Recently I started been reading a blog called 1000 Reasons I’m a Crap Mom. It is adorable. Being constantly bombarded by parenting tips she is constantly reminded of her failings as a mother. I don’t have children. I have pets. And even as a pet owner I have my failings. So its probably best that [...]

The Escape Artist
It’s been just over a year since we lost our cat Beavis. Since then, neither Audrey or HappyCat has been allowed to venture outdoors. Ex-stray HappyCat has no real interest in the outdoors.

Seedlings
So all the seeds that I’ve sown indoors this Spring have sprouted except for the Watermelons. Researching a little on the internet I found that I may not be keeping the seedlings warm enough for the watermelon’s liking. We are currently using a room above the garage that we heat minimally. I’ve been keeping the [...]

Cats on a Roof
We did a lot of work in the yard this weekend so while we were out we had the cats running around the yard. Adam decided to put the cats up on the roof of the house. Audrey was not happy! Beavis liked being closer to the sky and to the birds. There was a [...]

Audrey outside at the new house
When we got Audrey I wanted her to be an indoor cat. So I trained her to go outside on a harness. Since a couple adventures outside in the middle of winter Audrey has shown no interest in going outside. So we didn’t even think twice of letting her onto the deck on a beautiful [...]
