How much is that door in the window?

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Well, I suppose I can’t say that life with Door isn’t an adventure. Though perhaps not in the way one might think. Or want.
By Monday, Door’s litterbox issues weren’t improving, so I bundled him up and we headed to the vet a day early to get him checked out. Dr. M. looked him […]

Even more cute.

After an exciting trip to the vet, followed by frequent feedings and medicines, Door finally passes out for a while in the window seat. My friend R responded to this image with “Awwwwww, kittenloaf!” Which I think might be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
So far, he’s still pooping like a madman, but doesn’t […]

Catstravaganza. Crapstravaganza.

Obviously, I’m using the cel phone’s camera to take pictures. Crappy quality, but hey, it’s what’s here. And I’d hate to let Door’s first week go by undocumented. Add to the list: cheap but functional digital camera.

Thank god for Skipper.

Just when I thought good seafood was a fantasy in these parts–finally, a seafood restaurant that knows the meaning of “fresh!”
In all the years I’ve lived in this part of the country, and with its proximity to an oceanfront area where fresh seafood is caught, I’ve never understood why it was nearly impossible to find […]

At vacation’s end.

Can’t complain, as I’ve had a lovely 11 days in a row without the need to attend to my email, work on a project, or concern myself with anything beyond household chores and general hobbies. Tomorrow, however, brings an end to the respite and return to the daily grind. It’s sure to be exciting, though […]

Addition to the family.

I am weak. I am a weak, weak person. The cuteness… it did win me over.

I had to run to the pet store, to pick up food and litter for Miss Priss, and a new (smaller) litterbox to take up the Lake House. (Her current box is too large to schlep and I’m […]
