DC Puppies
So after a full weekend with the family I’m way too exhausted to write anything good. So I’ll direct you to my friend Gina’s blog about her foster puppies. She’s this incredible volunteer and awesome person. And the puppies she’s caring for need homes. So go bask in the cuteness. Puppies!!!
All you need
All I need in life (other than some tea and food) is in that photo. Toby and books. I was sick today (there are a few bugs going around different circles–I’m hoping this is the 24 hour one) and I spent the day in bed, sleeping, with Toby keeping a watchful eye Keen wandered near…
