Fletcher's winter camping wish list
Fletcher already has a pack and a camping food and water bowl, but here’s his winter camping wish list:
Pooches claws get worn down and often break when he’s running on the rocky trail. The Ruff Wear Bark’n Boots Grip Trex Dog Boots would fix that!
Having a layer between you and the ground when sleeping is a must for staying warm. The Highlands Bed is a great option for...

a walk in the woods
Last weekend, we took Fletcher on his first camping overnighter on the Appalachian Trail. He loved it. He put it in four-paw drive and had no trouble getting over the rocks on the trail. He wore his new pack and carried all of his own supplies. I love seeing him run around the woods because he’s so happy and excited.
But the evening took a turn for the worse when we heard rustling and...

update: Basement Cat
I took Basement Cat to the vet on Friday to see how she was doing on her new food to manage her hyperthyroidism. I have to admit she had me a little worried. Basement Cat is usually a mega-bitch at the vet and she was actually relaxed (at first). She let the vet tech lift her onto the scale with minimal grumbling, and while we waited for the doctor, she relaxed on a chair; unheard of considering...

missing cat?
Can something be missing if you don’t know it’s missing?
The other night, Chris and I had friends over for dinner and relaxing (aka drinking wine and beer). When our friends left to go home, they noticed Basement Cat outside under the bushes and brought her inside. Basement Cat outside? No one had gone in or out of the door for 2-3 hours. There’s been a few cases where...

'tis the season to cuddle
During the winter, you can’t sit or lie down in my house without an animal cuddling with you (or more likely, on you). Pooch and Monkey are the major offenders but Elsie is up there too. At first it’s really cute, but give it a couple of weeks and you just want a spot to yourself without a cat and/or dog draped over you. Pooch has been particularly clingy this winter. For years, Pooch...

WatchMy vet recommended trying Hill’s Prescription Diet y/d Feline Thyroid Health with Basement Cat to manage her hyperthyroidism. If it works, it means no more twice daily medication!

do these make me a crazy cat lady?
I don’t know if I could rock these flats in public (I’m a little self-conscious about what others think of me) but I would totally wear them around the house!

peeping taz
This is Taz, the very handsome tomcat that lives next door. He spends so much time in our yard, other neighbors think he is our cat. Taz has a thing for Elsie. He sits outside on the porch railing and leans in so he can see her as she lays on the couch. When she notices he’s there, they paw at each other through the window. It’s very cute.
Don’t tell Elsie this but I’ve...
