For those of you just tuning in, yesterday I fell off a horse and kicked myself in the face, and now my jaw won’t close. I was hoping that it would have miraculously fixed itself overnight, but not so much.  Happily, my jaw still doesn’t hurt, I just can’t get my back teeth to touch [...]

Like Water for Cats

December 8, 2011

Gus drinks a TON of water. The dog and the cat share a water bowl, because Gussie can’t be bothered with drinking out of a small, cat-sized bowl.  It is beneath him, really.  So the two of them share a big, glass mixing bowl of water.  Casey, however, not only spends her days outside, she [...]

Casey and Gus Hold Hands

December 5, 2011

That’s really all there is to say about that.

TIME OUT.

November 29, 2011

I must have jinxed myself talking about the adorableness of Gussie because not too many minutes ago, he and the dog were up to their usual nonsense, chasing each other around, and attempting to bite each other’s faces.  Sometimes, Gus manages to get a claw stuck in Casey’s face, to which I yell: “You better [...]

Gussery

November 29, 2011

Oh, Gus the cat. He is pure entertainment.  A few things Gus enjoys: Watching TV.  Here he is watching “The League.“  That show is ridiculously funny:  if you don’t already watch it, you need to start.  Horribly inappropriate, but I find it hysterical. Gus also enjoyed an equally inappropriate movie, “Bridesmaids.” Besides TV, Gus also [...]

November 25, 2011

I love that it is Friday and I’m already on my third day off.  WOO HOO!  Glory.  To celebrate, I did a fat lot of nothing today, as did the lazy animals. I also did some gardening.  One of my favorite hobbies is hole-digging.  I’m not kidding.  But I don’t like to dig in hard, [...]

Cures for Rage: Motherwort and Gussie

October 25, 2011

I have extreme workplace crankiness.  You would seriously not believe the nonsense that goes on in that place.  I am continually shocked.  And I’ve seen a lot.  A LOT, yo. My amazing friend Kelly the midwife recommended a combo of Lemon Balm and Motherwort to calm the eff down.  I have been taking it mostly [...]

Adopted Pet Stories

The website “From Alone to Home” is filled with stories of pets who have come from shelters or rescue organizations, and GUESS who is featured today?  That’s right, the king and queen of destruction, mayhem, and over the top cuteness themselves, Casey-Dog and Gus! Here’s the link:  click here for Casey and Gus-ness Yes.  That [...]

The Dynamic (and Destructive) Duo

October 6, 2011

Before I got Gus, I was kind of thinking about getting a second dog to keep Casey-Dog company.  However, as it turns out, Gus is the perfect second dog!  He and Casey are definitely best buddies as evidenced by cutenesses such as the following: However, what those photos don’t show is that there is so [...]
