Five Confessions

Posted on January 15, 2009 by Bethany

“But it’s cold out there!” Meet my Toby. He burrowed himself into the sheets while I was watching tv and I had to grab my camera to take a photo of him. I promise one of his full glory soon.

New Years Resolutions/Goals

Posted on January 6, 2009 by Bethany

After taking December off to shower my cat with holiday joys, Capital Animals is back! While making some general New Years Resolutions I realized that a number of them were animal-related.
