Motherhood with Fur
Okay, so, we have the necessary litter box action but now Mike has a cold, complete with sniffles, runny eyes, and well . . . forgive me guys . . . typical male grumpiness when ill. I left the bed unmade for him today because if you’re a cat an unmade bed is the BEST [...]

Calling All Little Townites
Click thumb for larger image.
Since I know there are some denizens of the Little Town, past and present, who read EM, I wanted to put this photo up. About twice a week I check EBay to see if Little Town images are up for sale. I’m a digital collector of photos of our community in [...]

Update from Camp Litter Box
Mike is tormenting me and he’s enjoying it. He’s making up for the 6 a.m. visit to the emergency clinic. He’s making up for three nights at Dr. Susan’s joint. He’s making up for the fact that his little butt is shaved.
Right after I got the camera set up I found him asleep in R.’s [...]

Litterbox Cam
Okay, Mike has totally had enough of being watched and followed. I’m supposed to be observing him in the litter box, which is a little difficult to do when he won’t go anywhere near the damn thing. So what does the techno savvy cat owner do? Sets up a litter box cam. I used the [...]

Joyous Reunion
If Andy could have managed confetti and streamers to welcome Mike home, I’d be sweeping the living room right now. That little guy was absolutely turning cartwheels and to my surprise, so was Dorey. Right now all three are cuddled up on the sofa and Andy and Mike are washing away all traces of Eau [...]

Update on Mike
Well, Mike and Dr. Susan had a lot of quality time together this weekend getting his plumbing worked out. I’ll spare you the details, but after the second “re-piping,” the system is flowing. He does, however, have to spend another night to make sure.
Honest to God, I think I’m more miserable than he is because [...]

Update on Mr. Mike
Visiting with the Neighbors
Originally uploaded by RanaW.
Took this the day before Mike’s plumbing went awry. He is such a clown. We can only hope his good humor will be restored when he gets home from the clinic.
Rachel called to tell me he’s doing well. No [...]

Hadn’t Planned
A 6 a.m. visit to the emergency vet clinic wasn’t in the post-Thanksgiving plan but that’s what Mike and I got to do yesterday any way. Courtesy of male plumbing. Yeah, tomcat couldn’t go. There are long names involved, which I’m sure Dr. Susan can supply, but essentially Mike is blocked.
Mike is not a people [...]

In the Grocery Store: Little Cow Poke
This afternoon I was standing in line behind a mini-cowboy, probably about 3, but outfitted with black boots, starched little jeans, white shirt, and a BIG hat. He and his brother were with their grandmother who was unloading the cart. Little Cow Poke was on the opposite side of the cart and promptly reached down [...]
