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…
Bark Ball
This past Saturday was Washington Humane Society’s 23rd annual Bark Ball to raise money and celebrate the work that WHS does in and around the nation’s capital. It’s a glitzy event with animal lovers spending money for the purpose of helping the shelter. Sadly, despite the above video, Bo couldn’t come, but it was still…
Just because Toby can’t read doesn’t mean I don’t
The other day, I picked up a contemporary romance collection of short stories about couples brought together because of cats. I thought it looked cute and it was under $2. Unfortunately, the stories weren’t my favorites, partially because of the cats and the people’s behaviors toward their cats. One heroine had a pure-bred, fully-intact female…
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!!!
My awesome mom
My mom is an amazing woman. She was on law review at a seriously amazing law school where she met my dad and still made time to play by Walden Pond and go to baseball games despite maintaining an excellent gpa. She then was a partner at a major law firm with my dad while…
What Keen Needs
It’s been a long week and a long Friday (I got stuck in an elevator this morning. It was dark and small and I’m claustrophobic) so I elected to stay in for a chill Friday with the cats. Picked up an iced coffee at Silver Spring’s Kefa Cafe and some books from Silver Spring Books…
Doga in the Dish
The Georgetown Dish covered Saturday’s Doga event! First, a confession, I almost didn’t post the link because I really don’t like the photo of me. There were about ten photos taken but little Daffie just did not want to look at the camera. I guess I’d rather the cat look cute and me look odd…
