hooray for healthy kitties

2008-02-24T18:08:37Z

Zoe seems to be over her urinary issues, and I am SO relieved. I didn't get her to the vet, just really pushed fluids into her, and that seemed to set things right. I fed her watered down canned food and chicken broth - luckily, she never lost ...

kitty woes

2008-02-21T00:28:08Z

So. Last week, my fifteen year old cat Miss Bea (formerly known as The Cat Who Likes To Pee On Things - she's now cleaned up her act, so to speak!) started breathing in a very strange manner. Loud and laboured. You could hear her breathing from...

a little narcissism and a monster

2007-05-07T02:41:41Z

I read about this little project in Brooke's blog, and decided that I want to give it a try. Yes, I'm going to take a photo of myself every day for a whole year. Only 363 days to go! Maybe this will help me get over my self-consciousness an...

This owl painting is now for sale in my etsy shop. Such a nice day today - Dusty and I spent all day out in the backyard. He had fun playing with the hose while I swapped some dill and echinacea for some raspberry bushes from our neighbour Eva...
