Lazy day

Posted on March 10, 2008 by Annette

Night, actually. I’ve never watched Lost, as I don’t watch a lot of network television and even fewer series shows. I believe the last series I used to watch on even a regular basis was ER, many years ago, and … Continue reading →

Tastes like chicken

Posted on March 5, 2008 by Annette

Mickey thinks so, anyway. The thing about chickens is that really (from a pet standpoint), they simply aren’t all that bright. Which is fine, really, when you think about it. They’re not like dogs, who need and crave attention, and … Continue reading →

Death and life and death and life

Posted on March 4, 2008 by Annette

It isn’t just animals that die, of course. People can (and do) die both suddenly and not so suddenly. Case in point: one of our customers, who had been with us since almost the very first, died unexpectedly early in … Continue reading →

A peaceful sleep

Posted on March 3, 2008 by Annette

Back on the 18th of February, I mentioned that my cat, Boots, was dying. We knew it wasn’t going to be much longer, and so it wasn’t – after all, she was about 18 years old. I had been sleeping … Continue reading →

Dining on the terrace

Posted on February 28, 2008 by Annette

The first in a series of reposts, now that the technical issues have been handled. Nothing like trying to recreate whatever was in your head at the time you wrote something. We’re in the kitchen, hanging out, talking, probably cooking, … Continue reading →

Endgame

Posted on February 18, 2008 by Annette

My cat is dying. She’s been dying for awhile, of course, just as we all are at our own varying speeds. Her time is simply coming to an end sooner than that same end is coming for the rest of … Continue reading →

Birthdays, we got birthdays

Posted on February 2, 2008 by Annette

Three, to be precise. We combined them into a single dinner to keep our (my) sanity intact, since I am also cooking for tomorrow’s superbowl dinner and next Saturday’s baby shower for Gabs. But first, to the humor impaired fuckwit … Continue reading →

Warming up

Posted on January 31, 2008 by Annette

I’m sure this makes sense in the cat world, somehow. I think it would make more sense for her to lay in front of the heater, but who can say that this isn’t keeping her butt warm just as well?

It’s a tough job

Posted on January 27, 2008 by Annette

But someone has to be the Princess. Now that I’m no longer watching Food Network and football season is drawing to a close, I have discovered some of the strangest shows I’ve ever seen – they’re new to me, since … Continue reading →

Cleaning house

Posted on January 22, 2008 by Annette

Or at least some files. Being able to take a bazillion shots with a digital camera means there are a bazillion images to sort through “later”. And by “later”, I mean “at some point, probably, when you’re bored out of … Continue reading →
