Taste Addison
This past weekend we went to Taste Addison. We got to try a bunch of good food and saw Collective Soul, and because I am too stupid to remember to use sunscreen I now have a peeling nose. The critters are all doing well, Simon had his stitches removed and we let him out in [...]

Herb garden invaders?
We planted an herb garden and the new plants are doing good but something is munching on my tomato and sunflowers’ leaves. I haven’t seen any bugs, I just find holes. I really hate to use any chemicals so I guess I will just hope that the unseen invaders aren’t too hungry.

Simon’s surgery
See what I meant about the ’sporadic and haphazard’ updates? Anyway…Simon had his surgery last Friday and came home Saturday, he is doing very well and walking better on the leg that had surgery than the one that was previously operated on. Nipsy continues to do well. Lilly and Simon are going to the vet’s [...]

Our vet feels it is something called femoral head and neck metaphyseal osteopathy and is pretty confident that he will be able to walk after another FHO surgery, and that we shouldn’t see any further problems. Of course we’ve [...]

Another animal catastrophe!
I’m beginning to wonder if we are cursed or something…
Last night we were sitting in the living room with the animals, and Wednesday (AKA Fatty Lump O’Cat) decided that she could make it from the back of the couch to the cat tower in the dining room. There was a loud scrabbling thud as she [...]

Lazy Sunday, insomnia, and a Nipsy update
Today (or should I say yesterday) we did very little except get the cars washed and do laundry. We didn’t feel like cooking and I ordered Chinese food for dinner, which arrived very late and was hungrily scarfed down along with a bottle of red wine. Now I am up at 1:00 AM working on [...]
